    Good work, have to admit I wouldn't have fancied that one.

    I'll console myself with the £90 I made last night when I realised bet365 had Michu at 9/1 for 1st goal scorer. Mugs!

    I've got no problems with Appy, but I don't see how this is good for him or Blackburn. They desperately need someone with experience.

    Didn't see that coming. It's not like he's a fantastic manager.

    No doubt if Appy gets the job, it will block any chance of us getting Matt Phillips!

    That didn't come out right, try again, if he goes to Blackburn it will mean that MP will probably stay at Blackpool, at least I think that's what I meant, any way do we still want him?

    I guess so and he seems to have picked up more than his share of injuries.

    It is interesting about "Appy" Not sure that Blackburn is a step in the right direction for him although undoubtably a bigger club and all that. Was surprised he was given permission to talk to them. I had heard on the grapevine that he was not exactly a happy bunny in Blackpool, no reasons that I can share. He hasn't bought a house up there I gather yet...so would not be a hassle to move across I guess. Has he been offered the job?

    As for Matty Phillips.......I don't think he is the player for us. Certainly no better than we have.....JMO.

    Blackburn are set to appoint Appleton after the owners have approved the appointment from India.

    He did ok at Portsmouth when you consider the situation with players leaving all around him and could understand the first move to Blackpool, but when did he become such hot property. Wonder how the 'Pool fans feel?

    Why are their owners so obsessed with bald managers? Try a manager with hair - it will fall out after a couple of games anyway.

    Appleton isn't just bald...he's down to his skull. Alas poor Yorick!

    Appleton has signed a 2 and half year contract, wonder how long he'll last.

    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.
