Peter Withe; "I'd go in and help them for nothing."

Now there is a legend, people.

Whoever comes in I want them to have a noted style of play that we all know we will move towards and is willing to have a team around him that will follow those instructions and stay true to those beliefs. There are a lot of good coaches out there and it still shocks me to this day that Lambert surrounded himself with jokers, and never enough qualified assistants. It was such a display of insecurity that he didn't appoint people who might actually be better than him at certain aspects of the job.

Right now I think it needs more of a short term fix - just getting the points and staying in the division.  And with Randy looking to sell, I think that nay well be the agenda.

That having been said, my vote goes to Laudrup with Laursen as his number 2.

Pity he's a crap manager.

I think he was offering his help in terms of coaching. He also said something about offering his help before, although I couldn't hear properly.

No to Withe, Gregory, Sir Brian, Sir Graham, BFR etc. I can't believe anyone would think they are the men for the job.

Still got the cutting from the evening mail from 1974 when about 90% of us wanted Brian clough.
And we ended up getting some guy called ron
Ah well

Indeed, fantastic to hear and I agree, but not a manager, people

I'd also go and help for nothing, probably with better results than Withe.

I wouldn't want him as manager. I merely found it heart-warming to hear him speak about the club like that.
