His apples are sour now
APPLETON did a great job at Lincoln taking the team to the play off final(beaten by blackpool) and all that done on a bag of tapwashers...lincoln were skint.
He played the best brand of passing football i have seen for years and this was done with players who couldn`t trap a bag of cement...he had no choice or budget.
Contacts are still in his book and he has links into Man city(lewis fiorinimorgan rogers) and picked up brennan johnson from forest plus brooke norton cuffy from ARSENAL(A SERIOUS TALENT).......david kerslake his sidekick.
Went out the door at Lincoln due to the wanky set up with the Dof ,JEZ GEORGE......sending the manager lads who he had scouted bit were not good enough and only ready for the scrapheap.
APPLETON has had a cancer scare (sorted)and his missus is northern based so might be difficult to persuade to go south......again.
With the kack currently lined up for the pompey job at the moment APPLETON IS CERTAINLY WORTH CONSIDERATION and he would unload the dross out of the squad in an instant.........only wants technical players not carthorses......see you Ragget?
What about his time at Blackpool x 2 and Blackburn?
In the current situation Blackpool are shooting above their weight in the Champ and any promoted side from division one will have a hard task retaining their position expecially without any funds.....owners are smoking dope if they think they can retain their position in the Champ on fresh air ,in a division of big clubs willing to go into debt to the tune of 50 million plus trying to get to the holy grail.
Just bad luck then huh……
