Blackpool sacked Appleton. Another one bites the dust.
I don’t know how he keeps getting management jobs. Apart from Oxford he’s been a failure wherever he goes and only stays a short time. It’s his second stint at Blackpool, I wonder if Pompey will give him a second chance.

They’ve had enough managers who haven’t succeeded. The law of averages says that they can’t all be bad. It’s the club run by individuals who don’t know what they’re doing and believe that throwing money at the problem is the answer. There’s an old Greek saying,
’if you throw money at a problem, then you haven’t thought the problem through’.
The common thread to these unsuccessful managers are the owners. That’s the problem, they don’t know how to recruit properly. Who allows a manager to buy players and then relieve him of his duties, within a couple of weeks of the season starting and days before the transfer window closes.
Then more importantly the smaller club in the City based in the north start becoming successful and doing things properly.COYW.

I don’t think Gareth will take the job, he serious about his music and is also a very talented musician, London is right on the doorstep.

I really enjoyed listening to that. Some great stories and a good insight to what went on and the characters we have had over the years.
Regarding Tom's controversial comments, without doubt he should have played more under Askey. For me, he was the player that made us tick, bringing others into play and guaranteeing a minimum of 15 goals a season. How would we like to have one of those now? James Wilson, within 2 games it seems as though we have another player that flatters to decieve. I really hope he proves me wrong but flashes of good play won't make up for his general ineffectiveness. Not quick, not good in the air, not good at holding it up, doesn't get on the end of things, injury prone, does he really want it?
As for the current Manager / Flitcrift, even before this podcast, in every single interview Clarke comes across as the big hard man who tries to belittle the reporter. (Small man syndrome at its best). His disdain and lack of trust for the press is fine, but there's still a way to treat people and he crosses the line on most occasions if he doesn't like the question being asked. Maybe he's different behind the scenes, but interviews are the only time supporters get to hear a Manager speak and I'm finding him a difficult man to like. I get its not a popularity contest, and nice guys often finish last, but there's a way to go about your business and ultimately the players will also think that in time as well. Again, I hope I'm wrong.
As for tearing up last year's squad, I agreed with it in general. What I didn't agree with was getting rid of our best two players, players who without them we would be in the conference or in liquidation, while also treating them really badly on their way out. Did they deserve that? Are their replacements better? This team looks mid table mediocrity at best and if the <ovf censored> hits the fan again, which I suspect it will if things don't pick up in 10 games time, I don't see that we have the quality or characters for Clarke to survive.
The management team have laid this ruthless marker themselves and they need to start getting results to prove it was the right way to go about things. So far it's been a difficult watch with a lot of money spentTony, good morning. You mention our best two players. In your opinion who were these players.?

That’s correct it didn’t work out for any of those that went to Besiktas including Adam Murray they were only there a few months.
