pretty sad when our local experts are questioning appletons ability before he gets started. just remind them that he has managed or assisted at a higher level than any of our managers of recent years and lets hope that he will have contacts in the game to bring in good quality additions to our squad. the new season is not far away so things need to be resolved pretty quickly .

So did Peter Reid before going to Plymouth and look what happened there! Managing at a higher level is irrelevant if your results are poor everywhere you go. Don't, get me wrong Mr Appleton needs a chance in this new project and he may have learnt from previous mistakes. However, don't get blinkered with the 'higher level' thing."
