Michael Appleton - Sacked 23/1/2024 (p105)

meldrew66

Well, we are where we are now and all need to just get behind him and the boys. Recent history has shown that the fans have very limited power or ability to influence board decisions. For me, his experience trumps all of the other suggested alternatives so it’s probably the most sensible option…….albeit not an inspiring one. COYR!

U just couldn't make this sh!t up, been a running joke on here for years, now it's happened ffs!

The way we get through managers it was only a matter of time

Safety first appointment. We won't go down but I wouldn't put lots of money on going up either. 

It is what it is.

Very uninspiring, but I get the sense that a young up and coming manager wouldn’t get the support or time to do anything anyway so not sure we’d get a better outcome.

I hope Appleton is a success, but it’s Hope over expectation.

When they say ‘we’ who do they mean?

Who do you think they mean?

He was always going to be manager at some point. Might as well get it out of the way.

Interviewer. ‘So Michael, what are you looking to achieve here in the future?’
Michael. ‘I want to avoid relegation’.

Can’t wait for Ronnie Moore to come on saying what a good appointment it is. I’d would have sooner of had the real Ronnie Moore as manager.

What are the chances of the fanbase being patient if there isn’t an immediate manager bounce?
Whether we like the appointment or not, I think we should try to give him a chance. I’m putting the pitchfork back in the shed.

At a guess I think they mean Charlie Methven.

First game in charge will be at Stevenage.
Win it then.

Plum, did you know he was educated at public school, voted brexit, and loves his steak served rare? 

I think that's why Methven chose him.

I think you should post this on the politics section.

Didn't you get that shut down?

Valiantphil

Good luck to him. 

He was a cheap option I guess.

Really hope this works out, admittedly wouldn't have been my choice but hopefully he can get results improving and move us up this damm league.

Smithy

I would love to see how far he was down the list and how many others turned us down first. My prediction is May next year we'll be looking for a new manager

Ask the moderators.

Bang average league one manager for a bang average league one club.

Thoroughly depressing but it is what it is.

I shall give him and the team my full support and wish him well.

But it's still depressing. 

AFKABartram

Well that one come out of nowhere…

carly burn

A statement of intent from the new regime.

I think we all know where this is heading.

MrBurns

He's got experience of League 2 which is handy because that's where this club is heading

It isn’t all bad if we win, there lies something to hope for.

 I don't think the pitchforks will necessarily be aimed at the apple man, but more the SMT. A simple hello from them all would of been nice. 

superclive98

Just when I thought that my interest in Charlton couldn't drop any lower they come up with a truly uninspiring appointment like this.

SouthLincsAddick

What else would we expect from break-even Charlie!

BigRedEvil

Until we get some ownership willing to spend the money required to get us promoted then we'll be stuck with this merry go round of out of work managers and flounder amongst mid table L1 sides.

CAFCOlly

Not really much to say other than uninspiring and boring.

Really hope it works out but not felt as flat after a managerial appointment for a long time.

SporadicAddick

I'm not telling him to his face that he's shit
