    We have had some tough times and some rubbish managers but for me nothing comes close to him. I had to stop watching his post match stuff as it was obvious he didn’t give a shit

    Karel Fraeye made Appleton look like Jurgen Klopp.
    Yes but that was the banter era. The Appleton period they were actually trying to make the club good. He was just shite.

    I'm not sure whether you're joking, but the appointments were both the same in trying to get on the cheap.  Regardless of ownership at the time.
  • I'm not telling him to his face that he's shit


    I do wonder how he got those guns, with his hands in his pockets, must have bollocks like cannon balls.
    Had testicular cancer. 
  • Thank God we have a proper manager now . Frankly this bloke is a fraud

    Great news he came out of this the other side.

    It wasn’t even his ineptitude that made me mad Elf’s it was his obvious total lack of interest he didn’t even try to pretend he cared that takes some front.

    Didn't know that. 
  • Fraeye was a joke, but I will always remember Appleton's tenure far more negatively, maybe because we were in our lowest placing in the club history, genuinely looked like relegation candidates to the fourth division, and he couldn't give 2 fucks.

    Under Appleton we did at least vaguely play some okay attacking football now and then. Slade was the non-Fraeye nadir

    True. We scored 6 against a pub team after the pub team drew at the valley!!!!

    No I think they (Scott & co.) genuinely looked at Appleton’s time at both Oxford and Lincoln and thought he was the right choice. 

    He is proving at his third club back to back now that those days are long gone. Maybe the game has moved on, maybe his heart isn’t in it like it used to be.

    Whatever it is, I can’t see him getting another job in the EFL after this.

    I think Fraeye can feel less bad than Appleton because we pretty much expected to get relegated eventually under Roland's clownshow and the minute Fraeye came in it was guaranteed. I don't think many of us were expecting to be looking down the barrel of a relegation to L2 though even with Appleton in charge.

    If Holden can get a job under Gerrard(good luck to him btw), then Appleton is capable of getting another job.
    It's all about a decent agent.
