Appleton - positive comments ONLY

[JJpool]

Well, I'm going back on my vow not to re-new 3 season tickets because I love this club, but also to give him a fair chance .
At over £1000 I don't think the club could ask for more commitment considering the shit show of a country we are living in at the moment.

Good, but was a silly thing to say, a lot of the hate he's getting is unfair.

I think he'll be a good fit if we get behind the team like we do.

 

[Roy Kent]

Positively pleased we now have a manager and can get on with pre-season, squad refinement etc.

Whatever our personal feelings about this it all has to be judged by results in this business.

Over to MA and the board to do their part now.

 

[Chunkylad]

One bonus is for those with young kids a poster of him can be kept in a drawer and when the little mites play up they can be sent to the bedroom where the poster will be hung…..

It’ll scare the crap out of them and lead to an easier parenting experience

 

[Wilburrabbit]

He’s not Steve Evans

 

[Towerpower99]

Part of the rules of this thread, absolutely no Love Island garbage to be discussed.

BAFTA award winning garbage if you don’t mind

 

[cresser]

Some of the Lincoln fans are a tad surprised at our fans negative reaction to the appointment. They hold him in high regard and say there were reasons why ftheir orm fell away last season. Negativity is not going to do any of us any good. Let's back him to the hilt.

 

[Trammo]

Appy Days Are Here Again.

 

[Delfino]

The club will have to make some big signings to help the manager, justify his appointment and help win over the fans. Not spending any of the Critchley compensation money on another manager will help them do that.

 

[Seventiesseasider]

I’m positive he won’t be here at Xmas

 

[BFC_53]

I doubt he will play a weakened side at Deepdale unnecessarily, leading to a predictably terrible performance and later claim we played well.

He knows what it means to the fans.

Hmm, that wasn't really the positive vibes I was looking for.

 

[585 = never give up]

MA's our manager and he's proud to be so - that'll do for me.
Good luck Michael, remove the PNE tattoo and win all the derby games

Uncle Voldomorts Tangerine Army!

 

[WLDTangerine]

Last time we only had to endure him for 65 days.

 

[Tiptree Tangerine]

He knows what it means to the fans.

I think he will be desperate to do the double on them, he knows if he does we will get fully behind him. But also I agree he will aim to make it a competitive performance, unlike that disaster at dumpers last season.

 

[AngelBFC]

Respected coach in the game
Utilises loan market well
Tactically astute
Serious professional
Point to prove to win over the haters

Could be a golden appointment

 

[Stranny1870]

I think his experience in management will be needed next season Critch was struggling at times, give the man a chance.

Yes it was a disaster their last season, and you're spot on. The games against Burnley, Rovers and especially PNE will be so important to him winning over his doubters.

 

[XBeds-Now-Kings_Meaburn]

We are a completely different prospect compared to last time . 10 years ago he was fairly new to management & has admitted that he failed to do due diligence on clubs . Has gained experience at various level since

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

So you think a Prem team will come in for him ?

Yep it's been ott.

They were gutted to lose him.

Some people had preconceived ideas and based off unfair criticism.

 

[Ruperthoop]

Found it very hard to accept initially that Appleton was our new manager. We clearly now have to accept the decision has been made and give him a chance.

 

[Walnut]

He interviews well

 

[Newholland]

Once your in…you can’t get out

You know that lady as well..

 

[mad-link]

Probably very good at arm wrestling

 

[Bloodorange]

Only lost 2 games in 11 last time with us
at this level.

 

[ste]

He was in the Slytherin house.

 

[RossendaleSeasider]

There's a really good 13 min video interview on the Radio Lancs Twitter account . Appleton comes across really well imo

 

[premierdream2010]

I must have missed something, why are Evatt or Rosenior more qualified to be the manager than Appleton is ? Rosenior has never managed and Evatts record is similar to Appleton in terms of promotions, This forum has erupted like the three candidates were Pep, Klopp and Mike Bassett and we gave the job to Mike. I am quite happy that the board will have gone through the process in a professional manner and they know more about it than me. Lets get behind him, no issues at all

Well said fully agree

There is that.

 

[premierdream2010]

To be fair when I first heard that Appleton had got the job I was pissed off. To be honest I don’t know why ? But having now seen his interview, looked at what Lincoln fans have said and the board has said I think he could be really good for us this time round. I’m sure he will be better than Critchley would have been in the long term. For one he has more experience. I’m looking forward not backwards and this could end up a great appointment. Good luck Michael the fans will get behind you

I think that sums my thoughts up too really.

 

[Atletico_Seasider]

Appleton walked out with Oyston in charge,
Critchley walked out with Sir Simon Sadler in charge

Whos is back room staff.

He was noncommittal on his R.Lancs interview as to whether he would be bringing his own team with him. I suspect we'll see movement next week.
