Blackburn want Appleton!

Bradford's manager has turned down chance to go for the Blackppol job. Hard for him to leave Bradford at this time.

I can't see Parkinson still being in charge of Bradford at the start of next season. He'll see out this season and then a Championship club will poach him.
 
I don't begrudge him leaving Portsmouth (although the manner he did it was totally wrong) but leaving so soon after Blackburn shows a complete lack of loyalty to the club who gave him an opportunity after the drama of Portsmouth.

Clearly he's not a Hufflepuff, actually I'd see him more of a Slytherin.

I agree - I thought he had a lot of dignity when he was at Pompey - not now though.
