[Jez]

Can someone explain this obsession with Michael Appleton that chairmen seem to have?

bald and unproven

Well I object to that !!

What's wrong with being unproven ??

[boltonboris]

What sort of things are we talking, Boris?

Talking ice baths, treadmills pro zone, scouts GPS, heart rate monitors. All the things you'd find at clubs up and down the country and are taken for granted. Also reneged on financial promises to the staff minutes before signing. By then, there already signed off at Pompey.

Not only that above. But Oyston is apparently a right prick to work for.

I was actually told a story about Appleton, Oyston and a laptop that made me piss myself. But I'll leave that to your imagination.

No no come on , let's hear it

Done deal apparently with Blackpool already looking elsewhere.

[jaffka]

What is the compensation they have paid and how long is his contract?

[bwfcdan94]

Appleton is alright I know I would rather have him then OC, luckily Coyle has gone though soo I do not have to make such a decision or even consider it.

[ChrisC]

What is the compensation they have paid and how long is his contract?

I would guess around 44107700.00 rupees and around 80+ A4 sheets from start to finish

they have already paid out for Kean, Berg plus the backroom staff who got sacked. They are paying fortunes out in compo already and will now have to give Blackpool some.

I would imagine it will cost next to nothing to get Appleton because he was only on a rolling 12 month deal.

The Blackpool job has Owen Coyle's name written allover it now IMO.

[ChrisC]

Appleton confirmed on a 2 & half year deal.

[Harry Genshaw]

I can well believe that Appleton found things a bit backward at Blackpool but as in the case of Jordan Rhodes, why on earth go to the comedy roadshow that is Blackburn at the moment?

[newcarsmell]

Wouldn't it be great if they lost tonight after that amazing 3 game winning streak ?

Money. For himself and to spend on the team.

If two sets of wankers want you to work for them, you aswell go to the one with the most money.

Seems to be a bit of a draw specialist this Appleton fella..

7 / 11 at Blackpool

1 / 1 at Blackburn

Let the good times roll !

He wasn't involved with the team tonight in anyway. Just rang the man on temp charge to wish him luck.

Meanwhile,

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has accepted substantial damages from Steve Kean over claims he was sacked by Blackburn because he was a "crook".

The amount will be paid in used notes and handed over in a brown paper bag at Newport Pagnell service station.

[jaffka]

So even more compo to pay out

[Salford Trotter]

I drink with Michael's dad Tony most weekends, he's a sparky by trade and a decent sort. I'll share what I can and the TW will be the first to hear
