Kind of tongue in cheek, but seriously Appleton can only be a few more crap results from getting the tin tack
John Eustace for me, maybe even Tony Mowbray...

it’s not the manager, it’s a poor squad of players.i have no idea if Appleton is any good , all I see is he has very little to work with.22

Charlton are already a laughing stock and replacing yet another manager after ten minutes will add to the laughter. Who of any note do you seriously think would entertain coming to work at our three ring circus ? In the knowledge that you can’t polish a turd. At some point we’ve got to support a manager in the transfer market and give him time to get things how he wants things. I’ll make a judgement on Appleton next November and then only based on who he’s allowed to bring in.8

There's a reason Darren Ferguson laughed when offered the gig. The same reason Chris Powell kindly declined.
The vision and the tools by which to reach it don't add up.
You'll always get some no mark willing to do it though. And that's why we ended up with Appleton. And there's plenty more where he came from.39 -

Every chance Mowbray will end up at Birmingham I think but I am hoping there s some kind of plan B at least for us0 -

Or another way, wtf would these two want to come here.
Or another way, Appleton is not the problem. Let him have the next two windows with HIS players coming in.5 -

The decent managers out there can do better than us.
Eustace and Mowbray amongst them.0 -

Since Bowyer, all the external appointments have been a bit questionable, and have often come out of nowhere.
Adkins and Holden weren't in the conversation, but emerged. Garner did reasonably at Swindon, but it's not as if he was tipped everywhere to be the next big thing.
Appleton was a "safer" appointment, but so was Russell Slade...2 -

There’s no way Eustace or Mowbray would drop to league 1, they will easily get decent championship jobs
Michael Duff would be my first choice. Failing that then maybe Gary Rowett would be more likely to drop down than those first 2 as he’s probably settled down here and played for us.Based on this regimes last 2 appointments though, there would have to be a serious change in ambition to get one of those3 -

As per my post further back in the thread, the way it’s panning out under the new owners, it’s made a few people who were talking them up, look a bit silly

The last 3 managers to get us up were former players. Whose out there?5

Airman - could you identify any type of owner or existing owner in the EFL ( a realistic one) that you would be happy with ?
It seems to me that 99% of potential owners of a club like Charlton are likely to be gambling chancers . No sensible business person would ever take it on.1 -
As each manager seems to be a little worse than the last, I'm worried about where we go next. Here's a name that got long history of management in the sport sector, Gordon Brittas. That'd be about Charlton's level.2

Surely our US owners know little about the game so are relying on the British management structure they’ve put in place. They acted quickly to get rid of Holden. Who would they need to get rid of now? They will be seeing that this isn’t working and being American they would want to act quickly I would think. But what can they do? It would take guts to get rid of the big guns they’ve put in place. But, things aren’t working. I have no idea how they’d need to go about changing things but as things stand we seem to be spiraling downwards. Is it as simple as sacking Appleton? Seems a lot bigger than that to me.
i suppose we have the transfer window ahead of us which may give us an idea of what they are about. I hope they act positively in some way. The core of the team just seems all wrong.1 -

Of course we can argue that no sensible business person would ever buy most clubs, which is likely true. But that doesn’t mean they will all do it equally badly. The lack of control/ownership of the assets is what has enabled the three latest ownerships. It’s hard to see how we get beyond that at present.5 -

Everything that's wrong with modern football fans in a thread.
We've lost 3 games under Appleton.
THREE.
In 16(?) Games.
We lost more than that in the first 5 games of the season FFS.
And if he was sacked, what message does that send out about the new owners? You think that would lead to managers of a decent quality queuing out the door wanting to work with them?
If that was Chris Powell most of you would be clamouring to "give him time", "he hasn't had a proper window to sort out his team yet", "at least he's movednus away from the relegation places".
It's pathetic, some of our fans are so deluded it's unreal
