Dont get me wrong, Robbo is doing a decent job. Appleton built the best team ive watched in terms of ability, one auto promotion, two Wembley finals, and has Lincoln top having built an amazing team.
Don’t forget (and I mean this in a positive/friendly way) that eating healthily/staying active is the best way to strengthen the immune system to fight off all infections, including Covid-19. I know it’s not always easy/possible for everyone!
Stay safe" Amazing "? Come back down to Earth. That's stretching it, even for you.
It is interesting how superlatives are used to describe other teams/ clubs ( the transfer thread is wonderful to see all of the fantastic players going to Bristol Rovers, Sunderland etc) and yet criticism and at a pinch grudging praise for Oxford. I can't say that I understand it.
They are similar in so many ways but I have to say, Appleton seems a more well rounded manager than Robinson to me.
I meant the ones publicly banded about by the tabloids, and comments published like John Terry has already spoken to Bournemouth, whether he has or not.
You're not the only one to note that. If that Lincoln team was Oxford he would make out we don't deserve to be in that position!
We certainly arent "crap". The table doesnt lie though.
Appleton is obviously a talented coach, but he makes some very odd career decisions. Kitson obviously dislikes him, and claims that he (Appleton) constantly chases the money. Appleton has job hopped an awful lot, and the Leicester move was clearly for the cash. All he did after Leicester was professionally tread water for three years. I think he was West Brom u23s (?) coach when he got the Lincoln job. It will be interesting to see what he does if he gets Lincoln promoted. His career path suggests that he will leave for somewhere like Forest when that job comes up yet again. I read somewhere that Ferguson thinks he has wasted his managerial career by always looking for the next job.
But he's assembled an AMAZING team at Lincoln
Im not sure whats so odd about that Bob. 12 points ahead of us at the top of the league, when we are a good team ourselves, suggests hes done well..
Not even close. Just look at the amount of players that Karl has developed and sold on, to play at a higher level.
That came from MApp himself. He called Ferguson after being sacked from Blackburn for advice and got the hairdryer treatment! SAF criticised him for not doing his due diligence and wasting his opportunities on basket cases with uncooperative owners.
You're going to look a bit silly if lincoln and their amazing team don't go up.
Maybe so. But i think they will.
If Lincoln go up and we don't then MAPP is ahead in my view.
I’m bias. I think Appleton is a money chasing snake. Personally, I can’t stand him. His time at Oxford showed me that. I would rather Karl Robinson, any day of the week. Appleton will leave Lincoln at the first sign of money. Would Karl? I’m not so sure. Im doubting MAPP’s ability, I’m doubting his character. That to me, counts for just as much..
