I think it's coming to ahead now. The board have a serious decision to make because I can tell you now AMERICANS do not do FAILURE! Appleton needs to be dismissed this week. He is failing as a manager. If he isn't that tells me that the board are failing too in terms of not identifying his complete lack of ability. The Americans will be all over this and I expect change soon. Sure we do. We're just so optimistic that we call it success. Jokes aside, it's hard to see them sticking this out any further. In sport, you are what your results say you are. But even beyond that, the way the results have gone are enormously discouraging and not trending in the right direction. |

SE7 have shown intent through available funds,but MA's record is there for all to see. Get Rowett in now |

Thing is does anyone really trust Scott to bring in an improvement on Appleton? He is to blame for this dickhead in the first place! I trust Scott not to half arse the next appointment because his position will be under threat if he tries to pass off another Clogger as the man to drive SE7's grand plan. I would be amazed if his position is not already under threat. Aside from a few of the January signings, a lot of what he has done such as the majority of the summer signings and of course appointing Appleton, have been a disaster. Let’s not forget Holden got sacked for much less than what we have had to endure over the past 2 months. |

Appleton’s stats are now worse than Ben Garners, and far worse than Dean Holden’s.
If Andy Scott fired Dean Holden, you’ve got to ask what is stopping him from firing his considerably inferior successor.
Scott can still retrieve his own pair of bollocks from the fire here, but only by quickly bringing this Appleton farce to an end tonight.
PLEASE do NOT give him the must win home game on Tuesday night!!

I have a very strong feeling that he won't be in charge by the time we play Northampton on Tuesday.
He can't be. I know for a fact there was a lot more riding on today's game than just the three points.

I was late to the ‘sack him’ party but it’s time to go. The relationship with the fans is broken and I can’t see it being mended. They won’t get behind this team with him at the helm. I’d love Rowett but don’t think he’d come down to League One. Who else is available?

I'm not in favour of the way we keep sacking managers but it is time for Appleton to go.
He was never the right man and we all said it at the time of his appointment.
We're putting together a decent squad for next season, we need a decent manager/head coach!

Appoint someone who can organise our defence as we are conceding 2 goals a game over the past months.
I’m not sure whose out there but Gary R has a reputation for organisation and you can’t succeed without setting up the team to be miserly in defence.

It's all about a promotion charge next season. The man who is going to attempt it needs to be in charge for a few games this season to sort out the problems. Michael doesn't seem to be that man.

He’s not impressed me in any way. As you say, it was the most hostile appointment I’ve ever seen and we’ve had some terrible managers over the years. He’s lived up to what I expected. Gave him a chance. It’s time for me. Just not sure if the owners will want to get rid atm. Just appointed an assistant haven’t we?! |

Just watched Appleton’s post match interview on Charlton TV.
His arrogance really is something else.
Allowing for the fact that hopeless Charlotte’s questions made Terry Smith look like Jeremy Paxman, he’s talking as though he hasn’t a care in the world.
That same boring monotone & cliche filled response.
At the very least, she should have asked him why our defending is so criminally piss poor every week !

Reams do you think the SMT are reluctant to get rid of Appelton because their in fear of losing there jobs due to the failure ofhaving to appoint 3 managers in 1 season? Putting pride before the club and not accepting that they got it wrong.
Surely like you have said the US investors have to step on and protect there investments and directly get involved.
I know its been said they will leave it up to SMT but somethings got to give.

I think Ben Garner, JJ and Dean Holden could have all done something with the current squad and given it a reasonable go next season with the new players. I just can't imagine any improvement under Appleton, maybe it's a personality thing. |

Because I don’t watch the games for reasons posted before, I’ve held back on making excessive criticism of Appleton, however it’s now extremely difficult to find anything positive to say about the guy in his defence. His tenure in the job must be by a very thin thread.
If he does go, what does this say to any potential targets (Mr Collins for example) and the new guys signed last week. Would his departure be a hindrance to getting anyone else in or would it have no effect at all? I’m not saying he should get a stay of execution simply because we might have options on other players, far from it, but the state of flux his sacking would create might be the end of new bodies just when we need them the most. 🤷♂️
A critical time for the club and vital decisions have to be made, soon.

One of the big worries for me is why did he get the job in the first place. can you imagine the interview why did you leave your last job because I was sacked for losing 10 games on the trot🤨😩😩

Based on the info you get for here Reams you seem a de facto fan representitive - please urge the SMT to look on here, twitter, any Charlton forum to see how little he's backed. There's a poll up right now where 97% of 400 fans voted to have him sacked.

How long is his contract on for? Could the cost of offloading him kill any new transfer options…. Of course no point paying up for talent if the manager can’t get them to gel also…

As if he's going to come out and say no!! What a bloody stupid question when the person asking it has seen like the rest of us how many new players are coming in. If that's not backing him I don't know what is. Question should have been does he fear for his job? You cannot keep losing games and expect to stay in your position. |

I have defended him until now. Go. Tonight you clueless arrogant twat. As Alfie May showed at the end of the game the players don't want you and neither do I.

There's a poll up right now where 97% of 400 fans voted to have him sacked. Since full time I have only seen 1 (ONE) comment in support of Appleton. I won’t name the person involved, I will leave ITTV members to guess his identity 🥸 Taken just now, word for word, from Twitter - “All the new players have said it’s MA the reason they signed ….you can’t get rid of the manager you have to give him time to gel this team 6 and more coming in they not going to gel overnight” |
