  • Bowyer , Powell , Appleton in that order for me but would like Pearce to be involved at first team level with all of them. and maybe Steve Brown as a coach - his defensive insights on Charlton TV are spot on and think he would be a great defensive coach. 
  • We really need to be making an appointment by tomorrow latest. We're quite fortunate that we have no game next weekend, so that gives the new manager time to work on things before a trip to Stevenage who could well be top of the table by then.

    Yes things have got that bad whereby we'd probably be quite happy to take a point from Stevenage. I can remember seeing them play at Welling in the 90s.

    Stevenage is a must win.
  • I don’t see the new man in the dugout at Stevenage. Hopefully in the stands watching. Pearce in the hot seat for the last time I hope.
  • I think it'll be Mark Warburton, not a rumour but just a feeling.
  • Robinson?
  • The next manager will be the one who does as he is told by Scott.

    Scott who? 🤔 😉

    My main concern/question is just how much our new manager will be free to actually manage. Andy Scott is doing a lot of the signing/transfer work which is okay and perhaps expected as DoF.

    But hopefully that won't turn into RD style dictating of who plays and what formation etc

    I think that’s why we might look for more of a coaching style manager, especially with the young players we’ve got. Appleton fits that but I’m still hopeful we can get someone more exciting or with a better record

    If we still don't have a new manager in 12 days time then we really are a joke.

    If we got Parker in Methven could always say it's all Scott's fault...

    I'm not making any wider point but Powell was offered the interim post, which is what Pearce is doing, not the manager's post. That is what he declined.

    The next manager will need to have a good working relationship with Andy Scott.  

    Leam Richardson spent a long time as a number 2 but should be on the shortlist as he had his moments when the main man when calling the shots.

    A lot going on at Wigan with their Rollercoaster of money and no money so as usual politics gets in the way of coaching and management.

    Leam Richardson: discuss as an option for Cafc.
    @swordfish as you mentioned his name the other day 🤔

    I know he was one of the names to look out for two years ago for managers under 45.
    Leam Richardson is now 43.

    With our record there’s a strong argument for this structure rather than allowing managers full control of signings. Otherwise each manager has the excuse they need to get their own players and the cycle of a big rebuild each summer continues.

    Boy does this thread need a rumour 
    Two days ago on another forum someone said they heard it’s between Nathan Jones and Michael Appleton. Source was someone who works for the club.

    You get so much false information when somebody hears from somebody who hears from somebody else though. It is different when it is coming directly from the club as in the case of Dubai and Reams.

  • Robinson?
    Robinson Crusoe?

    Possibly the only person on the planet who hint heard what a basket-case of a club we've become and probably still remembers us as a big club in the big league.

    Don't want any of those. Mark Bonner pls. Said this before Holden was sacked. Need a fresh approach and has already achieved a promotion in his career.

    Certainly served his time as an apprentice under the, seldom mention here, Paul Cook.

    Didn't work out for Cook at Ipswich and Richardson got Wigan up. The pair of them I'd take over some of the others allegedly in the frame, but as Cook is currently in work, we'd have to approach Chesterfield, which hasn't been reported anywhere, so seems unlikely to happen.

    Richardson on his own I've reservations about, but hard to explain why, just instinct, no credible argument against him.

    Tbh, no one on the "likely" list leaps out to me as a stand out candidate, but someone's going to have it all to prove. Whoever it is, I'll wish them good luck.

    Bloody amateurs.

    Katrien would have interviewed every living possible manager by tea-time last Tuesday, appointed the new chap on Wednesday morning and still found time to rebuff @Cobbles by Wednesday lunchtime.

    This week would be spent looking for the replacement for the manager they'd have already sacked on Sunday ...
  • Interesting that Cawley has said Manager/Head Coach.

    I like the idea of a group of people waiting nervously in the holding pen to find out which one of them got the job. Like a proper interview normal people tend to experience.
    I get the feeling that in football it’s all nods and winks, cabbages and kings and blind horses.
    You can bet whoever is appointed will be presented as the person we have been after since Port Vale or whenever, when I suspect the reality from the Shamocracy is relief getting somebody, anybody, in.
    I would rather have Jason Pearce than some kind of desperate box being ticked.

    Can’t see it being Nathan Jones but I’d welcome that one. Preferably someone with a CAFC connection. Darren Moore if not. Again I think both of those would look at a Championship gig. Bracing myself for Appleton or Cowley however

    Richardson would be my pick
