Assume they paid him off £1.5m and he will take a few weeks break until the first casualties start to be announced and then he is front of the queue. Will float straight into a top job - WHU? Everton? Think WBA beckons eventually - failing which he could always get himself up to Vegas and start fighting in a cage. GL MaPP. Think he will become a top manager and we are going to be hearing a lot about him for a long time. Wonder if Sean Derry hadnt come if he would have come back as joint manager with KR
A minute later saw this - surely not a number two - WBA is a huge rebuilding job. He wont get the blame if it fails or the credit if it succeeds. If he is going to make big money, I think he has to sell himself not as someone who plasters over the holes of clubs seriously restructuring, rather an improver of young men. Wonder if its already done - easy money at a premium to the £500k he was reported as getting at the foxes, but with £1.5m in the bank, I would be thinking about seeing what comes up and doing a Lampard. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sp...ews/michael-appleton-man-become-west-14850314

They have to deal probably 100 million (mainly out) otherwise if they dont go straight back up they will be surely be illiquid. Offloading big time at deep discounts. Also spending money like mad which surely should be looked at as their balance sheet must be a mess. Dont think it would be out of the question to pay off the existing guy and appoint MaPP - They are going to have to write off huge losses on players to reduce the wage bill so may swallow their pride if they think MaPP is the best manager available in - seen stranger things happen! its about whether they believe they can bounce straight back because they are doomed if they don't. The MaPP coming back comment was tongue in cheek. 
It would be a backward move but who for?

Didn't Mapp also get £1.5m when he successfully sued the surgeon who operated on his knee? I hope he has a good financial advisor.

He spent most of that £1.5m in tattoos so he needs another payout.
Said it at the time he made a mistake leaving here. He still has a flaky reputation. I wonder if he regrets not sticking around for the 4 mill budget last season? I know I do.
Turned down Barnsley job apparently. The suggestion is he will have to start again at Lge 1 level

Grow the f**k up. He was shafted by Eels.
And we all regret him leaving so Pep Fuckwit was let loose.
Good luck to Appleton.

And Pep did so well with £4M
Just heard.... shame but in line to get a big pay off. Will get a break and wait to see who gets their cards first next season in Champ/ prem
Can't imagine he'll be anywhere but upper championship for his next job. Took a lot of the credit for turning around Leicester's dire start to last season.

Really? Trainset Stew and Sartori COULD have completed the takeover but for arguing over a million or so? Charlie told us that £25M was the sum needed to invest for an OUFC takeover and a good shot at Championship football. Yet one year later, Donald finds £40M to buy out Sunderland ? something smells ...
So it was not in the best interests of the club pursuing the Donald/Sartori takeover as they were too far away from a deal. and to evidence why it wasn't in the best interests of the club, Appleton walked away.
[edit: might have been £40M needed to invest including stadium for us, it's a long time ago now]

Not sure why you think he will "float" in a top job, no managerial experience at that level with far better and experienced people around.
Someone will have to take a punt on him to manage in the championship that is the next step for him, there are only 20 managerial jobs in the prem and they are littered with overseas appointments, I can't see Mapp or his like breaking through at that level.

He also told us WE was the dream ticket
roofe was on 4K a week
Mapp would never get us out of l2 playing nice football
That he had nothing to do with the sartori bid
That he single handedly built, saved and run Oufc.
So using the phrase “charlie told us” doesn’t really add much credibility

I can so lets agree to differ
Think he will be in charge of premiership team within 12m
He isn’t getting a prem job based on a second placed finish in league 2 a couple of years back and a season as an assistant for Leicester, the poorest prem club can afford the wages to attract managers with topflight success from around Europe.
He has made a lot of money out of the move so fair play, but it hasn’t really progressed his career much. He will have to take a backward step to go forward again, Moore doing well at West Brom at the end of the season was a bit of a nightmare for him as I think he would of got that.

I expect him to be appointed. I do think Moore will get the full year as this season is a rebuild. Moore has both the support of both Lai and Jenkins. If Appleton comes, I think it'll all start to move.

There's a scene in V for Vendetta where V appears on TV screens in London and starts his address "good evening London". Can't help but imagine V with Charlie's head photoshopped in his place and the tag "good evening moonshiners".
You probably have no idea what I'm talking about... let me YouTube it.

Not very impressive to re-write the story based on wishful hindsight. Nor to corroborate your wishful thinking with quotes from Charlie Methven who, I suggest, would be an unreliable witness at his own confirmation.
This is what was published and stated at the time: the Sartori group offer was accepted, and they were doing due diligence when Eels called it off. Curiously that was at the same time he was allegedly introduced to Tiger.
The notion of 25m to make a shot at championship football clearly included investment over and above buying the concrete toilet or developing fantasy land in Water Eaton. Charlie said. And your shot at Donald is b*****s: the news is that Sunderland is a different class of football club from Oxford.
Appleton left because Eels welshed on his investment and Appleton saw no prospect of Eels straightening out.
And whilst on his honeymoon. Suppose the pay off can pay for a honeymoon extension!

“Sorry to break this to you on our honeymoon love, but I’ve got some bad news and some further bad news.”
“What’s that?”
“Firstly, I’ve lost my job. And secondly, I’ve been given a million quid in compensation.”
“Wait, the second part is good news isn’t it?”
“Not if you completely forgot to get a prenup before the wedding it’s not.”

I wonder whether S&C have appointed the Scots chap on the cheap to save a few pennies in the wider picture, with the view that 'anyone' SHOULD be able to get them back up in one go, but that he is easily disposable at the end of the season if they havent gone up or whenever they have the budget/stability to bring in someone more prominent....

Putting his career prospects and the inevitable speculation aside, I feel sorry for the man who has proven integrity, undeniable passion and commitment.I expect he will be feeling very disappointed by this at a personal level. I wish him the very best.
