[Archived] Michael Appleton - New Rovers Manager

[A cup of beans]

Shaw choice. Goodnight Shebby!

Underwhelmed again! think I should be used to it

His 2 wins, arent they against us and Peterbro after we thumped em ?????

[Stuart]

Well his Portsmouth record was at a club shedding players by the dozen, starting the season with a squad literally thrown together at the last minute. Maybe that will happen at Ewood in the future but his record was never going to be good in those circumstances. Shankly and Mourinho would've struggled!

Did you see his application form?

[Gally]

not a great appointment but what do we expect? venkys couldnt give a stuff about us, they want a cheapo manager but at least appleton has learned the hard way, if it doesnt work out then surely SURELY the next time venkys WILL go for an experienced manager

The really frustrating thing though is that we'll have to pay compensation, and he'll be more expensive than the likes of Billy Davies or even Phil Brown.

maybe we will make a move for tom ince??

[ABBEY]

The knob end mafia is @#/?!!

Think that's me over the edge .

Venkys can have it if it happens.

Why the knob end love in ?? These two turds got nobbers to l1 .... They are all scum!!

[dunc]

Personally I'd have O'Driscoll or anyone with a decent track record.

The phrase 'underwhelmed' is used a lot on here. What appointment would have people 'overwhelmed' given we are a mid table Championship club?

Wake up! ????

Appleton choice is better than appointing Taylor, Dickov or Brown tbh.

[roverandout]

i was kidding!!

1.2M to Kean, nearly 3 years wages to Berg, compensation to Sam, compensation to Blackpool= no money for players, maybe some enforced sales of whatever talent is left.

What a bunch of meaning losers.

But Taylor Dickov and Brown should be nowhere near consideration either.

Im all for positivity Chaddy, but i'm unconvinced.

[roverandout]

why not pay the 2 mill for poyet??

[steven]

Venkys Out ,Shaw Out ! Agnew Out ! Singh Out !

We are heading for adminstration the sooner the better if it gets these idiots out of the club !

[Clitherover]

Sod off ugly bald monkey man, don't want you at Ewood stay put.

I hope the protests are back on if we employ this muppet. Not happy at all!

Responses like this are probably exactly why Taylor, Ali and MacDonald's names were leaked in the first place. Let's face it, if Appleton had been offered after Kean had been sacked everybody would have been furious. Even immediately after Berg's sacking I don't think he'd have generated any positive response.

Now, because some of the worst names ever were leaked, he's a good appointment? Don't think so.

i was kidding!!

Sorry. I'm touchy!

[Amo]

Mrs. Desai is a sucker for a shaved head.

That's all I got.

[roverandout]

Sorry. I'm touchy!

no worries!!

Sorry but we heard all this about Berg. Not having conclusive proof that someone is a bad manager doesn't even come close to indicating they're a good one. But who cares anymore, this is one long horrible nightmare that we can't wake up from, I think I'll go and quietly surrender myself to insanity (or start watching Stanley).

[LDRover]

Whichever way you turn there are shyster, chancers and bullsh1tters.

Come clean Venky's, what do you really want?

[OJRovers]

Kean, Berg, Appleton

Is it too much to ask for the idiots to appoint someone with relevant experience in the league we're in?

[T.J.Newton]

I'm fine with it, it's no more or less of a risk than any other of the recently mentioned managers, Most important factor for me is that if he gets the job EVERYBODY(coughcough Singh!) at the club must be 100% behind him or be removed from the club.

It's a tissue paper thickness step up from those 3. Two of them are proven failures, what's this guy done that's better than Dickov ? Singh had his puppet and cocked it up now Shagnew will have theirs. Im just about past giving a stuff now. Clubs owned/infected and run by Vermin !

[booth]

Appleton choice is better than appointing Taylor, Dickov or Brown tbh.

Appleton choice is better than Jimmy Cricket, Barry Chuckle or Joe Pasquale tbh.

Sign him...

[Tom]

I wonder if Shebby even knew about this fully
