Fox92 Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Weird. He's still Oxford manager isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 That is very odd seeing as he's already in a managerial job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 well, that was unexpected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Interesting. I firmly trust in Shakey's judgement of the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Be surprised if he says yes. He's got a good thing going at Oxford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateWinner Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Unexpected but great if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, very impressive what he's achieved there, be a good addition though and he may think it could raise his profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think an assistant manager at Leicester with no disrespect to oxford is a step up and a damn site more in the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becoming an assistant isn't a step up when you're a manager though. He's done well at Oxford, I think they've made JPT final for two years running, dunno why he'd want to leave. I know he obviously knows Shakespeare from WBA though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chico1958 Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Uninspired, but if Shakespeare wants him............. We have to believe it's OK He is ambitious as well, lets hope it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he would know the finances and probably knows he's took them as far as he can. He can also perhaps accept they are punching above there weight.

foxes21 Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 He'd be another person at the club with a Man Utd connection. Mike Phelan & Warren Joyce would be solid acquisitions also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39006464 He might feel like he, together with Shakey, have a point to prove. Seems a great man-manager as well, from interviews with Oxford players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinekersApples Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Huge "signing" if true. A really well respected manager/coach in the game. the first time I've been excited about new blood in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Can't see why anyone would be underwhelmed by this. The bloke's made something from nothing. All sorts could be a successful manager with limitless funds and limited financial competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Imo would be a great addition, as long as he isn't continually looking for a championship job whilst he is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Definitely the ugliest of the Appleton sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphericalfox Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 What attributes does him bring to the job despite working with zero budgets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Apparently Appleton's highly-respected, due to his work with England behind the scenes. He's got the experience and can imagine him working well with Shakespeare. Mike Stowell would probably remain as goalkeeping coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Wasn't he a coach here once, around the Adams era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
