    Thankfully it is only gossip. But apparently Michael Appleton is favourite to succeed Stuart Pearce as Under 21 manager

    It beggars belief how he keeps getting decent jobs, his record is poor.

    The managerial merry go-round. There are managers with worse records than him still getting very well paid jobs. Football is completely detached from real life.

    Too true; how long before Harry Redknapp gets another job in the Premiership?

    Not a fan then?

    His record stands up against most of his contemporaries. I'd have had him over Woy for England, tax dodger or not. Might not be quite so defensive then.

    Cant stand the guy but his management record is pretty good - its the likes of Appleton (and before him Paul Hart) that baffled me about how they kept getting given jobs.
    I think giving Appleton the U21 job is actually slightly worse than if Pearce had been kept on

    How much money has he spent though achieving the modicum of success he's had? I think plenty of others would have done better with the financial backing he's had.
