The replacement for MON...?

[adrenachrome]

Is his agent hawking him around?

[Villa'Zawg]

Don't worry about Rijkard coming, it's a tissue of lies.

[freakypete]

randy in italy/??raneire?

Don't worry about Rijkard coming

Worry? I would be delighted.

Hasn't he just taken a job in Qatar?

[pauliewalnuts]

has anyone mentioned rijkard?

There's something about Rijkard that I don't trust. Don't think he'd cut it in England for some reason.

How can you trust a man who spits in another mans perm?

That's one of my all time favourite moments in football.

Rudi Voller's face as he looks at the ref and tugs at his gob-speckled mullet.

Shall we remove Jol now he's said he doesn't want the job?

I presume you mean Voller's face and not Rijkard's actions.

Kevin MacDonald must already have been told that the job is his, otherwise he'd be trying to get the club in the Europa League proper so he can set the club up nicely for the new man to come in.

Looks like he has been advised that we can't afford to take it serious again

What does it say about the change in attitude toward O'Neill's abilities that so many on here think a man with the grand total of five Premier League games managerial experience would be a more than adequate replacement?

i think that squad is capable of winning tomorrow night !!  kev macdonald knows what he is doing i think and knows the players and he beleives that team can win

what is is doing good is taking several key players to steady the ship... friedel, downing, albrighton, heskey, davies..... i think we will be fine and then play a full team at home to finish them off,  no point taking the whole squad over there because we have a more important game on sunday !!  tomorrow is only the 1st leg and if we can get a draw out of it or an away goal we will be fine at home..... the thing about oniel was that he played a weakened team at home, we didnt do well and he put an even weakened team out on the 2nd away leg....

He's in Turkey I think, which seems to be a hiding place for good managers at the moment.

I cannot believe that Bradly with zero PL experience has gotten more of the vote than the very experienced Curbisley, and some of the comments here makes me think that your all a bunch of Hammers fans in digise.

The fact is we are unlikely to attract anyone better than MON, and based on the fact that the guy concerned will have very little money to spend than a guy like AC with his know how, cool head, and neat way of handling players would be perfect right now. I don't get what peoples problem with him is.  Apart from what he did at Chalton, I seem to be one of the only ones who think he did a solid job at West Ham.  He kept them up when they were almost nailed on to go down, and the next season they finish a very respectable tenth, and then because of a dodgy start the next season he gets the sack.  Given our current situlation, and that we need a steady head he would be my choice right about now.

The only other one I would consider from that list [besides Moyles who we won't get] is Martin Jol who has done a good job pretty much anywhere he has gone, and would be that big personity we are after.  My only issue with that appointment is that he might make us a little too wide open, and take away the work rate, solid defence, and hard to beat nature we have now. 


My prediction is that everally we will get Bradly and with all due respect to the guy that might prove to be a disater.

Daily Mail are linking Ronald Koeman with the job.  Not sure how reputable their sports reporting is as I don't normally touch it with a bargepole.
