Major Isewater Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 4 minutes ago, Roger Red Hat said: The only reason this is being suggested is due to MA's previous connection with Appleton. Rumour, not based on fact. Calm down dears. Also he seems to have redeemed his reputation a bit with some success at Oxford . I would n't be surprised to see a foreign coach bought in as they are used to the system we have in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a possibility, but I wouldn't think we've checked anybody out yet, so a bit risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 No outstanding candidates right now Would strongly prefer someone experienced and proven to be steady at least , at this level ... limited availability right now .... Rosler the best of limited options ? (I'd take Mick McCarthy over LJ tho) As for up n Cummings - Graham Alexander (Credit - another poster earlier in week @samo II ?) would be on my radar if I was inclined to look that way right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 For me, if he's appointing someone of sufficient stature to realise the potential of his stadium investments, SL needs to find someone with experience of success in the Championship. Akin to appointing Cotts in League One. Otherwise it's just another Lansdown gamble, few of which have come off. I struggle to believe that Appleton could credibly be presented to supporters as the answer to City's inability to stabilise in the Championship.

Unlike LJ he has actually helmed a side to.promotion. Can't see why he's being linked with Madness though. Can he even do the train walk? Will he be The Prince or an Embarrassment? Maybe if he doesn't fancy moving house he could be a Bed and Breakfast Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 If, and it's a big if LJ gets sacked it'll be SL who tells Ashton who to try and recruit. It would have to be someone who buys into SL ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjack Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Jesus Christ. You can stick a fork in this football club if Johnson stays or another inexperienced "pals act" like Appleton arrives. I doubt that he would leave the Wales job, but I have always rated Coleman myself. Other than that maybe Rosler. Not with the Rowett love-in myself.

Ashtonwurzel Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Sherwood or Rowett for me. Think Rowett would jump at the chance and Sherwood is biding his time for something whilst helping out his mate at Swindon. Both would seem ambitious but could/would be interested due to their current situations - In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
