I see no harm in asking Doug his opinion on managers. He has signed a few good ones after all.
If Doug advised the next Taylor, Atkinson or Little I'd be quite happy.

Yeah right...he also sacked most of`em, which suggests his judgement was not quite right in the first place. Furthermore his judgement may have further diminshed with the onset of age - however ...Franz Beckenbaur (sp?) anybody?
Lerner's never picked a football manager in his life. He knows less about football than most people on here ( although there are a few exceptions, reading some people's suggestions for our next manager). He's obviously got to speak to someone who has experience in hiring new managers. Who should he consult?Even if he speaks to Ellis and does the exact opposite of what Doug suggests, he would be a fool not to at least seek his advice.
