ALC Fox Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Long-term, who knows? If he stays as assistant under Puel he could be the next manager after him. He somewhat rebuilt his reputation at Oxford after previously taking jobs at clubs on severe downward spirals. When he first went into management there were some very good things said about him. But, the job has become available too soon for him. He's happy as assistant, which he's stated a couple of times now.

Corky Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 He should stay as assistant, having a good, consistent coaching set-up has worked for us before when Ranieri arrived (and that's why it is a shame Shakespeare has gone completely). The players have responded to him in the past week so keep him on and allow the new manager to settle in whilst gaining knowledge from those already in place.
Stephen Hughes Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Must be a wind up, we were poor first half

If Apple was given the job I can see him gone by January. Would love Pellegrini. Is it going to happen I doubt it.
justfoxes Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Haven’t we been there before and it didn’t work out, even tho I like the bloke I feel we need a manager with a certain quality a manager that has seen it done it got all the tshirt etc etc ? Appleton is a great leader and it shows he is passionate but we need something with that certain je ne sais quoi an Ancelotti Pellegrini or even Dyche and we need to sort it out soon before the Toffees gazump us !!
surrifox Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 MA has said he would like to see out his contract as assistant . No reason to believe that shouldn't be taken at face value . He looks like he could make a contribution to the club in the support role rather than take the flak that managers inevitably attract

HighPeakFox Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 This thread proves that people don't read, don't think but do react.
Guest TaggertvsWise Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 As most things in life it is very easy to be something someone isn’t but standing on your own 2 feet and actually building something unique based on your own qualities is a lot harder. It’s a no from me, he’ll/we’ll be better off with Appleton as the no.2
sishades Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Appleton has been at the core of the improvement , but may just get pipped to be manager. If he does leave it will just be another Appleton Over.....(Ill get my coat)
adam Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 I wouldn't give him the job but would want him to stay on as assistant. It would be very harsh on him if he was sacked.

mozartfox Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Must be kept on as Number 2. Need to overhaul some other coaching positions to freshen things up in tandem with the new Manager. Plus the academy needs looking at. Scouting and recruitment needs to visit Holby General. Major surgery required.

lgfualol Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Should see how we play against a team that isnt either shit or a B team first
sishades Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 His tenure could still prove to be ...ahem.....fruitful.
Tielemans63 Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Talk of him getting the top job is just plain daft but I really hope Puel (if it is him) has the good sense to keep him as his number 2 as he's clearly a very good coach. Would be disappointed if he's binned off.
purpleronnie Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 Got to love football fans, you win in the league against a very poor Swansea side, beat a lower league team in the cup and suddenly people think he's the man for the job. Shakespeare was the first British manager to win his first 4 premiership games and who can forget seville, now I can understand the call for him to be manager...and we know how that turned out. So lets just chill and get a little perspective.
Sionnach gorm Posted 24 October 2017 Posted 24 October 2017 From Ranieri to Shakey to Appleton? Wow, we really are on a suicide mission!
