How many families does he have?

Just been reading some messages from Stockport fans, to quote one, …
.I’d imagine he’d be interested to hear what they have to say from a personal point of view.
Sorry, but if any Pools manager was doing that that , I wouldn’t want you anywhere near my club anymore. That really is rubbing your nose in it in my opinion.

Well the Stocky forum is on meltdown with about a dozen pages in the past few hours.

Very strong rumours now that the Charlton job is his. If right a few bob in compo will have to be paid out.

Big commute for DC to Charlton from Manchester each day - perhaps he will fly down to London City which is very close to the Valley.

I would imagine he will be offered accommodation down there. They may even insist on him moving down there. It wouldn't be the first time.

He’ll fly down Chal Air. Off the plane onto the Woolwich Ferry and he’s on the job.
Job’s a good un.
Dunno the bus route that side of the river though.

Bigger club, more money. Why would anyone turn it down?

Of course if the club couldn’t get promoted, he got himself promoted, that’s the way to do it Mr Punch.

Well aye.

He has turned it down, we are just too big a draw for him to leave, you guys on other hand he couldnt get out door quick enough and away Raj

Do you do this post in English….?

Chally has a choice to make, like a bloke choosing which chippy to go to. Do you go best or nearest?

Just caught up on the thread after a busy day.

Have to say the very fact DC has travelled down to London suggests he'll fuck off, if offered the gig by Charlton. Assuming he's taking the backroom team- Clint Hill has probably still got a gaffe down there, from his days playing at QPR.

I reckon the Shitport players know he's off after a fairly abject performance at Mansfield last Saturday, reminiscent of our collapse at Orient the weekend before he went for his Stockport interview.

At the end of the day it's a job, DC has no more allegiance to Shitport than he does us- he'll do what's best for him, as we all would.

Still funny though, the old Schadenfreude!

The mere fact a manager of any club has apparently applied for another job or been interviewed should be the point the supporters wake and smell the coffee.
You need a new manager.

Challioners quote after signing a new 3 year deal, obviously the club didn’t stand in his way re interview but it goes to show irrespective of what contract he signed he is open to offers from other clubs,

“I don’t think it’s any secret that since I came to the football club, I’ve been really happy. We’ve had some success, there’s still the overriding disappointment of the end of last year, but in terms of where I am and where the club are, we’re aligned in what we want to try and achieve over the next few years. To extend my stay is something both parties wanted to do, so happy to get it done.”

Simple choice for any fan, would you still want as your manager someone who is applying for other jobs and interviews….?
Personally no.

"Thanks for the security of the 3 year deal, gives me plenty time to find a new job while you think I'm staying, mugs".
Even if he doesn't get Charlton job he's away soon and worst case with a nice pay off to compensate for the club breaking his contract if they sack him.
If I were a club owner I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, doesn't matter how green the grass is he's got it hy feet. And to be fair he's got us promoted, then staffed huge money at Stockport to achieve nothing so no great track record really. I dare say a 10 year old football manager fan could've achieved as much there with their budget.

DC will still be inundated with offers over the coming months. Two successive promotions from the league of death is unparalleled. As for looking for a job whilst at Pools; not many people on a derisory salary wouldn’t jump if offered a 50% pay rise. The bloke has bills like the rest of us.

Not saying he wouldn’t but would you be happy employing someone actively looking around for a new job while working for you….?

well he has turned them down he says or have they turned him down indirectly by offering him something he could only refuse. a lot can happen between offering him an interview and when he gets there.

how many times have we done that though and not always on the quiet. sometimes we left and othertimes we stayed and just carried on as before. for me being a manager at charlton is an improvement on stockport who are pools with money to burn.

Think if he stays at Shitport for now- he's just sent up a smoke signal to bigger clubs in the north west that he wants out at the next opportunity -

I'm not a betting man but would wager a few quid on him going to the likes of Blackpool, Preston, Wigan and maybe Blackburn as and when the inevitable vacancy comes up. He certainly doesn't give a shit about the 3 year project at Shitport, which he's recently signed up to.

and how will their fans feel about him now. he more or less cannot make a single mistake from now on before a section of the crowd will be on his back. if it had been askey doing the same with us the fans relationship now would be quite different. any manager doing the same would need to move on now unless they have rino hyde for skin.

Has his missus twittered a rant about what a shit the chairman at Stockport is yet?

Playing Crawley at home today, fans could react if the result not going Stockport way ?

I doubt it. He's no Raj that's for sure.

Oh I dunno about that, at least Raj managed to get his manager to sign a three year contract, like he did with Challinor before the green green grass of the North West called him home….oh, and some dosh.
I wonder what their Chairman’s thinking

Stockport getting beat 3-2 by Crawley currently !

They managed to get a draw 3-3 at home eventually..wonder how the fans felt?

In his post match interview Challinor said he was committed to Stockport, of course the fella interviewing him should have asked him why did you go to Charlton for an interview then ?

Isn't Charlton closer to his Merseyside home then?

If Stockport fans are gullible enough to believe that, they deserve all they get.
It seems quite bizarre that he can do that then tell the fans he’s committed to Stockport….Really?

football fans will swallow any old crap that managers and players spout in interviews especiaaly if it suits them. one thing about JA is he tells us what things are unlike a lot of others you hear who paint a fairy tale out of everything.

Two things you should never reveal, how much money you earn and your next move.

in challinors case i cannot see people parked up outside his house or at the valley watching every single move thats going on. somebody somewhere must have opened their mouths or cannot stop themselves posting on unsocial media.

5 points from 6 games nearly 4 points as Stockport equalised in the last minute, not an ideal start to the season ?

they are on a run though of 3 unbeaten at home so imagine either their fans orthe media team will make that look better than it is.

if it had finished that way the result would have seen their fans going into meltdown by losing a 2 goal lead unlike we did at chesterfield. more self entitled you feel the worse adversity can be taken.

Spent a fortune on the team, similar team to the one that looked ordinary against pools at the back end of last season. The massive club they all thought they were last season,doesnt seem so massive anymore. Crowds will drop off before long if they continue as they are. I give challinor a month before he is gone.

Only a section of their fans think its a massive club. those who have been around for any time realise they have money now but basically not too unlike pools with money but a few more coming through the turnstiles. like with pools some new fans will stay but more will go back to where they were before the good times came to find a new lost cause for a few seasons.

Noticed Stockport battered Wrexham 5 nil yesterday. I think thats 3 straight wins for Stockport, can see DC getting them promoted this year.

Looked dodgy for him a few weeks ago but if you have a massive squad of decent players, eventually your going to hit some form.

Whatever your opinion of DC hes a top quality manager.
Left Pools to enhance his career like quite a lot of players.
One day we mite prevent these sideways moves.

He went for money and most clubs can’t compete with the money of Stockport’s new owner.

Good manager, not a saint.

I don’t care how good a manager is, if he pulled the stroke he did with Charlton, it’s obvious he has one eye permanently on the exit door to the next financial horizon as that incident proved it was never about moving back to the North West…..and if the Stockport fans are so dumb as to cling on, well bigger fools them.

Garry Liddle enjoying his payrise choice to decline Pools at the mighty S. Shields.
Along with plenty of others who would of kept us in the league. Choose to jump a sinking ship for better pay.

thats it with managers. win 5 on the trot and a new contract comes out. lose the same number after and its a P45. its this instant success and wins at all costs that start at boardroom level and go down to fans. how many times has a change of manager at pools improved things over the years looking at the number of them getting the chance.

Just to clear up the DC situation re the Charlton job, Mr Stott said Charlton approached him and asked if they could approach the manager, he agreed because he said any approach to any member of staff from another club done legally is not a problem as we as a club will not stand in anybody’s way to better themselves. DC thanked Charlton for the interest but did not want to be considered for the job and thanked them for their interest, I know that probably doesn’t suit your agenda but never mind.

No agenda from me.
Totally appreciate the excellent job he did for us on a shoestring budget.
Just dont understand why some of our fans hate him now.
Wierd behavior.

He couldn’t turn down what was offered to him, as with the Charlton approach if he came from down south I wouldn’t of blamed him if he went. If he had left us after he got us back into the football league I can genuinely say most County fans would have thanked him and wished him well regardless of the contract he had, I also know all fans aren’t the same.There was a time 5 years ago I never thought I would see us in my lifetime back in the FL again, we also were hammered at Oxford City in the national league north, Christ we were so bad…. Gannon got us back on track and then Mr Stott arrived, nothing lasts for ever but DC will always be a legend at EP, having money has it’s own pressures and expectations but I’m glad Mr Stott arrived, I won’t post again because I’ve made my point, your lot will be back probably next season, the big spenders are leaving your league now, good luck and safe travels.

Time to consign this one to the history books. Night, night.

Agree he's now got Stockport top of the league, you just know they will get promoted this year with him in charge!
