Tinmans Love Child Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 As is stands, if we get Appleton he will have lost his last game in charge of Oxford to Rovers! Quite possibly the worst start to managing City you could get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I have no idea why we would even consider him West Bromwich Albion He was caretaker manager for one game. Portsmouth He didn't spend a full season @ Portsmouth, "Following Portsmouth's fall into administration, Appleton insisted that he would not walk away from the club, vowing to "fight on until the end". Portsmouth were relegated from the Championship at the end of the 2011–12 season. Blackpool He went to Blackpool - After his resignation, he became the shortest-serving Blackpool manager in their history, with just eleven League games under his belt. Blackburn Rovers He was not at Blackburn for long however, On 19 March 2013, after poor results in the Championship, Appleton was relieved of his duties as manager of Blackburn Rovers, having only won 4 of his 15 games in charge. Appleton's tenure at Blackburn lasted 67 days, two days more than his tenure at Blackpool. At his time of departure, Blackburn were positioned at 18th in the table, four points clear of the relegation zone, thirteen points adrift of the play-off places with only nine games to go. Oxford United On 4 July 2014 Appleton became the new head coach of Oxford. So a pretty lousy record. One match at a club as caretaker, left 2 clubs after less than 67 days and is currently managing Oxford Utd - If this is as ambitious as our club gets then we deserver failure, as that seems to be what they are preparing for.

oldstandrobin Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 If we are going for Appleton, might as well appoint DC from our gas mates. 1. Will really pi** them off 2.Not too far to come into work 3. Will be good when we are back in League 1 then 2. Why havent the board thought of this. Moyes for me, lets start walking the walk and talking the talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bemmyredjeff Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 A very well respected head coach at west brom, isn't that what he would come in as if appointed. He wouldn't be my first choice but not as bad as some are predicting on here and I would think that most if not all of the supporting back room staff would be retained which would please most of us.......and I know o'driscoll was well respected too before his appointment .........................................................

Barrs Court Red Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 IF Appleton becomes the new boss so be it. To write him off so early in his career seems shortsighted. Id be concerned by his record if all 3 clubs (not including the WBA game) weren't utter basket cases. His tenure at Oxford seems to be more promising but hardly enough to justify a championship club employing him. My biggest fear would be that he would get no time at all from the fans, and like the Pulis era, a toxic atmosphere would envelope the club; in a relegation dog fight that would be suicide.

steviestevieneville Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just put on the other thread. Apparently Appleton not in the running for the job according to Twentyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwickshire Red Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Is there any real evidence City ARE considering Appleton? I'm not convinced the club would consider him at all especially to take us forward in the Championship. Think the link with Ashton is being overplayed and I'm going to chill on this one. (Seems Twentyman says we're not considering him - phew!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Appleton either, but have we learnt nothing from the appointment of Cotterill? Such a childish, pathetic stance to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
