Ok atleast we have a manager now and for me out of the main list of contenders LB would be my choice. I think he could be entertaining if the players don’t step up their efforts. I can’t wait to see his post match interview if Kirk ever plays 😂
Coming round to the idea of Bowyer, but only if he's got that enthusiasm back after a rest - jaded Bowyer was no fun.
When he came in the first time the side has a real energy and positivity about them we could really do with now, and his workrate rubbing off on the youngsters we've got could be a good thing.
I’d be surprised if the Cowleys don’t get the job - they have been relatively successful - even at Pompey they finished well above us ! They have recent League 1 experience
Also there would be no need to pay compensation which will be a big plus for this mob
If it's Appleton, I hope he'll become a Club folk hero. The same applies to anyone who takes it actually. No names on the list of those likely to be tempted jump out as being that much more suited than others to me, but with a hastily assembled squad of relatively inexperienced L1 players, I think we need someone used to managing at that level who will be bring a trusted proven assistant with him.

Appleton like Cowley has done very well at this level and that’s what we need .. diff between the two is Appleton got a good track record with the younger players.. that might be the diff when picking between the two
Think it’s going to be Cowley … really impressed the club in his interview and has been shown round the TG and Valley ??
As would have been anyone who has been interviewed, 🤔…don’t want Cowley
I am a big admirer of the Cowleys but I don't want them getting the Charlton job. They failed for the first time as a management team at Pompey. It would seem Charlton Athletic is in a worse state than Portsmouth. If they flop at The Valley their careers will be thoroughly derailed. For their sakes I hope they are appointed at a big and stable League Two or National League club.
Mind if they do appear next week with their 'Addicks scarves above their heads I'll be following Charlton Athletic closely. You never know; Jimmy Seed, Alan Curbishley and Danny Cowley!
That Wembley defeat still hurts?
Which one?
Indeed, I was there for the 4-4 but watched the 2-1 on television. It was definitely the former that hurt the most though had we beaten you we wouldn't have had a brilliant following season. In truth both our clubs benefited from that match. The main emotion after the 2019 game was anger at Jack Ross for not taking advantage of the fifth minute gift you gave us.
It is easy to say because we won out, but on both occasions I found the Sunderland fans to be gracious.
After the latest one I was commiserating with a Sunderland fan on the tube and just before she got off the train she kissed me sweetly on the cheek. And I am an ugly bastard.
People who want Bowyer back have extremely short memories. You forget just how bad things were, lots of talk about how toxic the place was. Just go back and look at some of his post match interviews to remind yourselves.

What you mean by toxic mate?
Gribbo, it pains me to say this, but you talk out of your arse !

Make of that what you will.
Was his eyes bulging 👀
Something like ‘tell me about a time you inherited a really weak squad and difficult owners. What actions did you take and what were the outcomes?’ 😆
A win today with a decent performance & there's a good chance he gets the job IMO
And I am an ugly bastard.
