Think you’re forgetting his first stint. His record is light years ahead of Appletons.Critchley's record isn't miles better and has a transfer window. Every manager deserves a transfer window.
There is looking at other threadsThey have 1 point in their last 5 games, I'm surprised there's not more of them screaming for him to be gone.
At least Critchley has a likeable personalityCritchley's record isn't miles better and has a transfer window. Every manager deserves a transfer window.

He has, apart from one promotion from League Two.That's been and gone so not a factor when comparing. Appleton hasn't done bad in previous jobs.
I think you mean “selectively discounted to suit the argument”…..That's been and gone so not a factor when comparing. Appleton hasn't done bad in previous jobs.
Not really otherwise I would have mentioned QPR.I think you mean “selectively discounted to suit the argument”…..
We phooking told everyone so!Biggest fraud in football.
Here we go again.Critchley's record isn't miles better and has a transfer window. Every manager deserves a transfer window.
He did speak much better than he had first time around to be fair. I don’t think anyone can say otherwise.Here we go again.
Critchley is a far better manager/coach than Appleton
Appleton is stealing a living but no doubt if Charlton get shut he will get another job.
Once again we see the fickleness of supporters. When Appleton came here and gave his first interview there quite were a few posters who raved about how good he spoke. Very naive IMO.

Big lump of shit.It's like arguing what smells worse; stale piss or a big lump of shit.
In all seriousness, Appleton was bad but Critchley is hardly setting the world alight so can't say either or is better with confidence.
Yeap and when sacked from Charlton (with payoff) he will walk into another club at some point.. jokeJust another example of a failed football manager stealing a living
Maybe when they play us on Saturday 27th, and our players want to prove a point to him, about last year. We then beat them comfortably, and would it surprise anyone if their Board decide the following day to offload him.
That's how I started to feel when Critchley played Connolly at left wing back.When Appleton decided that having anyone in midfield who could tackle or close down a player was purely a luxury, I had to check out my support for him.
We were literally wide open for any team to feast on our slow under fire defence. He then took a great young talent in Patino who had shone in a 8/10 role for England U teams plus in a few appearances for Arsenal and asked him to be an enforcer
The kid was 7 stone wet through
You are just a wind up, why people on here respond to you on any subject on here is unbelievable, i only do because you clueless and its funny trying to get you to biteThat's how I started to feel when Critchley played Connolly at left wing back.

More than happy to have a chat with you, you might learn somethingSorry, I forgot Connolly at left wing back was completely normal. You obviously read the same tactical book as Critchley. I need to find a copy so we can chat about how good the formation is.
How quickly people forget that Appleton started as a manager in 2011, compared to Critch who started in 2019It's like arguing what smells worse; stale piss or a big lump of shit.

I watched one of Swanseas' games recently and Charlie has noticeably bulked up and was running the show from midfield. He obviously learnt a lot from his season at Blackpool. Not sure if it was just agent bullshit but said to be being tracked by Juventus and AC Milan.When Appleton decided that having anyone in midfield who could tackle or close down a player was purely a luxury, I had to check out my support for him.

Billy was managing when Blackpool fans had to fund transfers!! You can’t bring his final season record into a comparison like this, it was absolutely phooking heroic what he managed to pull off that season with what he had left after Owen sold all the players from under him.So Critch has even better stats than Billy as well and when you consider he is still a novice he has lots to learn and I repeat, give the man a chance
Sadler has cost us that, what the fuck was he thinking employing him in the first place, it was sadness.Appleton has cost us at least 3 seasons just to get back where we were and it could still be a lot more than that...the worst manager in my lifetime closely followed by Mick McCarthy
Pre-season training 48 hours away and Mansford overseeing a beep test in a tracksuit was my guess at the time. Only bloke they knew who'd take it for an immediate start and local. Named his money and haggled to spread it out over four years with a break clause or an option. Liked the cut of his jib about Prem U21 loans and cost cutting the squad, scrap that pretend recruitment plan this fellas got one etc. Playing a 4-1-2-3 passing up through the lines quickly game and all the stuff that gets you jobs like the Charlton one now.Sadler has cost us that, what the fuck was he thinking employing him in the first place, it was sadness.
He's been an abject failure in every Championship job he's had. Mid table League One is his forteThat's been and gone so not a factor when comparing. Appleton hasn't done bad in previous jobs.
He'll be saved from that because we'll be playing Bristol on Friday night.Maybe when they play us on Saturday 27th, and our players want to prove a point to him, about last year. We then beat them comfortably, and would it surprise anyone if their Board decide the following day to offload him.
And Critchley is on the same path. I am not saying Appleton has been good but I am playing devil's advocate for those thinking Critchley is so much better.He's been an abject failure in every Championship job he's had. Mid table League One is his forte
What do you expect ,especially someone with a Nobbers tattoo.Bloke is a League 2 coach, at best. No personal skills either. A genuinely weird guy with a chip on his shoulder.
You are overlooking the fact that Appleton has been in management for 13 years compared to Critch who is approaching his 5th year.And Critchley is on the same path. I am not saying Appleton has been good but I am playing devil's advocate for those thinking Critchley is so much better.
Not just a living salaries are hundreds of thousands per annumJust another example of a failed football manager stealing a living

You mean "yet another new manager bounce"As long as he doesn’t go before they play us, we don’t need a new manager bounce
Who in our squad did he most shaft or under-use? Otherwise I reckon most won't give a rat's ass!Maybe when they play us on Saturday 27th, and our players want to prove a point to him, about last year
