Blackpool Manager

[Acker79]

SSN reporting Blackpool have made an approach to MK Dons about getting karl robinson. Yesterday they got permission from Dundee United to speak to their manager.

I wonder if Houston turned them down, if so wouldn't that worry you if you were a Blackpool fan. If not, how many clubs are blackpool planning on unsettling at any one time?

I'd be well pissed off as a Blackpool fan, they seem to be sliding back from whence they came a few years ago as their managers get cherry picked. Twice this season already, how pissed would you be if that was happening to us??

I'd be happy to be rid of Appleton though, he's PONY

Not to sure Blackpool fans will miss Appleton to much

Slightly off topic. How does appleton keep getting these jobs, I see nothing in his record to date.

Was thinking the same thing, just checked his Wikipedia page and his win percentage is 23%. Fairly shocking. He doesn't exactly strike you as the most inspiring or charismatic bloke either, neither did he achieve much as a footballer

Anyone else see Danny Murphy's reaction to what do you think of your new manager after the Wolves game, he basically replied 'never heard of him'

 

[RM-Taylor]

Karl Robinson won't go there, he probably already earns more at MK.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Appleton floating around as manager of potential promotion rivals suits me down to the ground. Long may it continue

Cherry picked?

Holloway walked
Appleton walked
Houston appears ro have also voted with his feet.


I think I might be asking questions about their boardroom. Is odious Oyston still in charge?

 

[genre b. good]

does oyston still only give out 1 year rolling contracts? clearly part of the problem

Their managerial situation is starting to have a look of Wolverhampton Wanderers about it. Whoever they end up with might well be 5th or 6th choice

SSN now reporting MK Dons has denied them permission to speak to him.

 

[Acker79]

Now reporting Birmingham refused them permission to speak to Lee Clark as well.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

surprised at how toilet the three relegated clubs have been in their quest for a new manager.

 

[The Camel]

Oyston coining in the parachute payments without investing a penny in the team and letting the decent players leave.

Let Holloway and Appleton go (probably got decent compensation for both!).

Oyston totally to blame.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

As well as having to deal with the chairman Oilyston, the potential of Blackpool Football Club is pretty limited so it's hardly the most attractive job.

 

[Acker79]

Yesterday on ssn Houston denied having contact with Blackpool, saying contact was only between chairmen.

It is today being reported that Houston will leave Dundee Utd at the end of the season. No word on if he will then join Blackpool, or if it's unrelated.

Isn't it because they only offer one year rolling deals to their managers? Hence they all walk out when a longer term offer is on the table?

Sounds like their doing a bang up job of headhunting their new manager...
