CumbrianRam Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Blackburn Rovers have approached Blackpool for permission to speak to Tangerines boss Michael Appleton about the managerial vacancy at Ewood Park. Rovers sacked Henning Berg on 27 December but have won their last three games under caretaker Gary Bowyer. Appleton, 37, only joined Blackpool from Portsmouth in November as a replacement for Ian Holloway. Rovers managing director Derek Shaw said: "He is the only candidate we have approached." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20967683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 On the subject of managers... Pep Guardiola met Sir Alex Ferguson in New York recently. Pep was asked if he wanted to follow in the footsteps of the man responsible for the trophy laden years at Old Trafford. Sir Alex was a bit peeved when pep replied he had no intention of becoming a ref........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbiean Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Appleton would be daft to go there with those bunch of owners, utter ****** the lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 He was daft enough to take on Portsmouth, Blackburn would be a perfect match. When his time is up next month he'll be on the scrap heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 He was daft enough to take on Portsmouth, Blackburn would be a perfect match. When his time is up next month he'll be on the scrap heap. Bit premature to predict his appointment at Forest I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but at least at Pompey he was given time to...well...stay in the job 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Why in God's name do clubs keep allowing folk to talk to their managers? Either there's good compo involved here (Blackburn are likely to pay stupid fee's, based on previous evidence) or Karl Oyston doesn't like Mr Appleton as much as he thought he would and has decided to cut his losses. Still, good riddance if he does go, a club brings you from a situation like Pompey and you bugger off to Blackburn within a few months for a few extra quid a week. How kind.

BorneoRam Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 After granting my wish and having Forest sign Big Eck, I would now like to ask Santa to send Shebby Singh to Forest, I know it is a bit late being January and all but pleasse!!!! I really think they really need him. Oh and Rob Green as keeper on 50k a week would be nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralRam Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Why the **** would you go for Appleton as your ONLY candidate? He did alright at Pompey I suppose, but Blackpool he has been ***** and has done nothing to make himself stand out. He's only been in charge for 2 months too! Shows where his loyalty lies.
