Equally Appleton has found some gems, i have been banking on about Kemar Roofe some months now as an example i am not advocating his appointment, just balancing the debate a little Darryl Eales is a really nice bloke, who could have pressed the panic button last year and didn't. He is now getting what he and his family deserve, and that is an Oxford team heading for the championship in double quick time IMO. Don't entirely dismiss Appleton is what i am saying, Valid points, Mr B - but if Cotts couldn't attract the level of player here how will MA?

We don't have time to find some gems. If we don't get the instant reaction that many clubs who do what we've done now do then we will be playing in front of 15,000 empty seats. We need an almost instant reaction from the new boss and instant signings. Someone like a Pearson or a Moyes (however unlikely) would instantly give you a chance to sign players on their name alone and we need that. It has to be a quick fix this time, albeit with long term in mind. No point in Tisdale or Appleton. that is true and an angle i had not considered that in my response to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverRed Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 According to the Daily Star, Mr Appleton is wanted by Manure as a coach. As I say, that's the Daily Star, so he more than likely won't be going to Manure... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/487688/Man-United-transfer-news-three-deals-Michael-Appleton-coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taken jobs at the wrong time. It could also be argued he was naive in taking them. I don't think this would be as bad as most people probably will Great a manager that has already made at least 4 naive/bad choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercidered Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 He is basically like a fire fighter and gets brought in to clubs when they are desperate i.e. Pompey. Should be a good fit for us then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Would be the cheap option again! So cheap in fact that the club can kiss goodbye to my ST renewal regardless of what league we end up in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 A few years back, I remember Michael Appleton being seen as a highly-rated coach tipped for big things in the game. That was before he manged of course but perhaps the idea is he's primarily a coach and the DoF focuses on the recruitment side. He certainly would be nowhere near my first-choice but neither would Cotts have been and that worked out. So, whilst I'd hope it was someone else, I'll back whoever gets appointed.
