Mon linked to Leicester return?

[TopDeck113]

Just like after Sven, the pendulum will swing back from a foreign manager and the FA will appoint an English manager.  A Northern Irishman who has happened to have spent most of his life in English football will still not be English enough.  It will be 'Arry.

I think he will hold out for the England Gig.

And me, and you know, I reckon there is every chance, its not a job for most managers and if nothing else Mon can be very much the diplomat, you can't fault him on that.

He managed half the team. there have been several changes at the FA since he last got interviewed. Between him and Arry, problem is Arry is waiting trial.

I expect he would get a mixed reception if he came back here with a new club but although i feel it was time for him to leave i would applaud him for doing a decent enough job here-he did ok but not great and wouldnt get the sort of welcome sir graham and big ron got in my view.

A mixed reception!!!! You must be joking.
If / when it happens, the fcuker will be crucified, he's not fit to be mentioned in the same terms of  BFR or GT.

Strong rumours on wearside that bruce is close to the bullet-as a sunderland fan i think o neill might be tempted by the challenge, he has often recounted his love for sunderland as a kid and he would have cash available up there and good support.

I think that's wishful thinking on Sunderland fans part. Hasn't Bruce just spent all the available transfer kitty? So not sure where this available cash is coming from.

I don't know who is responsible for MON's PR but they must be very good.

[AV82EC]

Does anyone give a flying fuck what the traitorous ****** does next. I wish the fellow no ill will he did ok for us but its time we all moved on.

[PaulTheVillan]

Fuck him.

Craig Gardner (lifelong Mackem) wil be waiting to greet him with open arms no doubt.

Count me in too. After the way England struggled against Argentina at the weekend, it's just a matter of time before he takes over the national side.

Do you think clubs are put off managers who have taken out legal action against their former employers? (a sort of unofficial blacklist)

Curbishley and O'Neill have decent records but seem to be overlooked by clubs who would have jumped at the chance of hiring them in the past.

If I was a chairman thinking of hiring either of those, that'd be the least of my worries.

If he did get the England job and it went tits up what would his fan club in the national press have to say about it ?

Ironically, he might find out that Bruce has spent all the money.

I see that Inter are looking for a new manager. I wonder if Martin will apply?

The days of mon playing carlos at right back and that old lump heskey coming on after 80 minutes seem like heaven compared to our current situation -to think some of us (myself included) wanted mon out because we werent happy with 6 th place -now we can only dream of such heights.
