Sometimes you have to get a job, even if it is shit.
That's our talent pool.
If any of the applicants came out with that answer when asked why they want the job, I hope they were asked how soon they could start.
"Why do you want this post?" (Thinks) "Because I need to eat". (Says) "It is an opportunity to join an exciting project that I really want to be part of."
On the positive side I'm convinced Appleton or Cowley will be a big upgrade on Holden. Whether they will be good enough to get us in the top 6 from a standing start remains to be seen but I'll give them a chance.
I will also add that I really hope whoever gets the job has the opportunity to bring in their own coaching team as otherwise we will continue to see the elements of an amateurly coached team that has led us to where we are.

imperative that they be allowed to bring in a trusted right hand man.

We got rid of the coaches except our set piece "expert" Anthony Hayes when we fired Holden so I assume the new Head Coach will at least get a say in it......
Appleton is up there with how I felt about Russel Slade coming in. Vanilla.
Add Adkins to that list
Dunno...Adkins made some good videos...😉
Especially sunny morning walkabout videos, "The sun is shining, the birds are singing and yet again, Charlton are losing ..... and it's a lovely sunny day!"
The fact that this man, who was a meme on this site before memes were even a thing is actually going to be our next manager sums up how fucking horrific it is. Piss poor

This is heartbreakingly accurate. Our descent continues 😢

I dunno. He's took on some hard gigs. Probably even sells himself at interview as someone who can handle/'thrive in' crisis situations.
There was one place where he seemed to hold on too long and earned the meme status- maybe went too far and maybe even tacitly countenanced or defended the owners, possibly Blackpool?
Regardless of his past reputation, he's a professional in his field and deserves respect for that and a chance to show what he's got, in my humble opinion.
Appleton has recently been doing commentary work for BBC radio Leicester. Here are his views and insights on Leicester's recent win at Huddersfield- first 17 minutes;
Either Cowley or Appleton will mark the completion of our transition from one of the bigger League One clubs to an established mid table one. That's why they are depressing appointments.
Both of them would be metaphorically holding a mirror to our face of how far we've sunk.

and Dean Holden and Ben Garner didn’t? Don’t get me wrong I would prefer someone more exciting but I’d say Holden and Garner also showed that we weren’t fishing in the same pond as those at the top of L1

I must’ve missed the announcement…
Spot on this. Why sack Holden and get him. We really are a shit house of a club currently. A laughing stock.
Not that the markets are a hugely reliable indicator but they’re accepting bids on Appleton again, more than anything probably just shows they know f all!

I can't disagree either in retrospect, but Garner had the potential as a young manager with new ideas on the up, and Holden felt like a bit of an undiscovered old school find.
Cowley and Appleton have enough of a track record to know exactly what their level is.
Think I'd've preferred to see how Holden done with the new signings and players back from injury, then have a punt on some of these names being banded about.

Or Adkins and Jackson really, to be honest.
And who are the big fish managers in L1 anyway? Most of the names are only regarded because of the job they're doing at the moment, not because of their history.

No-one at Charlton gets past the first round of anything ...

You'd hope!
I agree, Appleton would be boring.

He lacks some charisma but thats ok right?

Ever the optimist though
