Lambert and Martinez hold the power at their respective clubs so if we are after either of them it shouldn't be too long a process.

If we can get a manager in before the Euro's that'd be great.

I still cant believe he WAS ever manager of this great club.


Now lets move forward

Perhaps we could have a 1984 type memory hole to wipe this period out of the clubs history. 

Then again, the club would never learn from it's mistakes.

Be interesting to see what words the club use in the press release
Don't suppose they will hold their hands up & say we totally made a complete fuck up of this appointment, apologies to all the suffering fans

Any new appointment today and McLeish could sue us into orbit for constructive dismissal.

I think we may top Man City's celebrations at the Albert Hall tonight if this happens.

Quite, not even our board is that naive.

Thank you for the image of McLeish doing the David Brent dance.

I think there was a collective 'heart in mouth' moment when the SSN yellow breaking news ticker came out, but it turned out to be Gary Neville being given a job on the England coaching staff.

I think they should give him a pound for a point and a pound for the goals and a bonus for goals scored from corners for his payoff.

It's likely he has been offered a compromise agreement to stop him suing in the future for unfair dismissal. He'll have to talk with his lawyers first so I don't see this being announced for a day or so.
