bcfcmike Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 For me it would be a step backwards if we appointed Appleton. Never done anything or been able to cope at this level!! We need an experienced championship proven manager to push us on. The Chairman states the club are aiming to be a premier league club, so for me they have the perfect chance to prove to us fans that it is not just idle talk with this appointment!! If they go down the cheap unknown option with Appleton as they did with Mcinnes and Odismal, it will prove it is just idle talk. IMO we need either a pearson or even a Warnock (born winners) type to save us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 100% agree. I'd seriously give up if Appleton was appointed. I thought I read somewhere that Mark Ashton said "you'd be surprised who is interested". That doesn't sound like its his mate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm doing everything I can with the big man (Dad) to help sort us out. I didn't clean my room yesterday, so he did threaten me withAppleton's appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busterrimes Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I wouldn't worry as according to Oxford fans Michael Appleton is too good for us and should be looking for a better job. We are apparently deluded for wanting Pearson too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah totally agree, it would be for me too!! We cant say we havnt experimented with the up and coming unproven managers as we have Mcclueless and Odismal and they were the worst years in recent history of BCFC!! We need an experienced manager, that will take us forward, and not someone that might be a great manager in league 2 in 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I've said elsewhere, we need two things from a new boss. Firstly someone who knows this division and understands its challenges. Secondly someone who instantly makes City attractive to players. Appleton is neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Dear 'Board', please leave Michael Appleton alone to continue his work with Oxford this season. Dont rock the ******* boat at the Kassam and possibly help a certain scumbag team in their bid to get promoted. Cheers. Btw, do any other Viz readers on here think that Michael Appleton bears a slight resemblance to 'Daz' from 'Scum Mothers, Who'd Av Em?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobArnold10 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Simply put for me, if the board feel the need to make statements that they want premier league football then they have to go for Peason or Moyes or somebody of that ilk. They cannot go for an Appleton or Tisdale, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than a Premier League experienced manager will for me fall way short of the mark, based on the noises the board are making. If you state the intent in SC dismal statement then they really need to deliver. Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Victor Tooms Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I recall similar topics to this one being posted before Cotterill was appointed. Whoever gets chosen should get your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT's Vaseline Tub Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Appleton is totally unproven, over-rated, terrible track record, need I go on. If the Board appointed him then you then start to realise all their polished PR memo's are a load of old tosh. We would become the laughing stock of football spouting a big name only to find out its him! Doh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as fans have put up with enough of S@@t manager appointments for the last 7 years ( Barr Cotts ) We now need to speak out and tell the board to back up there noises Re Premier League.

I certainly wasn't one that was in the "Anybody but Cotts" camp 2 years ago?? But offer me Cotts right now or Applecart ill pick Cotts everytime!! Ok Cotts has been sacked, Its now time to go forward, NOT take a HUGE step backwards. Ask a Blackburn or Blackpool fan what they think of Applecart at his level.

mr belgos Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I think everybody is getting carried away with Mr Ashton joining from Oxford and his "links" with Appleton . All directors are always on 3 to 6 month notice period and I don't think Cotts was in trouble in August so I think we can quash the rumours now about an imminent appointment of Appleton which would be a PR and footballing disaster.

steviestevieneville Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm not saying i want Appleton because i don't but those stats that were up earlier about the clubs he managed are not fair on the bloke. WBA caretaker for one game . Pompey , Blackburn, Blackpool were all in meltdown when he managed them. The only stable club is Oxford . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
