Hard to tell if people are being genuine or facetious when saying legendary managers couldn’t get a tune out this mob. Regardless of how there may be some right crap in this team, a competent manager should be able to out-compete at least 17 of the shite clubs in this division & get top 6.
Those legendary managers worked with legendary players though, what makes you think they could turn our current squad into league winners?
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.
This is probably my favourite ITK comment on this thread. That’s a proper rumour
I would say 80 precent of our fans wouldn’t have a clue who Martin Pringle is?
I named my gold fish after him at the time, so I’m clearly the 20% 😢
We had Pringle and Mendonca too! I would switch that and say 80% will know who he is!
I remember that like it was yesterday. Challinor can absolutely fuck off. Seriously.
I suppose the one useful thing he could do is help Miles Leaburn to understand how to avoid being done by thugs like him.
Why don't we go the whole thug thing and get in as his assistant the Bristol Rovers bloke in who did Grant Basey, and Kevin Muscat in as Director of In-Game GBH. Yeah. People wanted us to "get nasty", so let's not mess around.
The last manager from League 2 did great, signed plenty of players from L2 as well for us. That ended well.
Good thing it’s not the same bloke then isn’t it…
Not sure that’s the best way judge a potential incoming manager.
It was stated we were seeking a manager with a promotion from L1 on their CV, now we are interviewing Stockport L2 manager that has won promotion from non league only. Does that qualify him to know about and be up to speed on what they are going to come up against in L1. Additionally this is a club with expectations above what they have encountered coupled with being a basket case and not the proper backing. We've already seen experienced managers fall to the wayside from a dysfunctional hierarchy.
We were told start of last season that all our L2 signings would be great on here and succeed in getting us promoted, how many of them have lasted the course.
Sure there are occasionally young up and coming managers form non league or L2 that have success but the Stockport guy isn't young with fresh bright ideas.
I have given all new mangers a chance regardless, but right now if the SMT follow the Sandgaad theory of football then there is a bigger chance of failure. I think we have all had enough of punts of chance and we keep getting informed that they the SMT are serious knowledgeable football people, so to them, prove it. Get someone in with at least the appropriate track record to achieve what is required.

That bloke had worked in League One before with Bristol Rovers, it didnt work out for him there, so perhaps a warning sign at the time for our owner.
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.
This says it all.
We are told the SMT are experienced football people so why take that risk. I accept all managers regardless of CV come with a risk factor but why largen the risk odds.

I applaud 👏 Scott & Methven looking at managers with League 2 & National League experience. Its a win all round for Charlton. Excellent to have a manager experienced in League 2 & National League given the direction Methven, Scott & his pals club are sending the club in.
These L2 / unemployed managers will also be cheap to hire & fire & perfect for pinning the blame on & distracting from the Methven & Scott genius strategy - when everything goes even more pearshaped. The L2 manager will also be used to managing the meagre transfer budget & will be easily fobbed off.
Charlton supporters have the added benefit of getting used to the standard of football coming our way in future seasons, so its not too much of a shock. Throw ins should improve though. Happy days !
Methven can also get those costs down by getting the budget down to national league / league two levels. Man of his word is Charlie. Not sure 🤔 why any Charlton supporter is unhappy given Scott & Methven solid preparation for the future.

There is risk regardless of the choice in Football - We had an experienced Manager recently what with Adkins, and that didnt work either.

This is why bookies odds can't be seen as gospel, there's no chance Moore is rocking up to York in the national League where wages would be an issue.
York City fans also believe it could be true. Find it very hard to believe
They're almost rocky bloody bottom of the National League

Then again, I suppose he'll be in place for next season when we'll be trying to get OUT of League 2.
