Exactly, everyone thanks him for getting us promoted and giving us a fantastic day out at Bristol, whilst some will be disappointed with the way he left others won't, all behind us now and not going to change.
It'll be interesting to see how he gets on, he had a massive budget last season and they didn't realise fans expectations (wonder what the chairman's are), can he do it this season with a huge budget again? I dare say if he doesn't he'll be gone. Is NL or run of the mill Div 2 is limit or will he kick on and go far higher?

Exactly, any animosity on my part has long since gone and turned to disappointment at what could have been, but that’s life.

But sometimes supporters can be a bit on the, er ….thick side , as evidenced by a lot of Stockport ‘supporters’. OK, they have a sugar daddy pumping the money in, but with the best will in the world, if only gives you an advantage, not a guaranteed ticket to the next promotion party…..are these the same ‘supporters’ who on their massage board would just be happy to get back into the football league? How quickly they forget.
Once the ego and entitlement kick in, any manager is up against it.
What a contrast, he was loved and admired her and we’d have given him our full support if we’d been promoted and just missed out on promotion again……. The difference I like to think, between us and Stockport, is we’d have been happy, they expect to be happy or else.
Chalk and cheese thank God.

Only in football would we question such a decision. He made the one we all would have made. End of.

I can understand why he left but I can still not like it and wish him failure. It’s like if your wife left you for a richer man.

Yeah, that sums it up. If the wife tells you she’s off for those reasons you ain’t gonna want her back unless youre a gormless fuckwit. :laugh:

Challinor no doubt was a good manager, indisputable, but my beef was the nature of his departure and unless you had access to the contract negotiations and the books in general the rest is for the Fairy’s because unless Dave opened his heart to you personally how could you possibly know….?

A fair argument Snowy but you don't need a smoking gun here, long ago there were enough dots to join to form a clear picture of how rhings were being run. Hell, I've even acknowledged that a corner may have been turned recently but if it has, its because it NEEDED to be turned and we WERE being steered in the wrong way.

DC left us with an OK squad in an OK position. Was it his fault that the recruitment of a new manager was utterly botched three times in a row after that? Nope. Could we have still been safe and sound in league 2 without DC? Absolutely.

Yes

End of the day it’s about Challinor and over entitled Stockport ‘fans’ .
Personally I think the fans are behaving like tits over this start to the season and if they get their wish they’ll be losing a decent manager…. But any damage will be self inflicted.

if he gets the sack there will be a better chance of them appointing a lee, hartley or curle rather than one who improves the results.

“Challoner is one of only 5 managers to get us promoted but there has been endless failures” excuse me but doesn’t that go for nearly every lower league clubs?

he has done the same with them being one of 6 who has gained 7 promotion with them and one from a league we have not droppeddown into. as a league club it took us over 45 years to get a promotion. there record is hardly much better with only 1 promotion between the mid 30,s and early 90,s when they went up with us. got a feelng we understand our history a lot more than they do for their club.

the writing was always on the wall when challinor never moved up here and lived the other side of the country. if he had not gone when he did he would have done so sooner than later. A commute like he had would have got to anyone when you realise there is a job closer even if the money was the same which it was not. we were lucky to have him the period we did and if he had still been at fylde i doubt he,d have applied for the job with us anyway.

I never thought it was about money, it was all down to ludicrous appointments.
Lee was a case of bringing back an ‘old boy’ to calm the natives…I thought Oh fuck banghead

..those days are gone…we were treading water and yet with all that time left to appoint a new manager we dallied and dallied and late in the day appointed a tribute act of a manager…I swallowed that one ( I still get indigestion from it) then we ended up with footballs great philosopher and that ended in tears too, he appeared to have the motivational skills of a gate post…the Eureka and salvation seemed possible till the tiff that scuppered our last chance.
At least we’re finally pointing in the right direction now. :laugh:

however if JA did leave the shit show most possibly start all over again and its rare for lower division clubs to improve on one good manager with another. stockport i feel will go through all this if challinor left them for one reason or another but will cost them more than it did us apart from relegation.

At the end of the day, he said/ she said doesn't really matter - we need to move on from that scotch circus!

Regardless of who gets the managers job at Pools, both previously and in future times, we supporters, supporting our club- are surely desperate for them to succeed in some positive capacity (and not just the eating pies, steaks)!

I wanted to believe Hartley was the right fit, at the time but clearly he was just a scotch Craig Harrison - decent managing park teams but clearly out of his depth at Pools.

Again, Raj has done well recently - rinsing Dundee for a few quid for Cilla, extending Askey's contract and NOT entertaining that nut job FUggla and his Mam- who are currently on a destroy and exit strategy at York.

Raj has got things wrong and maybe his choice of advisors have been questionable in the past- given what went on. But we need to draw a line in the sand and move on. Just seems to me that certain individuals like to run the the club down at every opportunity and it's getting a bit tedious.

I'm not saying everything is rosy either- as I don't know what goes on at the club on a day to day basis. I just think that we're at the start of a new era and we need to strap in and enjoy the ride!

In John Askey we've got an experienced proven manager for this level, who plays an attractive brand of football. He's won 4 from 6 so far and with a couple more additions (if you're reading Raj) has made us a competitive outfit in a very short space of time.

In Askey We Trust! rolf

It appears not, it’s like some Pavlovian response when the ‘Scottish episode’ is dug up from its grave, to resuscitate the bragging rights, rather like Macbeth.
Etiquette on the board was usually to move on and never go back, we all know what happened and even I still wince at my own naivety, but constantly claiming the ‘ I saw it coming prize’ doesn’t help us move on does it.

the laugh is raj could have put hartleys name and record out on the bunker and like johnjo said most of us would have been excited by the appointment and would have advised raj to sign him up. fact is even before seeing the side play some were expecting promotion. at least i sat on the fence and got it right. we,d finish either in the play offs or being relegated. there was never going to be any half measures with him.

Dave Challinor is fresh in everybody's mind so it is no surprise that threads like this will crop up until he becomes a distant memory. Nobody wants him to die or any harm come to him or his family. There are mixed feelings about what happened but no one is criticising his contribution while he was here and the vast majority are grateful for his efforts in getting us out of this league we now find ourselves in again.
The bone of contention centres on how he went about engineering his departure. The headline of the thread simply points out that all is not rosy for him at Stockport. It could be interpreted as gloating at his potential demise. Equally it could be interpreted as a genuine concern for him. Depends on each individual's perception of it.
From a personal point of view, I applaud what he did for us but I'm not giving him any kudos whatsoever for negotiating a three year deal one minute and then walking out on it virtually before the ink was dry.
If he does well at Stockport there are those who will be pleased for him and if he gets kicked out there are others who will feel a warm glow and raise a smirk whilst saying "serves the bastard right" Two polar reactions but both as plausible as the other. Then there are people like me who couldn't give a toss either way. He's gone and will probably never be back so best to move on.

Karma will be DC gets dumped and sees for himself the faith they once had in him and will probably go to Tranny Rovers or Barrow or someplace. Mols and the injured most of the time Jamie Sterry will be down here for a taste of the good life next season. (Plan B in case we don't make an immediate return). Luke Armstrong will engineer a move to Chelsea along with that Wolves bloke. Serves the pair of 'em right. Roy of The Rovers will come out of retirement along with Blacky Grey who is to my knowledge no relation to Joe. He will have to change his name of course because "blacky" has racial connotations. Billy Horner will be waiting in the wings with a Datsun that's been in a Trimdon garage for donkey's years, awaiting the call... That pesky bulb on the Town end floodlight will work at last. New evidence will come to light that Mark Cooper and co downed tools on Keith Houchen's watch and got him the push. Gaza will say a belated sorry for chiding Steve Tupling about his supposed inferior wage and status. Ian Wright will be humbly sorry and pay us thousands for all those goals he scored against us. The spirit of Lawrence will put an invisible shield across the Town End goal when our keeper is defending it. Hopefully amongst all of this will include Raj making peace with the fans. John Askey seeking revenge when Chesterfield come to The Vic. Mo Sylla will admit his mistake and return to our midfield with a fit again Mancini (dream on Allen). One to pull them all over the place and the other to enforce the tackle. Nicky Featherstone will return to the vic selling raffle tickets and says he misses the place. JA has suddenly been told that Raj has six numbers up on the lotto and can sign Timmy back from is it Bradford? JA will also pair Josh with Manni. Say folks the tea is strong in here tonight. Ben Killip is NOT coming back.

By the time their new stadium is built they might be playing Oldham down here and the stadium will be under water due to global warming. Come in Everton please. Your time is up.

Funny old game innit? Fair play if Challinor can promote himself to League One and leave the mighty Stockport behind!

Has he thought about his missus and the kids though?

Jamie1952 · **Joined:** Fri Jul 15, 2011 3:56 pm **Posts:** 7078

One of the reasons he left Pools was to be nearer to his family and of course the salary, bit of a commute to Charlton albeit probably a huge increase in his salary though.

I wonder what reasons he will come out with this time, if Charlton put their trust in him.
They will be taking a big gamble in my opinion. I like Charlton and their fans and wish them well in their search for the right man.
As for Stockport there is a guy at Cove Rangers who might be just worth a punt.

wonder if he takes his band of merry men with him - Stockport have a taste of your own medicine you fools. Can see them tumbling like a stone.

however if they want to loan us some of their league winning players ill happily welcome them with open arms - seen as though one has just gone to Alty on a perm transfer. Very good one too !

the object of desire within the management game is that you want to be managing at the highest level collecting all the gold along the way - cant fault him !

The fans will welcome him back with open arms, spread flowers in his path get down their knees and pray for their deliverance…… meanwhile in the real world, he’s not gonna be too popular, to put it mildly.

Dave was born, under a wandering star,
Clubs are made for joining,
Till you get the sack,
So I’ll bugger off to Charlton
Without looking back. etc etc, :violin:

Will Charlton pay better wages than Stockport’s chairman… or has Dave had a premonition his time’s up.[/quote]
I cant imagine charlton paying out much more than money bags stockport. How funny if he moved to london after saying he wanted to be closer to his family.

wonder if he takes his band of merry men with him - Stockport have a taste of your own medicine you fools. Can see them tumbling like a stone.

however if they want to loan us some of their league winning players ill happily welcome them with open arms - seen as though one has just gone to Alty on a perm transfer. Very good one too !

So can we assume he’s been told his numbers up at Stockport?
If not it seems a bit odd applying for a job when you’ve got one already. I can’t see the Stockport fans saying…,If you get the job Dave, we wish you all the best, but if you don’t we are gullible mugs who’ll welcome you back and never mention it again .
Somehow I don’t they’ll be quite so understanding. :laugh:
