I've been told Appleton will be accounced shortly, by someone ITK5

Be good if he was to end up Knighted in recognition of his efforts taking us back to the big timePeanutsMolloy said:
Presumably his backing team will be the Pips? And we can call him Gladys.swordfish said:I still think it will be Appleton, to be announced when his core back up team is sorted 😉
Alright. Enough already. No more from me now until we hear for sure, I promise.

Be patient please, we are nearly at the end of a thorough and exhaustive search of a pool of wonderful candidates. The correct decision here, will very much cement the reputation of the new SMT, as competant and forward looking...Redhenry said:We got a new Manager yet?
Sorry, even I cannot bullshit any further!2 -
I don’t think not having someone lined up is necessarily amateur to be honest. I’m pleased they conducted a proper process. Seems they were restricted by the quality of available candidates.0

Matt Southall had an end goal of the wilful destruction of Charlton Athletic in my opinion. He was a previous owner.swordfish said:Anyone who seriously thinks the end goal of our new owners is the wilful destruction of the Club is more deluded than they or any of our previous owners.
Incompetence, negligence, stubbornness, greed, and simple bad luck are the reasons why we are where we are. It isn't the result of some deliberate plan of destruction.
If fans believe their owners to be their enemies and only in it to see it's ruination, is it any wonder our support base is shrinking. Reputationally, we've become a hard sell to players and managers. Being fans, as ever all we can do is get behind the players, although some don't and it sounds as though others won't if xxx gets the job 🙄
So my stance is not born of delusion but bitter recent experience of Southall and others.
If the plan is not one of diminishing our lovely club then in what way is the plan to make us any better?
If Charlton are destroyed Warrick always has Peterborough, Methven always has Oxford, Rodwell and Scott can shrug and say they did their best but losing Charlton Athletic is no biggie.
For the fans we have put in time, money, effort and genuine love. We have a dog in the fight, they don’t.
On a personal level I always get behind the players, I am a long term season ticket holder, subscribe and watch all the games, watch and follow the development of players as they come through our system, I care about the players and won’t abuse them, I for one always get behind them.
What I can’t do is stay silent as this Shamocracy diminishes Charlton Athletic further.
My stance will soften if we win the next eight games in succession.3 -
You are correct to highlight that - he did indeed report it that way.Scoham said:
Richard Cawley confirmed a final shortlist was drawn up after last week’s interviews and there were second interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.valleynick66 said:
I see.ButtleJR said:
Second interviews were yesterday and Tuesday. Not sure if those two progressed to that stage. Though was told Cowley's interview went well.valleynick66 said:
ThankButtleJR said:
Was told by him he was there the same day... 30th August.valleynick66 said:
Met Cowley ? I wouldn’t recognise him in passing personally.ButtleJR said:
The club won't confirm who was interviewed. A mate of mine literally met Cowley at the valley... And Appleton was there the same day. Not been fed this by anyone senior!killerandflash said:
Not confirmed from the club though. It's all indirect information, where Cawley and the ilk are told stuff or hear stuff.ButtleJR said:
Appleton and Cowley definitely have...killerandflash said:
It's not been confirmed that anyone has applied for the role.RC_CAFC said:We’ve talked a lot over the period about Leam Richardson. (He would be my first choice)
Has it ever been confirmed or denied that he applied to the role?Did he also meet Appleton or are you saying you understand he was there the same day?
you.Surprised we have taken this long to reach a decision if ‘interview’ was last Wednesday.In my head I didn’t really envisage second round interviews as you might in the corporate world.What are you going to learn second time around in an interview where in truth most is evident on their CV and the football grapevine?
Likewise given our structure I don’t see they are going to meet someone different to nod it through.
Just seems a little strange to me - just don't see what more you learn. Maybe 'interview' is too literal & the first round was more a contact / chat to confirm interest?0 -
Whoever the new manager is RonnieMoore will be along to tell us he's the next Pep or Klopp1
-
We have to back the new manager whoever he is and give him time. That is the only fair way for us to proceed.7

The other forum are suggesting it's Appleton too. Announcement shortly.0

I could just about handle the lack of money spent and ambition shown in the owners first proper transfer window
if they now get appleton in i really am worried!!!
such a cheap uninspiring appointment🙄🤦🏻♂️He may well do ok but surely if you want success and to be ambitious you would go all out for someone proven and who would unite the fans and clubFfs why is it always so 💩 being a charlton fan2 -
I understand what you are saying but we are hardly a great proposition for any manager at the moment.CharltontillidieCOYR said:I could just about handle the lack of money spent and ambition shown in the owners first proper transfer window

Maybe something brought things to a head, and it was impossible to continue with Holden. We simply don't know the full facts.Plaaayer said:Still can’t get my head around sacking Holden without having someone else lined up, the new manager could have had 2 full weeks with the majority of the squad before the next game.Such an amateur, clownish outfit.
Amateur and clownish could certainly be applied to TS, but under the new ownership we finally have a recognised structure, with appointments at appropriate levels. It may not be going as well as hoped for, but amateur and clownish - no.0 -
Interview bingo.
Massive club
good atmosphere when i have been here as a manager in the past0 -
I don’t particularly want Appleton, but I do believe his favoured 4231 formation suits us quite well0

Proven with a squad of better players elsewhere though?CharltontillidieCOYR said:I could just about handle the lack of money spent and ambition shown in the owners first proper transfer window

How does that translate to managing this squad?0 -
Going back on my promise but felt I should respond. Southall sought to extract money from the Club motivated by greed. I don't believe his intent was to see Charlton Athletic go out of business though and so derail his gravy train. I concede his motives were the worst of them all though.seth plum said:

Just out of interest, has the name of a manager been mentioned on here who you feel can deliver the team you loyally support a run of eight winning games in a row?

The most I can say for Appleton is that I haven't seen his 'appalling football' being talked about much. Kind of don't really know what style of play he's known for. Hopefully one that wins games?0
-
Appleton coming in would show a lack of ambition in my opinion. Sort of knew that we weren't aiming for promotion with the deadline day loan scatter gun signings, but a manager with that record at this level really confirms it.6

That should be all that bothers us at the moment. A winning style whatever it is, is all that matters.0

I can't believe i got sucked into the bullshit and bought 4 seasons tickets, feel so disillusioned right now with everything associated with the club. I will of course support whoever is appointed, but I do not have a good feeling about anything relating to Charlton and Football.2
-
Appleton will do as he is told by Scott2
-
I just hope if it is Appleton the official X/Twitter account troll us with the infamous Appleton photo3
-
Also does he have a favoured right hand man/coaching team as whoever takes over needs to bring in his own team rather than rely on Pearce and Hayes who need to go back to working with the academy/u21s - we need a strong defensive and set piece coaches.1

Well I couldn’t predict what a new manager will do, so I leave the door open for them to win, not lose.swordfish said:

Of the names mentioned I would have taken a chance with Euell, Moore, Bonner, and possibly Bowyer.1 -
Suggests Holden wasn’t sacked for footballing reasons.Plaaayer said:Still can’t get my head around sacking Holden without having someone else lined up, the new manager could have had 2 full weeks with the majority of the squad before the next game.Such an amateur, clownish outfit.2 -
Appleton, so uninspiring but what can we do. We live in hopes he will be our next Curbs but I have feeling he'll be our next Adkins4

Appleton. Yet another Oxford link.0

Just hope it isn't a long contract if they're going to be paying it off in December1
