It's Appleton

[Rogic29]

jeez if the players were intimidated by Lennon they're in for a surprise, think it's a good appointment - and agree with bringing in his own assistant nothing worse than being forced to work wi a guy you're not comfortable around or whos just a c***

Guys that size are quite often not as aggressive as they look. Look at dyche at Burnley as an example , very rarely do you see him losing the plot. He is quite articulate too.

Some build on the guy wouldn't mess with him. If he does not do well though I have no issue on telling him so...... Via email.

Wonder who his assistant will be, someone with knowledge of Scottish football?
Did he have a regular assistant when he moved clubs in England

I like the idea of Bouzy. Wouldn't think Hamilton would be to hard to deal with RE: compo.

He's not. He went to clear his locker but missed it.

Calm down pal. If you look back to when Stantonsboots posted I backed them and Appleton. Can you show me Tuesday where I was bemoaning Stubbs also? Pretty sure I posted then that I didn’t think he would be back as he would be by now. Furthermore, my first choice was always Strachan.

Genuinely no idea what your issue is with me to be honest, you seem to be like a dog with a bone to a good few posters though while always acting like a smaet arse.

To be fair to him I took his post be of the light heart nature, unusual but that's how I read it.
Take it back just read his reply & your right bit of a smart .....

[One Day Soon]

I started writing a post saying how worrying I found the suggestion of his appointment and finished up thinking he could be outstanding once I'd looked closely at the detail of his record and at what Oxford United fans have to say about him.

He will need time and money though, that looks clear. My only doubt is whether a manager with no experience of the Scottish leagues - and without the money that eg The Rangers would give such a manager to throw at it all - will fit in.

I also think he will be off like a shot as soon as anything better emerges in England.

I wonder if Whittiker would be any help to him? He's certainly one of our more accomplished players and has great experience of Scottish Football.

Thought he was sacked in the fallout from Lennongate?

I posted this last Sunday morning. Looks like he's been in the frame all along.

'Sunday Times suggesting references have been asked for several options, including for Michael Appleton'.

If I had applied for the job and I didn't turn up to watch, I wouldn't expect to be appointed.

I would expect other candidates to be there today, too, unless the decision has been made..

I was just reading his past appointment history and i dont think its bad at all. His first gig was at championship portsmouth who at the time were in a complete shambles and ended up in the bottom division. He then managed Blackpool to some degree of success which earned him a move to Blackburn. Blackburn looks to have been a poor move as he went on to fail at the club , that saw him being sacked. He then went onto manage Oxford where he done an amazing job in guiding them to promotion from league 2 finishing 2nd , and then taking the club to 8th place in league one the following season before leaving to become assistant manager at Leicester

Im beginning to think the guy could be an excellent appointment

Don't think you could say with any conviction he was
either a success at blackpool or a failure at blackburn. He strangely only spent about 3 months at each club.

Thats why i said some degree 👍

[leithsansiro]

Appleton apparently has the ear of Sir Alex Ferguson to call on. Plus, he perhaps has a few contacts, particularly for young players, in England.

So if we have a spotter at the game we will determine who the final candidates are?

We might not recognise them.

I'd definitely be there if I had applied. It would give out the right signals and allow me a look at the team.
