[Archived] New Manager Part 2 - With Poll

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Amazing potential appointment - can only assume nobody else would come.

Blackpool fans I have spoken to are a little split - in one way he has taken away the free flowing football - but he has apparently made them more difficult to beat. To be honest they seem pretty apathetic as to whether he stays or goes.

Amazing - we could have had the previous Blackpool manager - but instead end up with another rookie - go figure.

Do they realise the Blackpool manager we wanted left and went to Palace or do they still think they are getting Holloway the dozy @#/?

[Guest Norbert]

Suppose Ian is bald, and maybe we all 'look the same' to the Raos, so they just keep picking bald white guys until they get the right one.

Well it's rumoured they didn't think we could be relegated from PL !

Well if dezzer has released this statement to gauge reaction of fans, and is reading this thread, here goes:

You may as well keep bowyer than pay a load of compo for such an underwhelming appointment, and save that money to strengthen the defence and centre midfield!

[gumboots]

Shows how far we've had our expectations lowered as the board is not in meltdown at this underwhelming news.

[Andy]

Absolutely disgraceful appointment if it's made.

Interested to hear what the Action Group people have to say, following Glen's recent bold statements (will resign from the group / no truth in Appleton / etc).

Seriously, seriously bad appointment.

And the sad thing is, I'm not one bit surprised.

[Rover_Shaun]

You are kidding???? About 8 pages over two topics in half an hour. Majority realistic and perplexed but as always you get a few fruitloops thrown in

Bang! There's the right reaction as far as I'm concerned. No point in appointing a very young, inexperienced manager in Appleton when Bowyer has done pretty well so far. Perhaps we're heading towards administration/new owners, and Appleton has experience of that sort of thing. Even the former might not be that bad compared to the keaning keanheads we have now.

[T.J.Newton]

A lot of people saying they 'barely know who he his' and 'its an awful/dreadful choice' in the same breath!

[Rover_Shaun]

NO I read ONE comment that said that.

[pk1875]

If we are going to gamble again, surely Bowyer would be a better gamble for remainder of season???

[sam_rovers]

another decision that makes no @#/? sense... great job venkys

[dwayne cage]

I' 'll get behind the guy if we get him. I prefer him than some of the scary names raised Peter Taylor, Judah Ali and Kevin MacDonald. Nowhere near my first choice though.

If it goes through my money is on O' Driscoll for the Blackpool job.

Think like anyone we should give the guy a chance

NEW OWNERS, hahaha keep smokin that stuff laddy.

you'd think Bowyer was getting sacked!!!, he's still going to be there and i now imagine he is going to play a massive part in helping any new manager settle in and get to know the squad, ect...

can people not at least try to be positive.

pretty much any new manager comes with a clean slate as far as im concerned(whether it be sparky, fat sam, berg, appleton, sir alex!)

Totally agree Bowyer has done a amazing job under the circumstances and deserves his chance

[Ricky]

Agree PK. I think we'd all be happy for Bowyer to see the season out if the alternative was Appleton.

Did I say new owners were likely? No.

And I can't be positive about this guy as it is yet another leap into the unknown. Just like Kean, Ince and Berg. Appleton may turn out to be good, but I doubt it.

[Andy]

I think unless the alternative was a proper manager (Hughes, etc), most of us would be happier keeping Bowyer in charge for the rest of the season.

3 good consecutive results in 3 games and got us looking like a team again.

I agree but I think unless it's someone amazing some fans will be disappointed. Surprised they can still be disappointed after the years of outright madness we have put up with

Yep ---those stupid fans again.

[Rover_Shaun]

WBA - 1 game, lost
Pompey - 51 games, won 13, drew 11, lost 27
Blackpool - 11 games, won 2, drawn 7, lost 2

Inspiring!!!!!!!!!!

[pk1875]

Could a poll go up?

Bowyer or Appleton?

[Guest Norbert]

I'm disappointed, as he's no different to what we have now (at best), or no different to what we had the last couple of times (at worst). If he turns out to be refreshingly competent like Bowyer and McPhillips, then great. But there is also a chance he may be like the latter. A pretty good chance.

[dwayne cage]

Yep ---those stupid fans again.

WTF??

What do you want me to say?

It's outrageous rabble rabble rabble

I think God should be in charge rabble rabble rabble

I get my hopes up all the time and cry myself to sleep when Venkys make another decision I' m not happy with rabble rabble rabble
