Why did they give this clown the January window and let him bring in his own players
Why did they give him the job in the first place, they must have been the ONLY ones who thought he was capable
These guys are clueless10 -
Reckon Fleming and Pearcy will take charge tomorrow and maybe Saturday, glad he’s gone. Andy needs to get the next one right!2

I make you right. Bring back Dowie.MuttleyCAFC said:We can't have Cooper as you can't have two really ugly managers in succession. It just isn't right!
Football isn't Rocket science !
We do need bounce back ability though which is difficult when you are in quicksand.
I alway remember one of the last training session Dowie performed as they showed it on the local news and the players were really enjoying their selves and showing some great form ?
Playing cricket!
The beginning of Richard Murray going from hero to Zero began with the appointment of Dowie.1 -
I get why they gave him the window.. But I still don't get why him in the first place.. Tried to give him the benefit of doubt.. But blimey, he is woeful.Chunes said:Why did they give this clown the January window and let him bring in his own players

Always going to be difficult to keep quiet when he doesn’t turn up to training on Monday. Imagine a statement will be forthcoming very shortly.DubaiCAFC said:He has gone, he was told on Saturday night, the set up for the next few games was arranged yesterday, it hasn't been announced yet, is because of legal stuff!
I have reconfirmed 3 or 4 times with different sources, and same answer every time..0 -
I don't have any inside sources but thought this was worth a share,
I went for my morning trip to Aldi and went to pick a bunch of red apples. At the top of the pile was one lone rotter. Before I got a chance to pick it off the pile and throw it away, a store assistant with the name badge 'A.Scott' intervened, grabbed the rotter and said 'don't worry fella, the reds deserve better than that'. He then booted the bad apple down the fruit and veg aisle, turned and gave me a wink before he got back to his shop floor duties.
Make of that what you will23 -
Spot on. Unless Scott decided who was coming and Appleton had little, if any, say.Chunes said:Why did they give this clown the January window and let him bring in his own players

Glad he has gone. However having 3 managers in a season is frankly embarrassing. Huge pressure on Scott to get this next appointment right.

Looks to me like we have owners who are learning from mistakes and then try to right them. First with the summer window compared to now, also with hiring/firing Appleton. He shouldn't have got the job in the first place, but good to get rid and not worry about the optics of two sackings in one season.
Next appointment is a crucial one. End this season strongly with a respectable table position and use that as a springboard into the next one for promotion.9 -
Possibly thought the same as me, that with decent players he'd be ok. Not good, but ok.Chunes said:Why did they give this clown the January window and let him bring in his own players

They could give him until the end of the season and then make a decision.
I expected us to win on Saturday with a good performance and we were absolute rank and it was obvious that even with new recruits they weren't playing for him and as good as gave up just after HT when the 2nd goal was conceded.
He had to go immediately, no question.3 - Sponsored links:

What will this mean for the Michael Appleton stand? Will it still go ahead?39

If a Potter and a Cooper are unrealistic, how about an Undertaker to bury the last four and a half years.6

Maybe they wanted to keep him to help pursuade Coventry to come. 👍Chunes said:Why did they give this clown the January window and let him bring in his own players

Easy job being a manager, if it doesn't work out you get a nice payoff and onto the next role.
Appleton came across as not giving a shit. At least Holden took time to learn about the club and showed a bit of pride. Bad appointment4 -

I'm desperately hoping for a first sighting of Chris Powell having a coffee at the Toddington Service Area to be reported!2

That coupled with the fact we have a game tomorrow.SouthWest_Addicks said:

Well can I just say that isn’t very likely to happen.charltonman2016 said:Glad he has gone. However having 3 managers in a season is frankly embarrassing. Huge pressure on Scott to get this next appointment right.
It will be a temporary appointment regardless.0 -

Thanks for sharing that true story 🤥
After much thought🤔 I believe you should've gone to Sainsbury's 🍎3 -

If this turns out to be true at least we can relax in the knowledge of that Appleton picture won’t be posted.1

Rumour he's gone25

It hasn't worked for him, but not being up to the task doesn't make him a bad person. He's done nothing to me or my family personally to give me any reason to hate him. He just wasn't very good in the end, so I've no problem wishing the guy, who's had his fair share of injury problems and had to fight cancer, well for the future.

I'd imagine that Apples had little to no say in who they brought in. That seems to be the way these days with head coaches and DOF. He just gets given the tools and told to get on with it. All the gear, no idea as far as apple sauce is concerned.Chunes said:Why did they give this clown the January window and let him bring in his own players
