  • I'm desperately hoping for a first sighting of Chris Powell having a coffee at the Toddington Service Area to be reported!
    Can't help you with that but I did see him at KFC Newport Pagnell

    🤥
  • From a good source I’m told he is gone

    Why did they give this clown the January window and let him bring in his own players

    Why did they give him the job in the first place, they must have been the ONLY ones who thought he was capable

    These guys are clueless
    I'd imagine that Apples had little to no say in who they brought in. That seems to be the way these days with head coaches and DOF. He just gets given the tools and told to get on with it. All the gear, no idea as far as apple sauce is concerned.
    Hard to believe that Fiorini is anyone but Appleton's player
  • I have actually heard Rumours myself for once



    Cracking album it is.

    Not so sure. We’ve obviously got lines of communication with Man City because of Tedic. 
  • He’s not gone.

    And Appleton has had him on loan twice before. Seems like a big coincidence if he's Scott's player.

    Appleton said he wanted a different profile of midfielder this Jan window and got it in Coventry and Bakinson. I think the idea he hasn't had an input is practically a conspiracy theory.

    definitely ..... City are desperate to keep in with Charlton, because we're handy to take any of their old dross

    I never saw that coming

    Please no 
  • If so, this has to be one of the strangest appointments we've ever made and I Include the Roland years in that! 

    If you cut Charlton Athletic in half it would read 'Bobbins' straight down the middle.
    Nothing changes

    Appleton will have had impact, but he's just one voice. No way would we have spent money on a signing like Coventry unless Scott and others agreed, it's not like the old days where the manager had more or less total freedom to sign players.

    Sunderland desperately want Michael Beale out. I'll take him!
    Seems to have failed a lot of late...
    Should have stayed at QPR where he was doing well, instead of giving it the big ‘integrity’ interview before jumping to rangers a couple of weeks later. 

    I am sure it’s only a little thing, but no doubt players will hang onto his words less when he wants to give speeches about building something and team togetherness etc.

    Is Mark Warburton worth a look or out of the question? No one seems to mention him anymore. Did his stock plummet or does he not want to manage?
  • won't be sad to see the back of him, but his replacement will be our 19th manager in the 18 years since Curbs left; 14th in the 10 years since Powell left; and 6th in the 3 years since Bows (not including caretakers!).

    Wonder if it's worth installing a revolving door on the manager's office at this point?
  • I think it is ridiculous for us to say Appleton didn't/doesn't care. How do we know something like that? People have their ways and unless we are close to him and see him working we can comment on results and performances but not something like that.

    They were Scotts players
    Some of whom happened to have played for Appleton before...

    Bearing in mind the number of clubs he has managed its bound to happen

  • I don't have any inside sources but thought this was worth a share,

    I went for my morning trip to Aldi and went to pick a bunch of red apples. At the top of the pile was one lone rotter. Before I got a chance to pick it off the pile and throw it away, a store assistant with the name badge 'A.Scott' intervened, grabbed the rotter and said 'don't worry fella, the reds deserve better than that'. He then booted the bad apple down the fruit and veg aisle, turned and gave me a wink before he got back to his shop floor duties. 

    Make of that what you will 

    Thanks for sharing that true story 🤥

    After much thought🤔 I believe you should've gone to Sainsbury's 🍎
    Haha, as if you think I can afford Sainsbury premium grade apples. I wish.
