Appleton back to Oxford?

[AjcW]

He came here because it was the quickest way of him becoming a manager in the championship after not being given transfer money at Oxford.

 

He’ll he managing a side in the championship next season no doubt about it. 

 

He he knows exactly what he’s doing.

Wouldn’t bother me either way

CP:  Que fais-tu samedi prochain, Michel?

MA: Can you say that in English, mate?

CP: What are you doing this Saturday?

MA: Claude, we’re playing Watford right here.

CP: I need a bouncer for my daughter’s birthday party.  Pascal can handle the touchline with me.

MA: I’m outta here.

[Bayfox]

Bloke quits no.1 job to become no.2 in the hope it progresses his career.

 

Same bloke manages to hang on to the gig after change of boss.

 

Yeah bloke thinks  going back down 3 steps seems good idea.

[StriderHiryu]

Surely there's no chance of him going. He's building a very reputable CV by staying at Leicester and is learning a thing or two from CP.  He was on MOTD2 Extra this week and I have to say Appleton not only comes across well, but seems a lot more intelligent than his bouncer look suggests!

 

Stick around for a few seasons and he'll get a good Championship or even Premiership managers job. 

[Vindaloo FOX]

Appleton can learn a lot from a man like Puel, I think he will not be going anywhere.

Do you think they're on a "tu" basis ? Possible but unlikely IMO ?

[Clever Fox]

Surely there can't be any truth to this. It just doesn't make sense.

The key issue for me is AP. Is a '' Footballing Coach '' just like Puel. They both like the passing  and possession game. He could learn a lot from Puel and it seems like they get on well together.

 

So surely nothing to this.

[dannythefox]

Be on more money here than he would be at Oxford 7th in the league and doing fine. Why move in the first place if he’s going back.

He was speaking sarcastically and metaphorically at the same time.

I know for a fact there is a Psychology Professor on this board. 

My guess would beGerbold, not asking you to tell me, just using my analytical skills 

[WigstonWanderer]

Somewhat off topic, but is anyone else worried that Puel could get poached by Arse if Wenger goes at the end of the season?

No, I’d think not. But it’s a strange old world - not something I’m going to lose sleep over buddy.

Depends on how involved he feels, or whether it's another Ranieri / Shakespeare scenario, where allegedly they got slowly sidelined. Puel bought he own man in as well lets not forget.  If Appleton feels like he's not listened to and only there because the club wanted him there, then he might fancy a move back.

Inclined to agree. He won't get his TV appearances back at Oxford either  (thought he was very good on "The Debate" a few weeks ago as well).

I agree. He has a future as a tv pundit if things go sideways.

[Chester Dontlie]

Of course he'll stay. He's a human being after all. One couldn't possible live with the thought of making Pascal sad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[fuchsntf]

He was on Sky's live debate, last night. He said " no truth in the matter"

and confirmed he fought and as achieved his goal  to get to the PL.and is more than

happy to be working with Puel,and told the panel, he likes Puels style.He wont be considering moving for awhile.

 

End of speculation..methinks.

[5waller5]

Seems to be raising his profile via media appearances  - would suggest he's thinking of his next upwards move and not a retrograde one.
