Appleton is a terrible manager who never should have been appointed but we do need to get our heads around the fact that he isn’t going anywhere for now. He’ll get a month or two with these players and if the results even moderately improve I would expect him to be in place next season unfortunately. But if we do sack him, who wants to join us? Nobody good. We’re in a shit situation all round.
Appleton will not be going anywhere, he will have this season and at least until November next year.. so I would just get behind him..
I think we will see a lot of improvements now
Not seen anyone say CBT was dropped.
Hope you mean November this year? If so then November it is, but a waste of time and another season I'm afraid. Might as well bin him off now and be done with it.
You need to give a manager a chance, with the players he wants, and be given the tools.. post January I will start to judge him
Yeah let's just ignore a quarter of the season because a manager can't manage.
So is the probationary period for every manager, ignoring any past managerial experience, a quarter of a season? Seems short sighted to me as that's potentially 3 managerial changes during every season, as if we weren't already a laughing stock!
Maybe we shouldn't make permanent appointments, and have guest managers for blocks of games.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not confident Appleton is the man, but a quarter of a season is nothing in managerial terms. Players can be out injured for longer, and quite often ours are.

I'm talking about the 1 win in 11.
He's been manager for 25 games. 19 games in League One. Appointed at the beginning of September. I've seen enough in the 4 and a half months he's been in charge that tells me he's no real improvement over Holden.
If you want to look at his past managerial experience he gets even worse.

Mate, don’t know who you are, but you bore me with your constant negativity..And not allowing the owners a chance. Rome wasn’t built in a day..
Today is the only day for me, he has got tactically wrong, before this, we have had a depleted squad, with over hyper youngsters playing!
He's won 1 game in 11. And you think today is the only day he's been tactically wrong? Do you watch our games or just get told how well we play by your sources?
Issues before today has been the lack of players.. it hasn’t been great, and no one has said it has been.. but what’s the point of recruiting players for a manager then sacking them, then another manager comes in with a different ideas???
He needs a chance with what he wants, then judge..
And when we finish midtable and then start next season poorly we will have wasted millions on a manager that does not have the skills to get us promoted.
Today is a prime example. He's got better players available, he loses the game because he puts them into the wrong set-up and we get dominated in the first half. This isn't the first time it's happened and it certainly won't be the last. Hasn't got a clue.
As I said, he got today wrong! Personally I wouldn’t have appointed him at the start, as I have said a number of times. But we have him now, and we need to give him the time and tools..
As Browny and Curbs said, these owners are in it for the long term, and they have the ambition to get us back, it isn’t an over night fix. But chopping and changing managers isn’t the answer
What's just as frustrating is he doesn't react early enough. Waiting until half time when it was plain to see nothing was working isn't good enough, we just ended up wasting a half. Though part of me was surprised he changed things then as he's so stubborn.

I thought the point was you recruit players for a system so that when you sign a new manager you get one that will play that same system so you don't constantly have a churn of players. That's what we've been told and hence why Holden went because he changed system.
Holden went because things changed behind the scenes, training style and other things that was happening!

It is if he isn't the right man for the job. Admit they got it wrong and get the right person in now. It'll save them time and money in the long run.
He was a poor appointment, I said it at the time. Sacking Holden and replacing him with Apples wasn’t the answer. We needed a manager with momentum instead we have a journeyman with no successes. He needs to be sacked. Replaced now with a manager who will steady the ship and build for next season.

Not going to happen, and they believe as a coach he is very good., also, he is good at up managing (hence the signings).. something that Holden failed to do..

You don't know this You're just telling us what you've been told Despite my concerns over the validity of some things you are told, I'm glad you do tell us.
Surely though, when it comes to tactics and set up, Appleton has seen how much better we, and Alfie May are when he has another central forward on the pitch?
Ideally Miles or Chuks but even with Kanu it's SO clear we're better.
So why, with 1 win in 13, does he refuse to start a game in that set up?

This season is written off, and as I said a number of weeks ago, this window and the rest of the season is getting them on song for a real promotion chase. This window and the summer window has big budgets
I'd sack Appleton tonight and have a serious conversation with Michael Duff.
We are starting to bring in the players suit his preferred 3412/352, we have a player in Alfie May who he has worked with for years prior to us, proven record at this level.
3 manager of the month awards in league one, manager of the season league 2. Our current manager has never won a manager of the month award which is quite telling..
Just a no brainer for me. We apparently have cash, prove it and get a proper manager, then we can build now

Get that with Appleton, and I wasn’t a fan of his appointment, but I have only heard good things about him since being at the club. Yes results are not great at the moment, but need to give him the tools, which he is getting. And to be honest, he is getting the best.

It is if he isn't the right man for the job. Admit they got it wrong and get the right person in now. It'll save them time and money in the long run.
Not going to happen, and they believe as a coach he is very good., also, he is good at up managing (hence the signings).. something that Holden failed to do..
Being better than Holden isn't a reason to keep somebody who appears to not be up to the job.
I don't want us to be a merry go round any longer but I can't see anything he's doing that is going to be beneficial to us short, medium or long term.
Appleton will not be going anywhere, he will have this season and at least until November next year.. so I would just get behind him..
I think we will see a lot of improvements now
Not seen anyone say CBT was dropped.
Hope you mean November this year? If so then November it is, but a waste of time and another season I'm afraid. Might as well bin him off now and be done with it.
You need to give a manager a chance, with the players he wants, and be given the tools.. post January I will start to judge him
Yeah let's just ignore a quarter of the season because a manager can't manage.
Mate, don’t know who you are, but you bore me with your constant negativity..And not allowing the owners a chance. Rome wasn’t built in a day..
Today is the only day for me, he has got tactically wrong, before this, we have had a depleted squad, with over hyper youngsters playing!
He's won 1 game in 11. And you think today is the only day he's been tactically wrong? Do you watch our games or just get told how well we play by your sources?
Issues before today has been the lack of players.. it hasn’t been great, and no one has said it has been.. but what’s the point of recruiting players for a manager then sacking them, then another manager comes in with a different ideas???
He needs a chance with what he wants, then judge..
I thought the point was you recruit players for a system so that when you sign a new manager you get one that will play that same system so you don't constantly have a churn of players. That's what we've been told and hence why Holden went because he changed system.
Holden went because things changed behind the scenes, training style and other things that was happening!

Incredible commitment to the company line, fair play.
Comments
Interesting comments about him getting it tactically wrong today. What was it particularly?
Maybe we shouldn't make permanent appointments, and have guest managers for blocks of games.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not confident Appleton is the man, but a quarter of a season is nothing in managerial terms. Players can be out injured for longer, and quite often ours are.
He's been manager for 25 games. 19 games in League One. Appointed at the beginning of September. I've seen enough in the 4 and a half months he's been in charge that tells me he's no real improvement over Holden.
If you want to look at his past managerial experience he gets even worse.
As Browny and Curbs said, these owners are in it for the long term, and they have the ambition to get us back, it isn’t an over night fix. But chopping and changing managers isn’t the answer
You're just telling us what you've been told
Despite my concerns over the validity of some things you are told, I'm glad you do tell us.
Surely though, when it comes to tactics and set up, Appleton has seen how much better we, and Alfie May are when he has another central forward on the pitch?
Ideally Miles or Chuks but even with Kanu it's SO clear we're better.
So why, with 1 win in 13, does he refuse to start a game in that set up?
It's very poor management.
believe what you want, but it’s funny, soon as other people say stuff, you believe it..
agree May is better when someone along side him, but he had 2 alongside first half.. the issue was we was over run in the middle of the park!
We are starting to bring in the players suit his preferred 3412/352, we have a player in Alfie May who he has worked with for years prior to us, proven record at this level.
3 manager of the month awards in league one, manager of the season league 2. Our current manager has never won a manager of the month award which is quite telling..
Just a no brainer for me. We apparently have cash, prove it and get a proper manager, then we can build now
Sometimes you just need to admit that you've made the wrong decision and take action. Appleton will never get us promoted.
Simple
