Michael Appleton: Blackburn make approach for Blackpool boss
Last updated on .From the section Football

Blackburn Rovers have approached Blackpool for permission to speak to Tangerines boss Michael Appleton about the managerial vacancy at Ewood Park.
Rovers sacked but have won their last three games under caretaker Gary Bowyer.
Appleton, 37, only joined Blackpool from Portsmouth
Rovers managing director Derek Shaw said: "He is the only candidate we have approached."
Appleton has only won two games since taking charge at Bloomfield Road, drawing eight and losing two, and has won just 15 games since making his managerial debut for Pompey in November 2011.
Blackpool's last win came against Blackburn on 15 December and the two sides are one place apart in the Championship table.
Rovers are in 13th place, five points short of the play-off places and one point above Blackpool.
A short Blackpool statement confirmed that Rovers had made an approach for their manager.
Last week, Rovers global advisor Shebby Singh told BBC Radio Lancashire that the club wanted their next manager
Singh said: "If somebody has got the ambition, the knowledge and the experience, there will be people who will take the job.
"We are looking to offer a short-term contract with specific targets, and upon achieving those targets it will trigger a longer-term contract."

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Straight out of Baldrick's Book Of Cunning Plans.
If Kean was sacked over the summer then they could've taken time to replace him, and got the right person in. Instead, they delayed the inevitable and showed their ineptitude again.
You deserve better than that, Michael!
Blackburn have possibly the worst fans in the country, so its appropiate their club is run so badly.

Joking aside, no-one else is going to hire him any time soon, and no-one else with a brain cell is going to take the Blackburn job for a while. Match made in heaven.
