Lambert gone

Gareth Southgate - come on a lot recently and he knows the club being a former captain (I'm excluding from my memory how he left)

Actually, that's not a bad shout

Think the times right

I would sooner have Redknapp than Southgate and I detest Redknapp.

I don't wish him any harm but Christ he was terrible

Pat Murphy. What an incredible twat.

I think you are being far too generous

I think he's alright

I've never understood the thing about him. I've always liked him. He took the view about Lerner ages ago being silent, which most of us mocked him about and now must of us think this. Is it down to his love of M'ON ?

I think a lot of it is because he's always been objective and never takes sides. He is, though, a great broadcaster and a very good writer.

I cant see it being Redknap, he's just quit because he cant walk

Moyes? Not my ideal choice but if the alternatives are Warnock or Sherwood..

No Southgate is a ****! And a shite manager.

David Platt is available. Steve Hodge and Ugo Ehiogu and Dwight Yorke too.

On the subject of Pat Murphy he was extremely arsey with me at a radio forum we went to at VP.   Unusually for me, I did absolutely nothing to deserve it.

I didn't think they would do it, simply because no one at the club has any connections in the football world to find an adequate replacement.

I also thought that the club wouldn't want to pay out any more compensation money pre-sale. That said, no doubt anyone that bought the club would only sack him anyway.

Also, sale or no sale, the risk of losing tens of millions of pounds if the club got relegated, which is now a realistic possibility, must now be a major factor.

Came out of a professionals networking event in the centre of Shrewsbury an hour ago, switched my mobile on, and had a stream of happy texts all on the same subject.

Ugo's currently a coach a Spurs U21s.  Have them both back where they belong.
