Don't think Appleton would be a bad appointment. Suspect Leeds want a coach rather than a traditional English manager. Appleton is well regarded as a coach, whilst his management career is unusual.
However, Appleton would be well advised not to accept the job if offered, as he probably needs to stay in a job for a reasonable amount of time and the Leeds owner does not appear to retain managers/ coaches that long. But can Appleton turn down a big club in the second tier of English football?
I think the question is, would Cellino offer it to Appleton, I doubt it
Who would have guessed he would offer it to Hockaday after McDermott, nothing that guy does seems to make any sense, if it was not Leeds id feel sorry for them.

Leeds were matching us last weekend until they lost a man and then totally lost the plot.
I know a scout who went to that game, pretty much what you say but he did say that Watford were sluggish for a good spell and Leeds didn't have a shot on target all game.
Damn, this decision is two months too soon, wanted them to be cut adrift at the bottom and then sack Hockaday just before we played them on 4 November. :-( @AddckUpNorth will be chuffed though when he gets back from Holland :-)
Haha @RedChaser you know me so well. I shouldn't really revel in another club's misfortune but I'm loving what's going on with L***s. Long may it continue (on a slippery slope to relegation hopefully).

1st half was pretty even but we did score their goal for them.
Fernando Forestieri was the difference with 2 goals and winning the penalty (maybe not a surprise to some on here!)
Cheap as chips this guy

I wonder how much SCP would have got when he got the boot?

Erm... interesting. Hard to say how he might do.

A pic of the Leeds away end today. First person to tell me what's unusual about it gets 10 points.
A woman in there?
Might've been who Fanny was referring to too. Check out those sunglasses!!
