Just jumped on for a quick look. Anyone else get rumours of Michael Appleton of Lincoln replacing Parkinson? My whelm would be distinctly undered if that happened
He took oxford up from league 2 once but has been at car crash clubs every time. Not sure if that is coincidence or lack of ability. Would fit in well at SAFC
Sorry just replying. Yeah I get your point i would rather we go for someone new tho totally. Fresh ideas a full new coaching staff too.
Michael Appleton would be a fantastic appointment in my opinion. Really highly regarded at the clubs he’s been at. I actually met him in a coffee shop in Shoreditch shorty after we appointed Jack Ross. I sat with him for a bit and he told me that he was on the verge of signing the contract to become our manager before Leicester suddenly pulled the plug as they wanted him to stay. Then we moved on and got Ross. I got the impression he was very intelligent and talked brilliantly about football and how it should be approached to get a team promoted out of League One. He seemed disappointed to have not gotten a chance as our manager. Would love him here. Think he’d do well.
His name seems to have been mentioned a few times over a number of years. I must admit that he wasn’t someone I’d have chosen myself as he has seemingly had a mixed career to date. Better than Parkinson but that’s a subterranean bar. Hope we have someone better in line but we’ll see.
