Depends whether he gets the midfield to carry the ball forward at speed or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizerud Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Let’s see what happens. Have a feeling he’ll fuch himself by being conservative and pick the same lineup and tactics. Keep him around til the new manager bounce ends if it offers us the luxury of taking more time to get it right with the permanent appointment.

Sly Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Average at Blackpool and Blackburn. Left both around the 60 day mark I believe. However, I personally think he did a very good job with Oxford. A couple of FA Trophy finals, promotion as well. Wasn't he the Manchester United Youth Team captain around the time of the class of 92’? Or did I dream that?

He might be shit, but people slating him by association is just wrong. He's got more managerial experience than CS and got his last club promoted!

dayday Posted 18 October 2017 Author Share Posted 18 October 2017 He completely turned Oxford around , ask any Oxford fans they say he was one of the best managers they have ever had. Yes it's only temporary but let's get behind him, he derserved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he'll get a large pay-off, presumably, when he leaves but it's put a boulder in his career path. His decision to leave Oxford to become assistant to Shakespeare reminded me very much of when Steve Cotterill quit as Stoke Manager a few months into his tenure to become assistant to Howard Wilkinson at Sunderland. That was a terrible and inexplicable move which set his career back years. I remember every time a job vacancy occurred after that the Stoke fans would be on the message-boards with "don't touch Quitterell" comments. Mind, I don't know why there's quite so much vitriol against Appleton on here. I'd be astonished if he got the job but unlike Shakespeare he has considerable management experience.

Trouble is, for me, why would he be any better? He has been assisting the manager who has failed. The manager went to him, presumably, for ideas/tactics etc. Surely an assistant can't be any better than the man who failed. Also Appleton's only decent spell was in charge of Oxford. He did really well with them but other than that nothing. I'm hoping he comes up with something different on Saturday but I can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apparently a Leicester fan thing to wildly overcredit the assistant for everything that happens He's not really qualified for this job but I'm assuming it's gonna be a short term thing. I can never understand why teams don't have someone lined up though, did they really only decide to sack him on Monday night? What were they doing for the two weeks before that?

We have no idea what the manager did or didn't do in terms of involving him or his ideas, that's the point. People slating someone In those circumstances is just ridiculous. Especially when it's for a couple of games and the other option is what? Top picking the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon..you have posted a few times on this topic... Every Single one a winner... I dont understand like you, why some fans are jumping up with presumptions and creating a negative argument on them. We are in a deep-hole has it is, then so called fans wanting to grab a spade and dig deeper. Appletons appointment was a good move, the historonics aftrerwards I doubt he had any part of it. Whether he can now stand up, and hold up his side, by helping us find Some stability in this twighlight zone, of being caretakermanager/coach Remains to be seen, but why not..!!! He needs now support from the terraces, and not dozos spouting Off useless Statements. I wish him well, lets see if he can tweek somethings, that gets the players pulling together, and producing on the field. We should get off Appletons back and get behind him....if successfull we gain, a potential good coach, to back up the new guy if still required...

We've been going backwards since we won the title, with a short respite of 'new manager bounce' when Shakespeare got appointed. Even 5 games into his reign we begun to regress again, performances were getting poorer before we started losing. I wouldn't touch Appleton with a ten foot clown pole in terms of the permanent appointment, but it's farfetched to blame him for any downward spiral or suggest he'll be a disastrous temporary appointment. Taking the way we've been playing into account, and the fact he'll likely be in charge for 2 or 3 matches, it's hardly an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
