I'm ok with Challinor. We need a manager and pretty sharpish.
However, no manager, without significant improvement in our squad, is not going to do better than mid table mediocrity this season.
The squad isn't good enough to get promoted.
If we bring in 3/4 plus when Fraser , Camara and Leaburn are fit our squad should definitely be strong enough for top 6 . Just need few good signings .
Think people miss the point with squad building.
Yes with Fraser, Camara and Leaburn back our first-11 may be good enough to get top 6.
Our 25-man squad? Miles off. As you can see right now, with a few injuries our team always falls apart. Happens every season.
"DC has lots of credit in the bank with County fans due to him having played for us, the fact he has come up from lower leagues and of course got us into EFL. He likes a high pressing style. It's hard to fault anything he has done at Edgeley Park as every season we have moved forward. We haven't started well so there is a little more pressure building.
In a weird way he is untested at EFL level - the only criticism last season was a poor start (again replicated this season ) but from here he delivered stats that were better than any other team. At times we struggled to break down teams who simply sat back and it felt we lacked a plan B. We lacked a creative player but with Louie Barry we hope we have addressed this
I think most County fans would be very sad to see him go. I'm not sure he would uproot to go to Charlton particularly as there is so much ambition and resource at County, but you never know!
Is this what we have come too ? No disrespect to any of the teams or their fans but interviewing managers at Stockport & Northampton is not my idea of success.
SE7 Partners have been in charge for 6 weeks & things are starting to unravel already.
Utter shambles.
I disagree. These are exactly the type of up and coming managers we should be looking at.
Fresh ideas, know the !ower leagues scouting for bargains and a defined system of play.
Far better than reverting back to Bowyer, Powell etc. Happy for Atherton too tbh
Michael Atherton might actually do a better job than Challinor or Brady.
My only issue with Challinor is that at the clubs he's been at, Fylde and Stockport in particular, he's always had good budgets to work with for the level he's been at.
He was well backed at Fylde to get them up the leagues, and certainly Stockport had a huge budget for the National league and even in league 2 it is better than most. I remember in the National league they signed Sarcevic who was captain of Bolton in league one.
So the question is how would he fare at a club where he isn't going to be given a huge budget.
I'm pretty sure our wages paid are still one of the highest in this league, we have just spent really badly in the past few seasons
Scott & Rodwell are having a multi tasking mare. Latest I've heard is Tedic has signed a 3 year contract as manager with Dabo his assistant. Challinor has signed a 1 year deal to play centre half.

Was idly thinking that making Chuks our manager would kill a couple of birds with one flamethrower
It really isn't an exact science when you appoint a manager to get you promoted: Or in JJ case be successful in taking the "worse Charlton squad in living memory" from 22nd to 13th.
Powell - Assistant at Leicester and ex player who thankfully knew a maverick French man. Bowyer- Fisherman and ex player who became an assistant to Robinson. Curbishley- ex player who became a joint manager with Gritt until Murray decided on Alan.
Three inexperienced managers given their first job but very experienced in playing football at a high level. Especially Chris and Lee with Alan a tad behind.
I will back who ever is chosen by Andy Scott and the Gerry Adams lookalike.

Good job we’ve got the poor start out of the way for him then
Asked my mate about challinor and this is what I got… Can’t say it sounds too exciting and the general consensus I have seen from Stockport fans is he is struggling this year.
This is gonna be the worst potential ITK post of all time but fuck it.
Darren Moore just gave a talk at my job. Whilst saying goodbye to people Moore stated he is staying in London overnight and the host wished him luck for tomorrow.
No idea what he's doing tomorrow but hopefully he's interviewing to be our manager.
To back this up further,
I was at Asda Charlton today and I thought I saw Moore so I shouted 'Moore?!'
He spun round and looked at me so I said 'Up the Reds?'
He gave me a cheeky mischievous look and said 'WIOTOS fella' got his trolly and winked at me before heading into Asda.

We are 19th
Do I need to answer that?
First 11 - we MAY compete with them. Squadwise we aren't better than Oxford. No. We over value our squad sadly. It isn't all that.
When everybody / IF everybody is fit, then yes, we are decent.
Hardly ever happens though, does it.
Challinor is also a risk, but this time because he's unproven at this level.
However he's won promotion at all his clubs, so hope we dont buck the trend.

Dave said any other position as well as they don't give change.
