What if Appleton already has a job lined up (Sunderland) - which would explain perhaps why they weren’t sitting next to each other Palace.

That would certainly complicate matters when it comes to sacking Puel. Who takes over?

Sunderland is a poisoned chalice why would he go there ? there’s a chance he could take over as interim manager here when we lose Saturday’s match v West Ham and he sees us to our inaugural win v Arsenal in the Prem. ?. 

just like Alan Evans v Arsenal in 94-95 season before he joined Brian Little at Villa. Think stick Ormondroyd scores that night. 

[Wymsey]

Mick McCarthy is the favourite for the Sunderland job.

They barely ever engage in a regular conversation during matches, it's usually Puel talking or talking with his hands and Appleton just sitting there next to him, nodding.

Thats exactly why it stood out to me watching it he actually was talking back to Puel they didnt look to be in full agreeance ......it was more interesting watching that for 30 seconds than the entire half of football that day!

Telegraph reports WBA approaching Appleton.

Did Martin Keown score an own goal that night or was it Sticks?

Keown played but it was Ormondroyd and David Lowe who scored for us and Ian Wright penalty for them ;-)

 

[coolhandfox]

Needs to go away, whole place needa good shake up! 

[Weller Wing]

I think Keown must have had a bit of a nightmare for the goal then.

Not sure if it hit the post or went through his legs.

He won’t stay if Puel is. Probably feels like he’s going nowhere. I noticed that for the first time (I think) Puel was sat next to Plancque rather than Appleton at the game. 

He probably tried to explain Puel that you need to have shots on target to score goals rather than keep the ball at the back needlessly

Probably said, you win these games by putting the ball into that big net thing and was told, 'Non!! we will play football the Tottenham way, possession wins games not scores!"

[foxinsocks]

What are the stongest rumours about appleton . .where will he go to?

Probably do some shopping at Morrison's, maybe take in a movie and then hit the gym 

[norwichfox]

Although I'm in the Puel stay group (by the thickness of a gnats foreskin), I'd rather we kept Appleton and sent Puel to Sunderland.

[KJT]

Was he in the dug out, did not see him today or last game either?

 

 

[brownfox]

I don't get the love for Appleton he sits on the bench with his arms folded doesn't communicate with players and that's not just with Puel he did that u see previous managers too. Today when they had the stoppage yes puel didn't communicate but where was he? If puel goes I think he needs to go too!

[brownfox]

I was sitting behind the bench so if he wasn't there may explain his absence! 

[Fox92]

Does he ever fvcking a) move and b) remove his hands from his pockets

?

[Nigel Graham Pearson]

He was there. Sat next to the untouchable Stowelly, both sporting a face like a slapped arse.
