It's what folk are posting though isn't it? I agree it's typical tantrum throwing "facebook mum" look at me behaviour. If it's not my pick, at worst I shall be beside myself...... for all of five minutes 😉ProperCharlton said:

Nailed on Appleton then.grumpyaddick said:So in brief, Scott likes Scott, Cawley likes Cowley and no one wants Appleton.0 -
Probably end up with Paul Ince Lol1

Second and third stage interviews??
It's a professional football managers job!
Their CV is there for all to see?
So if..... No when he or she turns out to be shit they can say "Well. they did well in the interview".
Another f*******g nonsense.3 -
We all lived through the Karel Fraeye era so i'm sure people don't actually mean what they type.ProperCharlton said:

This club is pathetic. A cheap, uninspiring middle of the road league one manager.Covered_End_Lad said:Cowley has definitely made it to the second round of interviews.6 -
There's none of the (realistic) names mentioned so far that I have come remotely close to thinking "if its [name here] I'm done", I'd prefer a younger upcomer to one of the hoary "established" names but I can see the arguments for most suggestions so far.
The likes of Appleton, Crowley etc might not be the names to have me imagining promotion at a canter but having a bit of experience and stability is not the worst result when we started out on relegation form.

Genuinely wouldn’t have an issue with Cowley. Seems the most likely1

Cowley is a good manager at this level, people who wouldn’t take him have delusions of grandeur about us as a club15

Getting someone like Parker or Jones having managed in the PL recently would be a good coup for us0

Who got destroyed in the first round by Claude Littner?Covered_End_Lad said:Cowley has definitely made it to the second round of interviews.7 -
I can think of a lot worse choices as manager than Cowley although it certainly wouldn't inspire me.
I just find him a bit dull.7 -

Sol Campbell, he turned up with a signed, framed picture of himself with the Premier League trophy, a printout of Charlton Athletic's Wikipedia page and a copy of The Rooney Rule from the NFL as his supporting documents as to why he should get the jobkillerandflash said:

Cowley did an absolute shocking job at Pompey. I really don’t know who I want out of the likely ones it’s going to be. Just gotta crack on and get behind him 😐3

Finding the massive averse response to the Cowleys a little bit weird if I’m honest. They’re not my first choice either but some of you are acting as if the club is doomed with them.39

I think it's because their spell at Pompey, a comparable club to us, was pretty underwhelming. Not terrible, but nothing to make you want them as your manager.Callumcafc said:Finding the massive averse response to the Cowleys a little bit weird if I’m honest.

Don`t you have to find two salaries if the Cowleys are chosen? That puts it out of range to start with.2

Why does it? Holden and Senda have been let go, so there’s space in the budget for two coming in.Tunwellsaddick said:Don`t you have to find two salaries if the Cowleys are chosen? That puts it out of range to start with.1 -
Even when the club run a process just as a professional business should, they still get criticised.carly burn said:Second and third stage interviews??

Sorry but that is rubbish. It's not about him as a name. I'd actually prefer a few managers who don't even have his profile. A few of us have put our reasons why we don't want him, and if you want to argue them then go ahead by all means, but don't make up a strawman pleasePWADDICK said:Cowley is a good manager at this level, people who wouldn’t take him have delusions of grandeur about us as a club

I think the reaction is because we’ve tried all the different styles in the last 17 years:
Former favourite and legend- Powell ✔️
Hard nosed, authoritarian- Bowyer ✔️
Foreign coach- loads ✔️
Foreign non league coach- Fraeye ✔️
Progressive up and coming manager- Garner ✔️
No dickheads nice guy northerner- Holden ✔️
Guess it’s time we went for vanilla, bland, lower league bloke with connection to Greenwich.
I really think we could expect to push the boat out fo Jones though. This idea that he’s unreachable is odd.

I wonder if Ryan Giggs might return to management again ?5
-
A lot of moaning on this thread.
Let's just wait and see who gets the job and get behind him.
Whoever it is it won't please everyone, but as we are now firmly established in league one we are hardly going to attract the best are we.14 -
It may be me but, his head looks like it's a size too big for his body, and stuck on as an afterthoughtcafcfan said:Right, Scott Parker. If he comes, I go. It will be my last season. It's not even that I hate him, although I do.
It's because he's just a little bit thick. He lacks every skill set a decent manager needs. Inspirational qualities; tactical nous; luck; man management skills; leadership; and coaching skills. He has none of these in my opinion and have I mentioned that he is a dullard?
In addition, with his choice of cardigans, it would be impossible for any player to look at him and not laugh rather than take him seriously.
