    I’ve been supporting us for over 40 years and the only successful managers we’ve had have been promoted internally or have connections with the club before hand not one outside manager has come in and been successful ie winning promotion. Unless I’ve forgotten. 
    Suppose we got to get lucky and get one sooner or later. 
    It is interesting isn’t it. Four promotions in my lifetime. For all of them we had a manager who was a former player in their first job in management. I know correlation doesn’t equal causation but I wonder if it’s more than coincidence. 
    Can only compare if it was exactly the same set of players in exactly the same league, with exactly the same opposition. Reckon this is definitely just coincidence more than anything else.

    Who put up the message on here to say ‘they had a text’ and caused this kerfuffle? 
    @Chippycafc
    Just passing on a message I received... Glad to listen to others without scoffing. I will ignore the childish nonsense said since. XX
    I feel the pain, you pass on what you are told, and people dig at you! Sometimes, best to say nothing.. Few on this forum have an agenda as one person keeps telling me I have!

    It is as toxic on here, as it is in the club
    Totally agree, some people are so arrogant they think they have the gold standards on views, and dismiss anything that doesn't align with theirs.

    I have even had a person bring a childish spat from another thread that they got closed due to their own abuse on to here.

    Be interesting if Bowyer got the job, but i would have thought the board would have had someone tapped up before Holden's sacking. 

    In my view of course.

    Looks like Neil Lennon is the favourite for the Hibs job.

    I don’t really have an opinion on the Cowleys one way or the other but in the position the club finds itself I’m amazed that people are saying no based on style of football. There is only one priority and that’s to win promotion. Nothing else. I really don’t care how that’s achieved because if we don’t achieve that relatively soon we might not ever achieve it as the football club we know.

    On reflection I’m ready for the worst choice possible.  

    It’s the hope that kills us, if I know we’re going to have a dogs dinner of a season it prepares me for it.  What pisses me off is when everything seems to be back on track but it turns out it’s the total opposite, bring on Lee Johnson or Neil Lennon.

    If JP has a spell like Jackson did at the start, who knows, but last time I saw him on Charlton TV, I got the impression he felt he was in no way ready to be anywhere near the hot seat, so he must have moved rapidly up the coaching learning curve in the meantime to have agreed to stand in. I only hope he has some assurances about reverting to his previous role if it doesn't work out.

    Actually wouldn’t mind the Cowley brothers, they were my first choice going way back to when Bowyer left
    Same.

    Bowyer, Moore, Jones, Richardson or Cowleys and I'd be happy.

    My Pompey mates loved him at first but says their football style was so negative., and eventually wore off. But i thought they were doing a decent job. They got players to play to their total ability.

    He was on Sky last night as a presenter and was asked about the job and he was bigging the football club up. Said he would be interested.

    Wonder if Warburton fancies a slice of the action

    Mixed feelings if it is the Cowley's, I like a pragmatic manager but they did just recently fail at a similar sized club with the same aspirations as us. 

    Any manager who sorts out our defence will get my support as I just hate how soft we have been in recent seasons.

    Whoever the manager is he will be without Payne apparently gone on loan to MKD.

    Dont know why but I get vibes of Adkins with Warburton.

    Who was the Chelsea youth manager who was mentioned around the time of Beale?

    Bowyer wouldn’t be my first choice but the first few months of that championship season he had us playing some beautiful football. I’ll never forget when we played Forest at home and we tore them a new one in the first half . 
    Beggers can’t be choosers and he’s probably the best fit for our situation now . 
    Yes I still remember that first half. And won’t forget the Sarr equaliser at Loftus Rd in a hurry. Play-off final too prior to that of course, obvs. 
    I’d be a bit nervous about him getting the job again, but there are definitely far worse options. 
    Edit: just saw Cowley’s tweet. Probably not Bowyer then.

    The next Manager will be a sign of things to come. A good Manager won't come if there isn't any money to work with.

    Anthony Barry maybe? He's currently Bayern Munich and Portugal's Assistant Manager.

    Leam Richardson seems to be the only option where i haven't seen someone say they wouldn't want him.
    Can honestly say until this thread I’ve never heard of him!

    He was the reserve team Manager before getting the 1st team

    Just browsed the Garner thread. Jody Morris was the chelsea youth coach who got a mention.

    Cheers.

    I wonder if Ben Watson has considered a move into management? 

    I've missed cursing his name.

    Appleton and Cowley to be interviewed this week. I assume there will be others too.

    One hopes Scott’s savvy enough to not restrict the search to the same old names. If Appleton or the Cowley’s get the job I will be at my lowest ebb of supporting charlton

    Appleton in the Cawley piece:  I don’t need big budgets.

    Feels like we're shopping in the League One version of the Managerial merry-go-round... The bucket list of tried and failed Managers at this level.

    Would rather see how Jason Pearce does with the team, than those two

    Didn't do much wrong with the U18s last season.

    Scraping the bottom of the barrel in our managerial search. Neither of them are exciting appointments & show no ambition, but I guess that's a sign of where we are as a club these days.

    Depressing
