Where's this rumour started? Baffling, they have let him bring some of his players in and then sack him after one game. It doesn't make sense.6

Other than maybe Fiorini, I don't think they are his players. I am sure he has had an input, but I think they are mainly Scott's players.Redhenry said:Where's this rumour started? Baffling, they have let him bring some of his players in and then sack him after one game. It doesn't make sense.8 -
Any idea what time the press conference is today?0

steve cooper, seen it all 🤣🤣14

The results are appalling and depressing to the point I don’t feel like going tomorrow (and anyway my boiler has broken down and my water turned off!). I never feel this way ahead of a match.If Appleton is sacked I will make the game, but with other stuff to deal with it is easy to give it a miss.6

What about Ted Lasso or the wonderkid?Not sure it matters, I’m positive we are cursed…0

Seth can I come round and watch your boiler tomorrow, be more entertaining than going to the Valley.seth plum said:The results are appalling and depressing to the point I don’t feel like going tomorrow (and anyway my boiler has broken down and my water turned off!).

More chance of us appointing Tommy Cooper than Steve0

I liked Holden as I like Powell. That is a way, not the only way, but they are the sort of managers I can imagine players running through brick walls for.
It is my wife's birthday and I bought tickets to the theatre and am taking her for a meal out and drinks in London before. I didn't realise we would be playing. I should have, but I am not too sorry to miss it if Appleton is still there. I think he should be at last chance saloon rather than be sacked this minute, but I don't think there should be any leeway left. However, I can see I am in a minority and it could turn pretty ugly which isn't going to be nice to watch. I hope not.
If I buy the stream, is it possible to watch it back later? You see, always thinking on the off chance we put in a performance even though it so rarely happens!0 -
There are a few posters on here that hear things because of their contacts within the club. @Swisom and @DubaiCAFC being a prime examples. I don’t think we’ve had any hint of confirmation or otherwise from our itk group. They could of course be just as in the dark as the rest of us or being completely diplomatic. I think until either something concrete comes from them, I’ll assume the rumour to be wrong.0

If you can get water into my gaff be my guest. Apparently my Worcester Bosch manifold needs changing because it was leaking so much I had to turn off the mains. My plumber tried to tell me how to do something to isolate it, the hot water that is, so we could have heating and cold, but I didn’t understand and couldn’t do it. As you can see, my boiler is more interesting than Appletons Charlton at the moment, so come on over, but the lack of water is making Mrs Plum very grumpy indeed!iaitch said:

He'll be doing the press conference soon. If he's been sacked (highly unlikely) expect it announced this morning latest.
Or they might just send Stephen Henderson out.1 -
Charlton’s twitter account have just posted about tomorrow’s game….so I can only assume that anyone saying that Appleton has been sacked is sadly incorrect.2

That’s just a standard pre-arranged tweet for every match. Definitely won’t effect if Apples is in a job or notL0rd_M0ntagu3 said:Charlton’s twitter account have just posted about tomorrow’s game….so I can only assume that anyone saying that Appleton has been sacked is sadly incorrect.4 -
Never ceases to amaze me how unrealistic some people are with managers. It's like when people wanted us to go for Howe about a month before he got the Newcastle job paying however much a week, with a ridiculous transfer budget.follett said:Cooper isn't just unrealistic it's ridiculous. Do people forget we're 16th in League One, I don't even think the likes of Eustace will consider us.
Not only are we 16th in League 1, we're a mess!2 - Sponsored links:

I think if he’d been sacked, we would have heard something officially by nowJordanJLD said:

Ignore the straws I’m clutching but could they be using the pre match presser to announce it?0

10:00 AM coming up…0

I doubt he's gone yet. But the search for his replacement has probably just started in earnest.
Rodwell didn't give any indication that they were looking to get shot of him a couple of weeks ago and I believe he was telling the truth.
Blind panic has probably set in now though.
I have absolutely have no faith in this mobs ability to acquire a suitable replacement. Remember they cast Holden upon us. Nice bloke but woefully out of his depth. Then after an exhaustive recruitment process they managed to come up with Appleton!
The term 'you don't know what you're doing' has never been more apt.2 -

He will get tomorrows game, anything less than a win and surely he's gone.
Annoyingly if he sneaks a win somehow, that might buy him another couple of games.0 -
I know the results have been poor, but surely he should have half a dozen games, now we have better players come in. I wasn't impressed with his appointment in the first place btw.17

Question for Louis to ask at the presser.
It was reported that Dean Holden was asked to accept a former manager (Powell) in to his management/coaching structure when he was struggling. Has the same been asked of Appleton?
Or is that why Curtis was bought in?1 -
The thing is a win doesn’t change anything. It would currently be an anomaly when looking at the results. If he has been given tomorrow then they’re already looking for new managersCAFCTrev said:He will get tomorrows game, anything less than a win and surely he's gone.
