It’s something fans have done very unjustly(IMHO), for years…….especially here on CL.
We have gone through dozens of managers who were never given the opportunity to succeed and until we have a board of directors who are prepared to put their hands in their pockets in a realistic fashion, this never ceasing scenario will continue.Only time will tell if they can be reasoned with and persuaded to see sense this time round.
I have thought this for many a year, just like those of us who can clearly see the woods for the trees. ☹️

possibly the 4th choice!1 -
Whilst Signing JCH is potentially an excellent bit of business, all the while we have the Poundland Vin Diesel as our manager it won’t make a jot of difference8

Scoham said:
Really hope we get him, but can't understand why anyone would choose us over Wrexham currently.11 -
Signing JCH feels like when we signed Fraser, exciting signing but feels pretty pointless in the here & now0
-
We’ve literally had people saying go and spend the money and sign JCH all season and now we’ve offered the money and there is a possibility he’s coming, it’s a pointless signing of a player who’s over the hill and out to do us. We are a very broken set of fans.29

We will have to disagree on that, no team can do without three first choice strikers, he's also not responsible for the weakness in the midfield as all the players were here before he joined the club. I am not declaring him to be a great or even good manager but I don't see how you can judge him within the current situation that prevails at the club.Addick_8 said:

No. Please get rid of Appleton. He is useless and his post match assessments are nothing short of delusional/embarrassing.Every one knows we lack a bit in terms of players, but my god we are going backwards with him as manager. He should be doing better with the players at his disposal. Most of us don't need any more time to judge him. Guilty of impersonating a managerBailey said:

Have to disagree. A huge reason we’re not keeping clean sheets is our complete inability to hold the ball upfront and alleviate pressure. While our whole team needs work. JCH can definitely improve this.jondon76 said:18 -

The only thing I’ve learnt about football since post Covid is that whenever Charlton don’t have a proper centre forward we have struggled big time. Jackson bad run was purely because Stockley was injured. Playing Bonne last season, Aneke/Leaburn this season.RC_CAFC said:

Luke Armstrong would walk into that team today and probably Port Vales as well, if they had him we would have been bang in trouble as they missed an aerial threat.FishCostaFortune said:
Well quiet.NabySarr said:
So have we? Have you seen our midfield for the last month?Braziliance said:
No. For starters, it's relevant to each clubs situation. They've signed players that will probably improve them, I can tell you right now that Armstrong would walk into our side at present and I really mean walk. So for context, a side sitting in 24th has signed a player that that's better than anything we will stick up top today (assuming May is injured)FishCostaFortune said:
Braziliance yesterday you claimed that Carlisle owners are an example of those that ‘give a shit and have ‘clearly been planning for the window opening’ based on them making 3 signings on the 4th.Braziliance said:to those that think people are hysterical for wondering why we haven't signed anyone yet and are concerned we could be in for a bad window, here's what it looks like to be a club who give a shit and want to at least try and turn it around:
Clearly they've been planning for the window opening as Doucher has said you can do, we can't afford to scramble around. If we have played Port Vale and Peterborough without any new faces in, its a bit of a liberty and means there's been no actual plans in place or strategy.
One day later we have now made 2 signings, which is actually 20% of all activity in league one so far this window.Would you now say that our owners ‘give a shit’ and have ‘clearly been planning for the window’?
Or would you say that your comment was not well thought out, and that your current mistrust of the ownership led you to make a baseless assumption?
You want me to get the party poppers out over a pair of low risk loans with no real track record?
I'm just not a happy clapper, I will credit this mob when they show some ambition, until we sign a proper player for money like JCH I'll call it how it is.
If people are happy with these tosh signings more power to them
Edit; planning for the window, are you purposely trying to wind me up with this post? 😂 They're 6 month loans where neither are guaranteed to be here next season. It's the complete opposite of a planning for next season and all the talk of experience and quality is already out of the windowLuke Armstrong, who would walk into our team, has only managed 90 minutes 5 times this season.You have to at least be consistent in the arguments you are trying to make.Saying a team, you know little about, are an example of owners who care and have a plan - because they signed 3 players you know little about on the 4th January - is not a good argument in my opinion and is clearly just a poorly thought out angle to fit your current view point.
The main reason Armstrong wasn't playing for Harrogate, is probably similar to JCH in they knew he was going to leave and was trying to keep him injury free/plan without him. Can assure you Armstrong is one of the better forwards in League 2 and why he had money bags Wrexham pursuing him. Could be a coup for Carlisle as he could help them in their relegation fight or they go down and have a ready made top league 2 striker.
Consistent in what way? This isn't an argument, I think our owners are full of it mostly and I speak openly about it. Unless you want an argument?
Apologies genuinely not following there as I don't actually challenge posters on here really, just call the players, owners and manager shit every other day and posters like to hop on the posts. There's no arguing from me cause I can't be convinced about these owners until I see us progress as a club.
Anyway JCH is a cracking signing if it happens, those are the signings I expect based on their words4 -
He is very good too. But we don't seem to scout much further than Scott's contact list on his phone.Callumcafc said:Here’s my fan scouting done for the week:
Jacob Farrell, LB/LCB, Central Coast Mariners, age 21
One of the brightest young talents in Australian football currently. He spoke to the press only a few days ago saying he had aspirations of playing overseas so isn’t against making a move to Europe either.Having an Aussie already in the camp could be an advantage for us. Linked with Viking FC in the Norwegian press, they think he’d cost £300-400k in transfer fee.2 -

the guy has had two good years in the football league. Good years, not even very good years.
kanu has as many career league 1 goals and is 8 years younger.
