Appleton for the job

Recommended Posts

What do we think?

 

I have to say I've been massively  impressed. 

I feel he's given himself a right chance after last 2 games. 

Surely he deserves a little delay in the decision - minimum. 

 

Top and Vichi will be scratching their heads that's for sure.

Yes! Certainly no harm giving him longer to prove himself given the shite we've been linked with/interviewed. However, John Percy has said Puel will be announced tomorrow.

it's going to Puel.

 

If it were to go to Appleton right now, we'd be in a position where he loses or draws a few games in a row and people will be calling for his head and in the same position we're in now. Appleton has said he doesn't even want the manager's role and is happy to honour his contract as an assistant manager. 

 

I presume the owners have sought out a manager who would keep Appleton as an assistant manager anyway. Puel is that person.

Surprised it’s taken this long for this topic to appear.

 

Ok we’ve played well and won the last 2 and he’s more of a manger figure than Shakey ever was... but I’m not fully sold on him and think those in charge would rather bring someone in this time.

No way. Let’s learn from every number 2 ever, going into the number 1 role being crap. 

Apple has been a number 1 many times in the lower leagues

NO.

 

He did a very good job and I was really delighted by his subs tonight. But as I said in another thread, no point sacking a newbie to give the job to another one. It was just Leeds B team anyway :ph34r:.

If we were the the championship he'd be a good candidate and he might go on to be a great manager but he's not what we need at the minute.

New manager bounce. If he keeps it up, even if they give him to the end of the season, it's a massive gamble again to give him a 2 year contract next summer. They've just had their fingers burnt by doing exactly that. Can't see them risking the same mistake again.

It won't happen and nor should it, yes we've won both games but Leeds were rubbish tonight, they didn't challenge us at all apart from that goal.

 

No point in getting carried away with it after two games, and the owners want a big manager with experience and surely the pulling power to attract decent players...

Let me rephrase, let’s learn from every number two ever, slotting into the number one role at their current clubs, being crap :)

No although I don’t want Puel either. 

 

 

A bit underwhelming but I'd rather have him than Pardew and Allardyce.

Over Pardew yes definitely. Not a big fan of Allardyce but don’t think he’d take any shit
