    Carrier Pigeon just flew through my window, dropped off a letter from Andy Scott confirming that Appleton has been sacked and Jason Pearce took training

    Just received a parcel from @PWADDICK with a dead pigeon in it and a note saying Micky Apples has gone.

    I think it is ridiculous for us to say Appleton didn't/doesn't care. How do we know something like that? People have their ways and unless we are close to him and see him working we can comment on results and performances but not something like that.
    He's certainly not done anything or shown any signs to make me believe that he cares. From what I can see on the pitch, there's little evidence that the players believe he cares, or conveys it to them if he does.

    Maybe he does care and doesn't show it. Maybe he doesn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock. Either way he's shit.

    won't be sad to see the back of him, but his replacement will be our 19th manager in the 18 years since Curbs left; 14th in the 10 years since Powell left; and 6th in the 3 years since Bows (not including caretakers!).

    Wonder if it's worth installing a revolving door on the manager's office at this point?
    Appreciate these are the facts and will no doubt create the usual external headlines within the usual media outlets we’ll be classed as clowns, a circus, crisis club etc but I personally feel it’s all irrelevant if a change is needed which it is and we just need to ignore all the external noise that will come with this change as it’s the right thing to do.

    Besides which teams getting through 3 managers in a season isn’t as unheard of as it may have been once before.

    Seems pretty certain that he's gone, the question is why on earth haven't they announced it yet?

    It'll take all afternoon to finish the Instagram/TikTok video
    A pair of hands being rubbed together in that way footballers do these days. The phrase ‘Unfinished business’ appears on the screen. A glimpse of a tracksuit leg, a shoulder, a hand holding a football. Smoke clears, Karel Fraeye steps into shot and simply says, ‘I’m back’.

    This is very funny. Who’s been telling everyone that he’s gone?

    Either today will be forever known as ‘The bonfire of the ITKs’ or the club has gone completely mad.

    I didn't think he was suitable when he was announced a few weeks back. If I knew it, it must have been obvious to everyone else. 
    Apples is up there with a long list of managers who shouldn't have been employed by Charlton. This season has got to the worst I've seen and I've seen a lot of shit over the last 50 years.

    Now's probably not the time, but I also found this earlier today. :-(

    Perhaps yesterdays board meeting was to discuss Appleton’s 5 year contract extension.

    Got to say, I am rather confused.. Not just 1 person, 2 or 3 people who I get information from, have all been saying the same thing..

    Maybe a ploy to even more pressure on, I don't know. 

    Be interested to hear his comments.. As I understand he didn't take training today either.

    Really hope the first question to Appleton in his Pressie is... "WTF you doing here?"
    "Rumours of my sacking have been strongly exaggerated"
