Any plans to help Ronnie Moore are totally misguided. He is an effing idiot who deliberately posts controversial views. He has openly posted on ITTV forum that he comes on here to wind people up. Ignore.
If true then I’d be reaching for the mute button if there was one.
There is nobody else out there that appeals to me.
Let’s stick with Pearce.
Where did you hear about Moore turning us down? Wouldn’t be surprised but I’ve not heard that anywhere. He declined to comment on the job to Cawley apparently.
I move in football related circles but that doesn’t put me ITK on all subjects.
I’m a Darren Moore fan, but my info is that it’s not happening.
However, money talks and people change their mind.
Similar with Challenor, I’m told it’s about moving here. We will see.
On a positive note: you can’t beat an ex-Charlton player as our manager.
Do we know for sure that Chris Powell turned the role down “because of the plan”. Where’s that bit come from ? I’d have thought it more likely he wasn’t interested because he’s already got the tee shirt and probably after his associations with England and Spurs can have some very attractive coaching options without the hassle of tin pot club management.
I'd think there are more than a few Charlton people with a direct line to Powell
You have to believe in the plan for sure but Chris Powell is in a far more stable job than was being offered, pretty good chance he would be number 18 in 18 and looking for work again.
Is he in current employment?
I thought he was still involved in the England coaching staff Shooters, I could be wrong though.
Powell has definitely left the England coaching staff. He was replaced by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink a few months ago.
We're told Powell has declined an offer though. That's no critisism of him, but as he won't be our next manager, who will be is the question.
We need a no nonsense dynamic man motivator with bags of experience in L1 who will inspire the team to over achieve. We need a man for all seasons and not just part of one, someone who, at the very mention of their name, will have fans reaching for their wallets and purses desperate to make sure they don't miss out on our reemergence in the upper echelons of the league as he steers us on a one way journey back to fame and glory.
Can someone, anyone, seriously tell me that that man doesn't go by the name of Michael Appleton?
Not sure why everyone seems to think Ronnie Moore only comes on here to wind people up. He posts the same nonsense over on the 'other' forum, so unless he's that bored he's trying to wind people up across two sites then i'd say it's more likely he's just deluded.
His most recent post - "big club , great potential.. new owners with money … this club only going one way".
In fairness though, he didn't actually clarify which way.
Ronnie pass the bucket Moore is 70 years old and Eastleigh will be his first manager's job for 7 years. He only ever works "grim up North" so by coming down to Hants he can meet up with his fellow Merseysider Nigel Adkins and go on lovely walks in the countryside.
Ronnie Moore as an Ex Charlton player is hoping to be on the shortlist next season (autumn) when Charlton are looking for a new manager again 🙄
Transfer window closed. Technical Director now freed up to get the new manager. No doubt there is a short list and everyone on it contacted and initial discussions already started. No doubt we’ve already been turned down by some. Others will be very keen. I think we’ll hear something by Friday although if the man is already in employment it might take longer to conclude.
Bowyer , Powell , Appleton in that order for me but would like Pearce to be involved at first team level with all of them. and maybe Steve Brown as a coach - his defensive insights on Charlton TV are spot on and think he would be a great defensive coach.
We really need to be making an appointment by tomorrow latest. We're quite fortunate that we have no game next weekend, so that gives the new manager time to work on things before a trip to Stevenage who could well be top of the table by then.
Yes things have got that bad whereby we'd probably be quite happy to take a point from Stevenage. I can remember seeing them play at Welling in the 90s.
My main concern/question is just how much our new manager will be free to actually manage. Andy Scott is doing a lot of the signing/transfer work which is okay and perhaps expected as DoF.
But hopefully that won't turn into RD style dictating of who plays and what formation etc

I think that’s why we might look for more of a coaching style manager, especially with the young players we’ve got. Appleton fits that but I’m still hopeful we can get someone more exciting or with a better record
I'm not making any wider point but Powell was offered the interim post, which is what Pearce is doing, not the manager's post. That is what he declined.

Sounds like an R.D. Laing knot.

Wonder if he'd be interested in a move to 16th in league one.
