In the gazette article just posted about LR, it says "It’s understood an announcement could be imminent."

Who will it be!

We don't know if Scrafton is alluding to an announcement regarding the manager being announced or an announcement about denying that Rosenior had been offered the job.

Well Scrafton tweeted a few minutes before the article that the club had denied it being offered to Rosenior, so I imagine the article itself is alluding to the managerial announcement being imminent. Either way if club are denying he's been offered it then it's not going to be him that's going to be announced tomorrow...if there is an announcement

There could be a play on words here, it could be that Rosenior has had his second interview and been told what the package is - training ground budget etc - and has questioned can he have more etc if he was successful without actually being offered the job
 
Because i‘m getting tired of all the rumours & talk of imminent appointments I had a Google to remind me of our previous managers,Joe smith lasted 23 years,Michael Appleton lasted 65 days,Jose Riga was our only foreign manager ever,I’d totally forgotten about terry mcphillips,we have had a new manager on average every 3 years,as of march 2020 we had 10 managers in 8 years,amongst other years from 1896-1903/1911-1915 etc we worked with no manager at all
major frank buckley was manager from 1923-1927,I’d love him back but unfortunately he probably isn’t with us anymore,Rip major
in 1928-1933 we had harry evans who was honorary manager, I’ve no idea what that title was all about as I never asked him but he was a good laugh after a few pints of mild
 
Looking at the gazette online just now I think it’s gunna be Appleton reading between the lines as him and rosenior been interviewed twice and rosenior not been offered the job and an announcement imminent
 
I remember a similar reaction to Holloway getting the job in 2009. He got Leicester relegated a year before. If it is Appleton then though it seems rather underwhelming what if…..it turns out to be a masterstroke. Not my first choice but I back whoever gets the job. Nothing worse than becoming a manager and then 10k people are already breathing down your neck looking for a mistake.
 
I've said I'm not crazy for it or against it...

But, considering how when we went back to Grayson... didn't work out.

If we were to do the same move again, back to a former manager... OK he got no time and left under mad circumstances of how we were run....

Why would we go back again...

Surely we can appoint a new manager who's exciting to all?

He left because he had another job lined up at Blackburn that he fancied more not for a moral crusade against the Oystons. That's how I remember it although I stand to be corrected.

I wouldn't hold that against him, we were probably a low paying joke at the time. All managers leave anyway.

That’s my take.

I will support him and I will live in hope.

But I don’t understand this desire to go back, especially when it hasn’t worked before. It’s a big wide world out there and I’d wonder why we lacked the imagination going forward.

We took a punt with Critchley, we may have some bitterness towards how he left but he got better results than going back to Grayson did.

And Appleton‘s brand of football was miserable to watch and didn’t engage a lot of us at all.

That said, I’m not prepared to sulk initially. But if he proves to be as turgid as last time I will sulk, a lot.

A lot of fans don’t see this, I do.

He took the job knowing full well what the O’s were about, and he left for a better offer. Let’s not make this anymore complicated or romantic than what it actually was.

And that bit in the middle was shite football.
 
Yes, he left us after 11 games for a club where he only lasted three months before getting sacked.

I've no idea why we're even interviewing him tbh. The board's judgement has to be questioned even if he doesn't get the job. Forgetting Rosenior for a second, if we wanted someone with management experience, then Duff would've been a far better choice, having improved a small club every year for four years, winning a league title in the process and leaving them in their highest league position in their history. So if we've decided Appleton is a better candidate, it's mind boggling.

Come on, he was a snake. You don't forget things like that. I don't care who the owners were, we were all here as supporters and he dumped on us.
This will be a disaster if it happens and I still can't believe Simon Sadler will go for it. We are going nowhere if Appleton rocks up . If he was a stick of rock he'd have League 1 running through him.

This will tell us a lot about Mansford, some say he interviewed his mates.

We say trust the board, they haven't les us down yet.

This may be the right choice, maybe he knows best, but its not sounding popular so far and that's not how you build success if some of the fans aren't with him.

Maybe people he knew or was mates with would have been interviewed anyway, as they were available managers.

But when we have the fans back connected with the club, it would seem mad to bring in a figure a lot dont want.

Especially as we're run by a fan.....

Appleton would show zero ambition.

He's not set the world alight, so how can you expect a miracle.

How is he going to attract signings? He'll scare or bore them to death.

Sign him and I think there are problems.

Yeah, it wouldn't show much imagination.

Look at Blackburn and Burnley managers.

They've said how this is such an important choice to get right, we need to see some ambition here.

So I can't see it being him for that reason, as is it the right choice....

It was that short I barely remember it.

But I have said why go back, we need ambition.

They have also stated how important this choice is to get right.

So I can't see it being him as how is it the right choice to go back to a manager weve had and isn't popular.

I've said an evatt type ex player sells ST and the football he plays is exciting.

It's not hard to see what we need.

Which is why I can't see it being Appleton if BM understands the club and fans.

I never get how big companies make such bad decisions at times and are out of touch.

I hope that sort of things isn't happening here.

Like seriously it's not hard is it to pick a manager that won't annoy the fanbase.

No people who weve had before who aren't popular.

You want someone who will help grow the club and fanbase.

It should be easy not to make a hash of it, a relatively unknown person isn't a mega appointment but at least its not going back to someone weve had, when people have strong feelings about past managers who have left.
