    The mother of all circuses. Beyond that, I'm speechless.

    Warnock to Blackburn ?

    Who's gonna accept the job now ? certainly not someone who's already got one.
    Warnock has 6 weeks left on his contract, which is not being renewed by Leeds.

    the owners must be baldists.

    Berg, Kean & now Appleton.

    there will be plenty of takers, loads desperate enough to get back into management.

    I really couldn't understand why they appointed him in the first place. He took charge at Portsmouth & they were relegated. I admit that probably no one could have kept them up, but I couldn't see anything to suggest he was a good manager. He has Lee Clark's personality & Voldemart's appearance.

    He did nothing special at Blackpool. The only reason Blackburn appointed him is because they are clueless.

    I bet big Sam's sides are splitting. It was a ridiculous decision to sack Allardyce & appoint Kean & I'm glad they are struggling. I hope the same happens to W Ham if they sack Big Sam.

    I hope the same thing happens to West Ham whether they sack him or not.

    Parky maybe...

    The only reason Appleton keeps getting a job is I guess because he's cheap. Parky fits the bill perfectly

    It's a no brainer for an out of work manager. If you do well, it raises your profile for better things and if you fail you get a nice pay off.

    Bizarre as to why he left Blackpool for them though, can't have much sympathy for him.

    I predict Blackburn will get relegated next season, absolute shambles at the moment. Having potentially 4 managers in one season is unbelievable.

    Michael Appleton is a rubbish manager anyway, never understood how he got that job.

    If not parky then maybe Di Canio

    Now that would be entertainment

    No way will di Canio go there, he wouldn't last 5 games.

    They gave Leon Best 35k a week. Owners deserve to go down.

    There are a lot of things that are not exactly ideal about the current ownership of our football club, but let's face it, this just shows exactly how much worse it could be! I am now dreading CP shaving his head and heading north for a 'new challenge'...

    Too far north for Curbs

    Anyway, can safely say he'd never get involved with that lot

    A Venky's chicken lasts longer than the Blackburn manager.

    Madness. Hope they go down but no sympathy for Appleton after he left Blackpool so quickly.

    Compared to some Boards, TJ and MS have the patience of saints.

    They sacked Adkins.

    But he's bald so will last 2 months before the sack.

    But this is the guy who was genuinely surprised when Portsmouth went down the financial plughole after he took over. Clearly not someone who pays much attention to the news...
