Don't get the fuss about Appleton and why he is so highly rated, never achieved anything has he?
Shit at Pompey, dropped a shitter on Blackpool and sacked by Blackburn
Thats some magic CV right there

Think it's more a case of "Does a pretty good job under ridiculous circumstances at succession of basket case clubs" |

Fully agree...but for some reason, he was thought of the managerial messiah. |

Di Canio for Blackburn.
Christ what a clusterfuck of a club that would be. Not many other obvious candidates though. Fingers crossed.  |

Its the sort of insane thing that could work, whether Paolo would like living in Lancashire is another matter though.

Like this line in the mail: "It means that if Blackburn get another manager in they will have had same number this season as Manchester United have had since 1972."  On a less than serious note, I wonder how the win rate of bald managers rates mathematically against those with a full head of hair? Just to take an unscientific sample from us, since Macari our tally is: Bald: Steve McMahon Andy King Iffy Onuora Maurice Malpas Paul Hart Hair: Lou Macari Osvaldo Ardiles Glenn Hoddle John Gorman Jimmy Quinn Colin Todd Roy Evans Dennis Wise / Gus Poyet Paul Sturrock Danny Wilson Paolo Di Canio Kevin MacDonald (accounting for my potentially dubious memory and differences of opinion over where the line is drawn between a receding hairline and bald)  Not cut and dry (boom boom) by any standards with a dubious run from Gorman to Evans, but it seems like if we don't have a head of hair in charge we might as well just give up. |

Blackburn have had more managers this season than away wins.

Didn't Blackburn previously want MacDonald...given the degree of current lunacy, I'm sure the Board and Venky's could sort out a suitable compensation package...

If this happened then I don't think any of us would be surprised... |

If we're dipping in the Venky's pockets, might I suggest we also flog them a few acres of Amazon Rainforest, a couple of dozen carbon credits, Chris Smith and some of this? [url width=250 height=238]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M0M3paZTPeI/SwGzz8qjzVI/AAAAAAAAAOk/i0DkjTJCVQw/s1600/old+rope.jpg[/url] |
