There seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding the possibility of Appleton being appointed..... Why!!! (By no means am I an Appleton fan, I am on the fence with it all), but:
1) Do we truly know whether this is even the case? All we have is press speculation, and lets be fair, they are just after click-bait.
2) People speculating that other managers have said No..... Why?? How do we know its not Us that have turned them down?
3) Do we actually know any of the Candidates... We see small snippets of their interviews (& let's face it, those interviews are generally when they are with another Club that We have little or no care about). I would like to think that Sadler & Mansford (both successful people) would have a better incline into the candidates personality, image, plans, transfer targets & thoughts a lot more than we do, and I am all for the multiple interviews that seems to be happening.
4) Appleton got Lincoln (a smaller club) to the verge of the Championship, only for us to prevent them, most likely on a much smaller budget. I appreciate Critchley then kept us up, but could Appleton have done the same with Lincoln?
5) The Rosenoir love-in (I must say I have been guilty myself): Why?? I appreciate he has built his way up (Player, Brighton, Derby) and done relatively well, but thats in a Number 2 role, where there is far less pressure, less stick from fans and lesser input to transfers (than a Manager).
I genuinely believe that this process will be the best choice for the Club as a whole, taking into account everything from the day to day running, player recruitment, downstream planning, ability to adapt and not swayed by public perception.
