"From my point of view it's all the questions that are for certain senior members and not myself. I didn't release Craig and I'm not sure of the reasons why."
Shakespeare was sacked after Monday's 1-1 home draw with West Brom left 2015-16 champions Leicester without a win in six Premier League matches, languishing in relegation zone in the table's bottom three.
But Appleton said he had not felt any indication from the owners that Shakespeare was under pressure.
"No, no there wasn't," he said. You would expect some sort of indication, he said, "but I can assure you no there wasn't".
Appleton hopes any players who feel Shakespeare was hard done by can channel that emotion into helping Leicester to a much-needed win against Swansea.
"There's no doubt about it that Craig had an incredible relationship with everybody at the football club," he said.
"These players want to win games, they want to win games of football for their manager, and if what's happened over the last couple of days is the motivation that they need to get the three points, then great."
