For all we know he could be a great appointment. and for all we know he could be a total disaster, his record is in general appalling, we have had managers who have divided opinion from day one, let's have a manager that the fans can actually get excited about from day one for a change.

SC couldn't get in the players we need so how the **** will MA do it? I don't get that attitude at all. Surely the biggest lesson from Cotts' appointment and success is that fans shouldn't pre-judge managers before they're appointed and should get behind whoever gets the job? And let's not forget that Michael Appleton is nothing if not well-connected. In particular, he has a really good links with Man Utd (Ferguson, Neville and Giggs all testified for him when he sued for the injury that ended his career and even today he's being linked with a move back into their coaching team) and he's highly-respected as a coach. He's not who I want but neither is he a non-entity and arguably he has more routes to doing deals with big clubs than Cotterill did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not holding any judgement on his managing as it really can go anyway. However, it's shown nobody wants to come here, even if we finish mid table (which we obviously wouldn't) our aim is apparently to push for the prem and i can't see anyone of that quality to join a team managed by MA.

What has he done in his career? Whether he'd be the man or not is open to debate, the line above, I fear, is not Unless Cotts personality prevented players from joining. Or perhaps he was trying to sign the wrong players. We will never know for certain. I would prefer a 'big name' in this instance because we need to get some decent signings in sharpish.

Would a big name fancy a club where you can bid £2m for a player and be out of a job 6 days later? I'm not sure it smacks of a club who know what they are doing! 2 minutes ago, Collis1 said: Unless Cotts personality prevented players from joining.

Londoner Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Appleton was on the verge of being sacked by Oxford last season....hasn't achieved anything as a manager as of yet, for me, this is a definite no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol south end Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 We will have to take what we get. Like it or lump it. Its not like there are loads of great managers fighting it out for this appointment. No big names want to come here. They will turn an interview down flat. I have no faith in this board. They will make a mess of this. They have just lost there inside man SC, who before his appointment advised the board on football matters as a paid consultant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be.....Gary Monk, well more hope than anything else, apparently GM is very organised, well thought of in the game and would be the ideal fit IMO, not overly demonstrative, level headed, and the sort of character that would fit in with the Board I reckon. Given his defensive qualities would be another plus, I see him as the club manager, not head coach, like to see Wade Elliott step up alongside or to be given the day to day first team coaching. Pembo? not sure about him, but we don't know an awful lot either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Appleton doesn't even remotely excite me. At least with SC I felt he had much if what we needed to stay up in league one. If Appleton is our next manager, it will be the first time my season ticket is called into question.

GrahamC Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Surely we are all missing the point? Isn't the board's first consideration going to be how scared they are when they have to sack the next bloke? Forget Pearson, all my money is on Julian Clary...

Mighty Squirrel Kingdom Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Appleton is basically SOD waiting to happen ie all hype and no substance. He's done well at Oxford, but let's face it he needed to do well somewhere. His reputation nose dived after Blackburn and Blackpool and so he needed to build his reputation. Possibly one for later, but not for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
