Rover_Shaun Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It's not Appleton's fault Norbert Pick one or several from this list It's Kean's signings It's their lack of fitness All the amazing players are injured He hasn't had time to train properly because actual football has the temerity to get in the way It's the players playing long ball all by theirself It's Kean/Berg/Shebby/Swampy/El Nino/the Jet Stream that's to blame None of the first XI are Appleton signings (because they are all sh.t) It's all going to come right if we just cross our fingers and hope to god almighty in the heavens every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Norbert Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 OK Blue and White Army, we're not that far apart in our views on Appleton (you hate him, and I'm merely sceptical), but let's say he was binned tomorrow. Who would be better and available? I'd like names please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lathund Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Surely not? If true I wonder how they will mess up the search this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47er Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Wow? Didn't see this coming, not yet anyway. Mrs D obviously didn't have him down as a thinker! Will the next idiot please step forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurid Coat Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Appleton sacked, apparently. Venky's - the owners that just keep on giving! League One next? Or is a takeover on the cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyBRFC Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Andrew Cryer Unofficially it appears to be true. Appleton has been sacked. Club offering no comment though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeTownRover Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 ive just been asked by 2 friends of mine, if we have sacked Appleton. I just replied im not sure, and dont know. it wouldnt surprise me though, but if true, then im officially done for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDRover Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Wow! Unsurprising at a normal club but we're hardly that. I won't miss him though, can't think of anything he's brought to the table apart from a lowering of expectations and hollow words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeChuck Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Round and round we go. Please put Bowyer in charge until the end of the season and take a REASONED decision in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddboy Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Holy crap. We really are a shambles. Any stability that Appleton brought has now gone out of the window. Relegation a real, real possibility now. There must be something bigger going down.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckenny16 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well done Rovers. Never in a calendar year have I felt so embarrassed to be a Rovers fan. This is the club that just keeps on giving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Norbert Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hopefully, this and the Probiz nonsense means we'll be ytaken over by some reputable group/person and a decent manager will suddenly come in. More likely it'll be the result of some boardroom battle, family argument or whatever and then the club will crumble a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers11 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Shocking decision!!!!!!! Absolutely ludicrous. Hope the fans who wanted him gone are happy now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moerpho Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 If this is true it's getting beyond ridiculous! What manager would want to come to Rovers?!? Relegation is looking more and more likely...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnermeat Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 As if the club couldn't be cheapened any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Probably cheaper to sack Appleton than pay off the likes of Murphy, Etuhu etc. Wonder who's influence this has come from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDRover Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Shocking decision!!!!!!! Absolutely ludicrous. Hope the fans who wanted him gone are happy now! Why, was he doing a good job? Must have missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would be better and available? I'd like names please. I have answered that already. I have no idea as I no longer follow football to that extent. Everyone is potentially available. I just think that keeping the status quo is the worst option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
