Been impressed with the owners during the current window, but could all be ruined by not acting quickly over Appleton.

I keep looking, to check whether Reams has posted, with a cryptic clue.

I’d have him gone now weeks ago even but the SMT probably don’t want to admit they got it wrong again.

I’m not joking, no. My post, however, was a prediction, not a request or a desire. It’s what I think they will do not what I think they should do. OK fair enough. What would you do? Honestly, I don’t think I would have a clue what to do. I think I’d be like a rabbit in headlights. Not withstanding the fact that I have no experience in football - save for watching it, as a fan, I have no idea who else might be available and I don’t have a feel for if things are getting better behind the scenes. The first instinct is to assume that Appleton is not the right man for the job but I had that view when he was appointed. Clearly, those that appointed him didn’t agree with me, maybe still don’t. I’m not sure who would take the job now, unless they are guaranteed a payoff if they fail. I also agree with New York Addick that we are unlikely to go down what ever we do. Changing now could be expensive for no real long term benefit. Clearly you can see from my reasoning that I wasn’t lying when I said that I don’t have a clue what to do. I don’t believe that Appleton is going to get us promoted next season but I’m not sure that it makes sense to change him now if we will need to change the manager again in the summer. I think we all fail to recognise, as Charlton fans, that managing our club has been a poison chalice for a decade. The only managers that will want to take us on will be those out of work - and we’ve had a succession of those and none of them have been successful - which is why they were out of work. I wouldn’t be surprised if Appleton was the best candidate, in September, of all those willing to take the job on. That is the most frightening thing about it. This transfer window might change that perception but if I were discussing taking on the job now I would be very concerned that I wouldn’t last a year. That could be the end of a managers career - especially if he’s young and, relatively, inexperienced. I’m sorry, that’s two minutes of your life you’ll never get back and I haven’t told you anything you didn’t already know. 😂 |

If anyone thinks Northampton will be a banker think again . Sure they’ve won like 6 out of 9 or something . A toxic valley as well if he’s still there

I think the players are close to downing tools, if they haven’t quite yet already. I feel their drive, determination, desire to perform for Appleton has dropped.
He can’t survive a loss at Northampton.
I just hope the SMT have been working on succession planning for some time. If we’re putting money into the club now, are there any managers in roles currently who we’d want? Rather than unemployed

Rather than unemployed I did wonder why Curtis Flemming had joined the club randomly after a long period without his role being filled. Wonder if they had him in mind for interim care to get us through the season before appointing a progressive manager for the summer with the new crop of players? |

“Slagging the entire club” is your familiar gaslighting Kevin, and with all due respect I have supported CAFC a lot longer & a lot more diligently than you have , so I’ll have my say about these shitty temporary custodians, even if it goes against the grain on here. Forget about your beloved Xg and points per games and where’s we will be next February or September - you measure a club’s well-being - it’s heart rate if you like - only through two main factors. 1. League Position 2. Home attendances And both have been consistently very poor under SE7 Partners ownership. Ordinary fans haven’t fallen for Charlie’s promises and Scott’s bullshit - they can see just how poor the product is on the pitch, and that it’s highly unlikely these chancers can turn the dial and remedy things. I’ll be at Orient on Boxing Day, supporting our club and hoping for a better 2024 under new owners & a better manager. Good post mate, although across social media only a smuttering of fans thought Methven was the real deal. Why is CM the only one getting stick? I can asure you he isn't involved as people think he is, not at board level. He is more in teh middle and has the most to do with the Americans. There are a few who should be in the firing line before him. |

Appleton is awful. His style is awful. His coaching must be awful otherwise we would be improving not worsening.
My only feeling that he won't go is he has only had half a transfer window, he has just brought in some decent players who need a little bit of time to gel, but they are good enough players that we should see improvements very soon. If we get rid now we have yet another manager coming in with players they didn't pick. Albeit this time I would say any manager would be adopting better players to choose from (can't comment on new defenders yet obviously).
Setting up a team so defensive clearly he wanted to avoid losing yesterday rather going for the win, but he can't even do that FFS! Players 100% also need to accept some responsibility too. They are making so many of the same errors week in week out. Yes the coaching is telling them what to do, but what defender doesn't know how to mark a man, get into good defensive positions, track back, be aware of where opposing players are, or communicate with their teammates. Appleton might be telling them exactly the right things and these guys just can't do it..... I doubt it, but he might.
Trust me I am not saying give him a chance, what I am saying is I am fully expecting SMT to give him more time to turn it around with the players of choosing. Never should have hired him in the first place, but thats down to Scott.

It's a case of bad timing.
If this was 3 weeks before the January transfer window, as opposed to 3 weeks into it, I think he'd be gone.

Rather than unemployed May ran the full length of the pitch and chopped down a burton player out of pure frustration at not getting the ball was lucky not a red . Think the players have definitely lost it with Appleton and if he is still in the seat Tuesday we have to score 3-4 to get a draw or win . |

It’s so typically Charlton that at the same time as we finally get investors who are willing to spend decent money on quality players, they also appoint Andy Scott, who couldn’t find a decent manager even if it was tied to the end of his wotsit.

You sign 2 defenders of Championship quality and leave them on the bench. Appleton if your still in charge Tuesday play them FFS.Leaking goals is our problem

No idea? Hoping radio silence is because things may be in motion. But,sadly I'm starting to think he's managed to blag more time to try and turn things around. Anyone else think if SE7's other arms of business/trade were sinking without trace they would think to themselves that's fine it'll sort itself out. |

I can only think he’s still in a job as there was so limited time between games. Tuesday must surely be his last game

To everyone on here it seems painfully obvious that the bloke needs to be gone before Tuesday but in reality we all know Andy Scott has an ego and he’ll not readily admit his mistakes. It’ll be a long painful stay of execution, picking up the odd win and a few draws until late February early March. At which point he’ll Hopefully stumble across the right one for next season!

Agree with those that have mentioned it’s hard to sack the manager and convince players to join when we are manager less.
We need someone like Collins in. If sacking the manager meant we couldn’t sign/convince that type of player, what would you do? Sack Appleton and sign lesser players? Keep Appleton until the end of January and sign the top targets and then get rid (assuming nothing has changed in form… seems pretty certain atm)?
It’s a tough call to make. I can understand the people who think he’ll get to the end of January.
