585 = never give up

MA knew the players that he had when he accepted the job. He must also have known the budget that he had to work with - unless he was misled, which we'll never know.We're not Man City, we won't always have all players available. Sure, the injuries haven't helped but that shouldn't stop Appleton from coaching, organising and getting the players up for games. If he can't work with the bulk of the players we have, then it adds even more weight to my argument, that he is the wrong man to take us forward.
His negative, blame the players, recent post match interviews, suggests to me that he can't see the wood from the trees & the thought of him bringing in his mate Bridcutt, doesn't fill me with confidence. Neither does rewarding the poorly performing team with a weeks holiday after just 10 games (if that's the case).
As MA's going nowhere for 4 years, I do back him as our manager.
