I think its more likely to say he wants the bullet. My view is he's got a tough job since the forward line got injured but has made a poor fist of it and is wed to a shit system that only really suits 1 of our players - and he's playing for himself and will be off.Garrymanilow said:There's lots of debate about whether a manager is or isn't justified in giving it back when he gets abuse, but none of that actually matters. Whether or not he has the 'right' to do it it's only going to end badly. You're not going to win out because you behaved just as badly as the fans who took it too far and in the end you'll lose them and that just increases the pressure on you. The main takeaway I have from this with that in mind is that Appleton is just a bit thick, which isn't a great trait for a manager.0 -
Hasnt Alfie may got most of his goals out right or playing the 10 role? Im sure when everyone is back and fit we will see Alfie up top with a partner.Yes tactically he hasnt made the best decisions but the players who have come in havnt given him a headache for selection.
As for Oxford having players out then surely their fringe players are far far better than ours who want it more than ours.We all have our views and yes its not a good place to be at the moment but lets see how it goes in the transfer window then judge him then.
I still think the players have let us down.1 -
Nice to have you with us Micheal.13

Bet he’s gutted he wasn’t here 8 years ago. Him, Roland, Katrien and Keohane could have formed the ultimate fan-hating dream team of them against the world.36

I don't need to like the manager either, I don't suppose anyone does, but I'd like to like the manager. In fact, one of the happiest times I've had as a Charlton fan was when we had the most likeable manager in the league and broke our points record. I don't just think that's coincidence. By being generally positive and loving both the game and the club, Chris Powell was able to inspire fans and players alike. In contrast, Appleton has made his own job all the more difficult by coming across as surly, miserable and disinterested. If he can't inspire the fans to cut him some slack, how can he inspire players who are bound to be doubting themselves to turn this thing around. I'm not convinced he can. And for this I agree with you: Get him the feck gone.KBslittlesis said:I don’t need to like our manager.
I just want one who seems to know what he’s doing & actually look like he gives a shit.
He doesn’t do either of those things imho.
Get him the feck gone.16 -
Id forgotten abt this, but I was at this game. We were shocking and Bow decided to dig out the 2k there for not making an atmosphere and inspiring the team lolUEAAddick said:RodneyCharltonTrotta said:I don't have a problem with it if he did....if fans give it we have to accept it when players/ managers give it back.
I imagine if I was failing at work and getting told how bad i was etc I'd react. I quite like it when people give it back in this uber sanistised sterile football environment that we edge ever closer too.
Still think he's a poor manager but have the camel with him over his subs and results rather than a bit of pantomime stuff giving it back to fans who've given it to
Bowyer did it one of first games back with fans in after lockdown when we lost to MK Dons and complained about the atmosphere after a terrible performance. It was a terrible time to do it, because of when it happened just after lockdown when fans were just happy to be in the ground again and because of the result. As a result a lot of fans began to question him, when at the time he was fully supported by the vast majority.
It just never really works taking it out on your own fans. Just in same way that if you work in a service industry, slagging off customers or heavily arguing with them, is just something you can't do rightly or wrongly.
The only people who can slightly get away with it are the likes of guardiola etc, because they are winning every week pretty much, so people turn a blind eye. When you're on a terrible run in the 3rd tier, it makes you look like you're looking for excuses and someone else to blame.0 -
Those exact same players (minus Aneke) were coming from behind and scoring late goals instead of conceding them earlier this season, under the same manager even.greenwichred68 said:Hasnt Alfie may got most of his goals out right or playing the 10 role?

So for them to have reverted to the current spineless milquetoast bunch of current means that something has changed for the worse behind the scenes and that has to be on the manager to answer for.
I don't disagree that the players have let us down. It's just not ONLY the players letting us down.1 -

He'll be wearing this on the touchline next.0 -
How do you explain this then?swordfish said:Why is it acceptable to describe him as a fraud? Fraudulent activity usually involves some element of criminal deception. If he is adhering to the terms of his agreed contract with the Club, he is not guilty of that.
Under performing arguably, but I don't believe he's doing that deliberately anyway and it's a separate argument to say we're not not getting value for money out of him.
Why can't posters just leave it at saying he's not up to the job, which is increasingly where I'm at, rather than trying to demonise him and make him out to be someone intentionally ripping off the Club.

Sounds both disgusting and yet more intriguing than what's going on the pitch at the same time.KBslittlesis said:

No way he gets sacked in January. Think it will be around March when it is clear he can’t get the best out of the new signings.0

IF???CafcCrazy said:If we lose to Port vale on Saturday, I think that will be the final nail for him. Surely ?1 -
I bet he's enquired if they can resurrect the sofa, for him to sit on in his technical area, and maybe a wide screen TV to watch Crown Green Bowling during our games.AFKABartram said:Bet he’s gutted he wasn’t here 8 years ago.

Has there been any pictures or videos of him doing this ear cup ? I suppose there wouldn’t have been many people left in the ground to be fair .0
-
I think there would've been photographic evidence by now if it happened5
-
It definitely happened witnessed by myself but I’m not someone who constantly has my phone out photographing everything.1

Maybe he got confused with the Toasting Of The Loving Cup tradition in the boardroom 😆

If they're prepared to put up with his incompetence and not jog him on, then we can only prepare for 2024 to be even worse than last year.
The question is, how bad does it have to get before they decide enough is enough?
I'm sure we're all looking forward to finding out. Yay.3 -

I've just realised it's genuine and I'm crying with laughter!!
What a sad gormless f**k!

Tattoos mean nothing. It's just body art. They do not affect who a person is.
I have known very successful business professionals with sleeves and some of the worst people I have ever met have had no tattoos.6 -
Yeah nothing wrong with the tattoos. The issue is the fact he's bought his polo shirt in a kids sizeDazzler21 said:Tattoos mean nothing. It's just body art. They do not affect who a person is.

His tattoos are dramatic, maybe as compensation for his mimsy impuissant voice.3

This thread displaying the worst about humans and football fans.10

he'll be here for the rest of the season i m o unless we REALLY nosedive into the mire at the very bottom .. the owners won't want to risk rocking the boast too much too early as well as having to pay compensation to a man who is pretty much a serial failure, the manager they appointed.Swisdom said:Appleton has lost the fans. It started a few weeks ago when he was arguing with them and it’s just getting worse. Incredibly hard to see him winning the fans back over.
I'm hoping the owners are using this season as a benchmark to gauge how low we have got and what will be needed money wise to address our demise .. thing is it's the hope that kills yer .. hope I'm still alive to see our phoenix like rise up the Leagues

Has Appletonmania led to the half season tickets selling out?6
