WBA caretaker for one game . Pompey , Blackburn, Blackpool were all in meltdown when he managed them. The only stable club is Oxford . Which is a league 2 club, totally different fish to a championship club!! We just sacked a EXCELLENT league 1 manager, why would we want to take a step backwards to a league 2 manager ??

Yeah totally agree we would be back at the bottom of league 1, we would have to get Cotts back to get us out of league 1. No I really cant believe our board would be that Daft. And for Mr Ashton surely it would be employment suicide to give his mate a job that he is not up too, when the club will want our money again in a few months for a season ticket renewals ??

Agree with all RE no to Appleton. Completely wrong choice of manager for the club to grow and develop. If however the board like seeing is in league one for decades then crack on and get him in. Utter farse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Obviously I don't know much about him, but we need a manager with experience at this level, and from what I read about him, he doesn't seem the right profile for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he took PNE to the Championship play off final and promoted Derby to the Premier League in his first season as Rams' boss, took Forest to the play offs too.... Good record, no?

Ash the Bash Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I just don't understand what the appeal is with him? Honestly have no idea. Yeah most of his clubs have been in a real mess but it doesn't deter from the fact that he's achieved nothing at this level. Doing OK at Oxford but a completely different kettle of fish.

Fergie banned journos from his press conferences if he didn't like what they wrote....no one called him a 'mentalist' (interesting word) - Davies has a phenomenal record as a championship manager, I'm more interested in that than spats with people who take photographs...

gas8er Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 GOD help us if Appleton is appointed, dreadful record at Portsmouth, Blackburn etc etc etc....found his level at Oxford.

Wobbly fit is a tad of an understatement. Absolutely no way I want him as our manager. Davies' second spell proved to be a controversial and damaging one. He sacked long-serving club staff without explanation, shouting at a photographer taking photos for the club's matchday programme after a match at Millwall, banning journalists issuing a "near media blackout" and employing his cousin, Jim Price, a suspended solicitor, as his closest advisor.[26][27] After an eight-game winless run leaving Nottingham Forest one place and two points outside of the play-off positions and having seen his side lose 5-0 to local rivals Derby County on 22 March, he was sacked on 24 March 2014. A statement on Forest's website read "Nottingham Forest Football Club have confirmed the termination of manager Billy Davies' employment.[28][29] Louise Taylor of The Guardian pointed to Davies' "paranoia", "self-destructive insecurities" and "obsession with conspiracy theories and old grudges" as the reasons behind his downfall, suggesting that he had "shattered" his reputation.[30] The Daily Telegraph's John Percy, who was one of a number of reporters who were "accused of being in league with his former employers" for questioning decisions Davies made, said that Davies was "destined for failure" because he was "obsessed" with conspiracies and hidden agendas. He pointed to the "huge funds" Davies was given to get Forest promoted and suggested that he "could have got away with" the "unsavoury" behaviour, had Forest been winning.[31] John Payne of The Metro said that Davies owed the Forest fans an apology for his behaviour after failing to acknowledge them at the end of the defeat to Derby and "insulted fans' intelligence" by refusing to answer straight questions on the rare occasion he gave press interviews.[32] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Without reading through the whole thread I agree with the op. Appointing Appleton would be a backward step, we now need a proven championship manager with the nouse to get decent players in, keep us up and really kick on next year. Appleton does not inspire nor has the record in the championship to suggest he can keep us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daored Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I assume he is in charge today against the Blue Few? Would suspect if it is Appleton will become clearer tonight after their game against the gas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT's Vaseline Tub Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 If he's appointed there's a season ticket going in the South Stand if anyone fancies it. At least Cotts had a good CV and a decent enough reputation as a Coach. This bloke is a joke... Makes Mcwinless look top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just had a look at Oxfords forum and they think he will go to 'much bigger' clubs than us. Well they can keep him, his reputation at our level is piss poor, he might be a good lower league manager but nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbored Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Weren't Appleton the bloke that would get so much abuse every week at Blackburn that you wondered why on earth you would do that job.
