[Archived] Michael Appleton - New Rovers Manager

[sharpysharps]

Bet Danny Murphy will be back in the side now!

In fact, I bet he'll be our sodding manager!

Bowyer until the end of the season according to the BBC. Like him but not the answer long term.

For anyone who was worried about relegation isn't this a reason to celebrate?

He already turned the team round once after Berg messed it up. At least he's got a more solid foundation to work from this time.

What happens when we go on another bad run? With the team we have, that is more than liklely. Do we sack the manager again?

[thenodrog]

Enough. Boycott the rest of the season for me.

Eh? What does he know about football? I'd rather have Goughie in charge!

again its clear that Appleton knew which areas were problematic. There were still loads of dross in this squad, who would have been cleared out by MA in the summer. Now, those keany players who are here for the money only, will just try and persuade the new manager Ronald Macdonald why they are ready to battle for him. This is the most ridiculous decision thus far, or well at least for the last 2 months.

If only Venkys had sacked Kean after 2 months while we were in the Premier League, but no, they gave him 2 and half years.

No odds offered on oddschecker yet.

Is anyone going to attend the Blackpool match now? This isn't just about Appleton, I said last week we were in serious trouble anyway. This is about the people upstairs. It's like a @#/? circus. Not one person should go to that Blackpool game. Twitter would suggest that the media are on our side now. A completely empty Ewood would speak volumes.

Exactly! Good point. Appleton would have made big changes in the same and got rid of that dross. Now they get another chance to show how useless they are!

[rog of the rovers]

Presumably this means

Westwood, Moore, the fitness coach and the goalkeeper coach have also gone?
