For all we know he could be a great appointment. Please no, he is the Administration aftermath go too, on his way to Bolton right now. Cheap though??

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...

Nah take your point, however we are all in this mess together, no point in falling out, been sorted so that's OK. One thing about this place is that we do seem to have a bit of respect for each other, nothing wrong with a bit of banter, we all love it, but seem to know when to draw the line.

Coppello Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Surely 50% of the reason SC got sacked is because players are not jumping at the chance to play for us? I can't see how Appleton would change this situation in anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 1 hour ago, RedDave said: Are you saying we are the new Blackpool? If he took this job it would be nothing like when he took over at Blackpool or Portsmouth where he had not one penny to spend. Blackburn were going through their mad time with the chicken owner. Remember that nobody wanted Cotterill when he took over. Did you enjoy last season? I'd say there are a hell of a lot of parallels to Blackpool and Pompey - tiny squad and f all chance to build upon it, albeit due to the transfer window rather than cash; although some would say cash too. I'd assert you can substitute 'not a penny' to 'not a window' in these circumstances without being distortive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may as well just keep Wadey and Pembs in charge. This would be really, really bad. We don't need a coach. We need a proven no frills Manager!

Londoner Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 We need to attract players....Appleton will surely have the worst pulling power since Millen. Sherwood, Pearson, Clarke will attract names. But Appleton the cheaper option that fits with phiolosophy of the club. The board want a premiership club, they will not get that with Appleton...our structure and phiolosophy must change if we are to get to the top. sorry but for me Appleton would be a huge backwards step and take us back to a league 1 club with a lower potential of promotion than under Cotterill. Appleton a good coach but God he has done nothing as a manager as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercidered Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 You pay peanuts.... you get a monkey. End of! We / SL has money there is no wage cap on a Manager. Go for it and we just may get away with staying up. We go for a cheap option i.e. Tins, Millen or McInnes then its good night Vienna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loderingo Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 One of my work colleagues supports Oxford. He said he wasn't very happy when Appleton was appointed but is quite pleased now. They are playing nice passing football apparently and are doing well on 3 fronts (League, FA cup, Paint Pot (where they just won at Millwall). He would be disappointed to see him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadredfred Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Right then, after having to scroll through all the playground exchanges, must say I wouldn't be all that excited with Appleton being appointed. I did feel the same way with SC though, and he rather well. If our transfer failings were down to lack of funding from the board, this will be confirmed if we appoint MA. The cheapest option. If our transfer failings were down to players not wanting to play for SC, I can't see MA being any more of a draw. I think we need a name, and quickly. Can't see the board sanctioning it though, due to costs. And so begins the cycle. Premier League dreams. League One attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will pay for the new stadium nicely with a bit of change to let Colin get us some new players by Jan 31st . He didnt get where he is today by not being shrewd with money.

THat's not true is it? I think Dean Saunders would be worse for starters, Appleton could well think to himself 'I've managed 3 clubs in this division, all have been basket cases and I've been unsuccessful. Perhaps it's best that I stay where I am, achieve something and then think about moving on. He's had the reputation of being a good coach but hasn't actually won anything as a manager. From his point of view it would be a risky move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
