[Archived] Michael Appleton - New Rovers Manager

[Reedy You're A Star]

Seems convenient that its been a complete balls up on all sides and so suddenly Jerome Anderson did it..? Thought SEM and JA were top of Venky's @#/? list these days? Doesn't make sense to me.

[glen9mullan]

Deal was struck just under a week ago, all interviews been done by videolink direct to India.

Moyes (Davids Bother) and Anderson have been driving force in deal.

Its looking like statements done today were all part of a paper trail to cover the truth.

Source of this info is directly from India and from inside the Appleton camp.

No wonder everyone at Rovers were in the dark.

Agnew is on Holiday and Derek Shaw has been tieing up the paperwork, but this decision was taken out of the hands of everyone at Ewood Park

[Bundesburn]

Our favourite rumour-monger with an update to the Dastardly & Mutley did this now that has been disproved. Couldn't come up with a better one to get the pitchforks waving

To be fair, Kamy confirmed he was a C*NTARO just earlier. He's probably just bandwagoning that?

I've stopped caring. For the first time, when the missus said, "It's only football," I actually said, "You're right." I couldn't believe my own mouth. It's all been killed off, for me. No passion, no desire, no love. The club feels very distant from me, when, before, in those golden days of 13th in the Premiership, no matter where I was, I always felt close. Sitting in Australia watching Keith Gillespie fire in a belter against Utd at Ewood, 4 o'clock in the morning? Not a problem. I'm just very high up in the JW Stand. Now? It seems too much of a bother to watch on Friday, almost. It's like watching a really morbid soap opera, except you absolutely know that it's just going to end very soon and it'll be really, really sad.

If what Glen's saying is true, is it legal to approach another team's manager this way?

Glen, if this is the case, why were you saying yesterday that nothing in Appleton rumour ?

The question you perhaps should be asking is, Was Appleton approached, or was Appleton offered, you really could not make this stuff up,

Totally in shock

Glen, if this is the case, why were you saying yesterday that nothing in Appleton rumour ?

Because those at Ewood who were left in the dark where saying the same as they were unaware until late yesterday

[OJRovers]

If Appleton has been put there by Anderson I won't be supporting him.

Everyone at Ewood was in Dark on Tuesday, no-one knew a thing.

When betting came in I asked the question and everyone said no truth

[Kei]

Terrible, terrible news if the link back to the man with no name is true. We have lost the club to these people.

[darwenfish]

exactly how im reading it.

a last ditch effort from shebby/gm to rile the fans into meltdown, hope most people are strong enough to see through this nonsense

Shebby/GM don't need to be riling the fans the other incompetent lot do that themselves. Also, if you are suggesting that the club is being well run and its a ploy by Shebby and GM to make it seem otherwise then I have to ask you what are you smoking and can I get some?

[JAL]

Isnt Moyes brother very good friends with Steve Kean.

he asked you a straight question and you toyally switched it up.

Cant help feel they got this guy in quick as questions were being asked about just who was conducting the transfers at the club.

I've given you a bit of challenge recently perhaps because some of your comments / statements have come across as a bit vague.

Can I suggest that you try to be as open as you can be - you might find other fans will be more understanding if the issues are clearer.

Either way, surely there are legal issues here?

[T.J.Newton]

i forgot this is the time when the crazy paranoid conspiracy theorists come on.

im defo knocking off, enjoy yourselves.

Going to pass on what I was told in morning to FA, and have them look at it

[sns4ever]

well if there was ever a time for brag to step up the campaign against venkys this must be it,if its true about anderson then this is just kean 2?he is even bold,he wont be sacked whatever happens this is terrible news

[LDRover]

i forgot this is the time when the crazy paranoid conspiracy theorists come on.

Nah, you're right TJ. Your argument that this is all above board and normal is compelling and I'm with you.

Nothing to see here guys, business as usual.

Just like they looked into everything else?

Public pressure is the only way to expose this if true, it not in the interest of football administrators to investigate dodgy dealings. See no evil hear no evil and all that.

They can't even establish who owns a large number of football clubs, never mind investigating corruption involving a savvy and influential football agent.

Go on. Explain the rationality of the last 2 years!
