As anticipated by the bookmakers, Michael Appleton has been appointed the new head coach at Charlton. He took training this morning.
Appleton has been round the lower leagues and, inevitably, has a connection with Oxford United. He tends to have relatively short tenures in managerial or coaching roles, but that fits with the new Charlton way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Appleton
I don't see that he is a great advance on Dean Holden and the materials he will have to work with remain limited. At least we are doing our bit to reduce unemployment in football as he has been out of work for eight months.
Of course, I wish him well and hope that he proves me wrong. I am generally a glass half full person, but I have rarely been so ;pessimistic about the state of the club. Perhaps things can only get better.
BTW, Lee Bowyer is now coaching Montserrat.
