I reckon it'll be someone with a league one promotion on their record personally. They won't risk what happened with the last 2 imo.
Virtually all are in good jobs that have that on their cv from recent years. Realistically it will be very difficult to persuade any of them to buy into our current situation.
It can't be so hard to get players to play out the last 5 minutes and injury time in a tactical way. Any manager should be able to do that at least. I can't believe we are here again.

Bowyer done it so well. The season we went up he made sure we were the fittest team in the league and able to play more than the 90. Why we won so many points in the last few minutes that season and probably the play off final!
Duff had great success at Cheltenham and did well with Barnsley.
When his teams came to the Valley they were very well drilled and organised which is why I want him.
Flopped at Swansea but even Fergie got sacked once.
Relatively young and is available.

Rowett is a former Charlton captain, did well at Birmingham until unfairly sacked and then did a good job with the Scottish club.
Doesn't play "exciting" football but I'll take winning over any fancy style of losing.
Won a promotion and took his last side to their highest finish in years. Currently between jobs. Knows Curbs and Brownie so could get their views, not just Scott and Rodwell's. Supposedly wanted to move back up north but not sure how true that is.
---------
Nathan Jones was a success as our U21 coach and did very well for Luton but had bad spells at Stoke and Southampton. A high risk option and has had made strange comments in the media.
------------
Nigel Pearson would be a "safe pair of hands". Very experienced with some successes but also failures, most recently at Bristol City where Jason Euell was his coach. Also worked with Curtis Fleming. Had a recent illness so probably not one for now.
----------
Graham Potter or Steve Cooper..oh come on, be serious.
-------------
Chris Powell, club legend and was said to have agreed to come in to help Holden but then turned down an interim role when Dean was sacked. Now a number two at Sheffield Wednesday but might fancy coming back to London.
--------------
Jason Pearce was the last interim and might be again, maybe to the end of the season. Definitely wants to be a manager but doesn't seem in a rush having seen others crash and burn having taken jobs too early.
---------------
Curtis Fleming is a very experienced coach but has no management experience outside a year in India but would be in pole position for caretaker being a Scott, rather than Appleton, appointment.
--------------
John Eustace took over from Lee Bowyer at Birmingham and did well with them, keeping them up and getting them to the fringes of the play-offs, albeit very early in the season. Reputation has probably been boosted by being unfairly sacked so the owners could have a "big name" manager in Wayne Rooney. Has done his time as assistant as QPR among others so maybe not be adverse to working in the capital.
----------
Lee Bowyer proved he could build a promotion side at Charlton and he was very good at changing things during games when required. Seen as a motivator but also as a harsh, critical "old school" type manager that perhaps doesn't go down well with a new generation of players.

Mark Bonner did fairly well at Cambridge on a tight budget, young coach, out of work. Similar track record to Duff at Cheltenham in league 1. Got a tune out of McGrandles and Jones. (shamelessly stolen from Brazilance)

I wouldn't be ecstatic if he landed the job, but he speaks well. I get the feeling he could be the type of manager to unite a fan base and unlike Holden, I think he's a bit more savvy as a manager. As much as people are suggesting Duff (who I'd also like) he only finish 2 points behind him in the league 2 20/21 season. In that season Cambridge were the highest scorers in league 2.
The following season his Cambridge side managed to finish above Duffs Cheltenham and only 1 point behind us with a tighter budget.
Again it wouldn't inspire many but I reckon he would be a better option than Appleton.
He had a pretty decent start to the season, earned a long contract and then it all went a bit wrong. Surprised he hasn't landed a job elsewhere already
Run out of managers. We have to start again at the beginning, Nigel Adkins. Then poach JJ at the start of next season, then Ben Garner..... oh good sorry typo oh god.
Rowett for me has proved he can organise and get more than the sum of the parts out of a squad. Got criticised for negative football but got within one bizarre result of a playoff lottery of getting Millwall into the Premier League. Millwall although well run probably had one of the lowest budgets in The Championship. He had them competing with the top teams and of course got them promoted out of our league. Charltons only priority is to get out of League One. I’d take some boring 1 - 0 wins over what we’ve had in a heartbeat.
Yes to Rowett, boring 1-0 nils well if you have to

Michael Appleton...
