Looks like it's between these two - who would be your pick?

Meh. Hope I’m pleasantly surprised though.

Where is the "other" button? MSM aren't to be believed in much and who would be surprised if LD pulled a rabbit out of a hat?

it's like trying to choose between a punch to the teeth of a swift boot to the stones, would rather have neither tbh

For those saying neither.... what are your suggestions?
This place is toxic right now, the negativity of some 'fans' is actually sickening!
I hope one of these two get the joba nd turn things around, then i will wait to see a lot of grovelling folk singing "only 1 appleton/heckingbottom"!!!Last edited by BlackSheep; 07-02-2019 at 12:44 PM.

Appleton just shades it for me. Both could be promising appointments and a return to the model we worked with under Stubbs.

Not sure the club has thought this through. How the ****** are we supposed to work Heckingbottom into a chant or song? Appleton isn't much of a scanner either.

Don't mean to sound negative but imo the calibre of the man who has left the job is immensely superior to either of those two.
With a reported 100 or so applicants for the post I would've expected a high calibre short list - apparently not.

I don’t know much about either (and was dead against Appleton) but reading interviews and looking at recent clubs I now favour Appleton. Held in high regard from what I’ve read and think his approach will suit us.

For hounding out purposes “Appleton Must Go” fits better than Heckingbottom.

Am I the only one who thinks "There's only one Hecking Bottom!" sounds a bit dubious?

I really don't see what Heckingbottom and Appleton have on their CV to merit being frontrunners. We need an appointment to unite the fans, many who feel we have just lost an outstanding Manager in unknown circumstances. I would love to be proven wrong but I don't see either of these 2 candidates doing it; at best, either would be a very risky appointment at a time we need strong leadership.

Appointment of a manager is different from signing a player in that you sign many players and a signing that doesn't work out can always be dropped to the bench.
Signing a manager is something which I think it's far more natural to say "not for me" when discussing it.
As long as they get behind the new manager when he's in.
I also don't see an issue with being won over by how they actually do - many were unimpressed by NL but won round by some good performances and results.

I'm sure we'll hear in due course, just concerned it seems to be between Heckingbottom and Appleton.

Appleton for me.
I listened to both their podcasts and think they both came across well but Appleton’s reputation as being a great coach that the players will really like shades it. Imo I think after Lennon we need to go for someone that the players will enjoy working with and I think that’ll be the case with him.
On a side note disappointing to see so many smart arse replies on this thread, it’s a pretty clear poll, out of the two, who would you prefer? If the answer is neither, or another choice there’s plenty other threads for that.
Interesting to see how many people are writing them off based on their Wikipedia page rather than looking into the actual history of what happened at each club.
