I think it would finish him off Ron within five minutes of taking the post

It's because McLeish was shit. The fact that he was knuckledragger shit just compounded matters. If Pep Guardiola was a knuckledragger, does any bright spark out there think we'd turn our noses up at him?

Yep, the fact he got a team relegated was the issue for me. We rewarded failure and put him in charge at our club.

Relegated twice and had somehow managed to finish third in a two horse race with Rangers.  When you add that to the fact he was manager of Birmingham city, it was a bona fide 'WTF' moment.

Gabby would choke on his KFC if it came off. Its just possible that Reg Hollis has heard of him. None of the others though! The press conference would be entertaining though!

Exactly. For what it's worth I'd be happy with Rowett this summer. He probably wouldn't be my first choice but we could do a lot worse.

Our board aren't daft enough to go back there for a manager after what happened last time i.e. with the backlash of where he came from...are they?

no , but if they did , do you think rowett would accept the job if offered

Why on earth wouldn't he?

Because it's a massive high risk job - terrible track record, owner who wants out, boardroom in disarray, players who are clearly not up to it, no money. Plenty of reasons to say "No thanks"

So still a far better proposition to the one that his current employer was in when he said yes to them?

On that logic he is still Burton Albion manager.

As he likely wishes he was. Anyway, we shall see

[PaulWinch again]

For the record I'd rather we keep Garde, because I think if he could sign some of his own players and get rid of those he clearly doesn't want we'd probably do ok.

[cdbearsfan]

sign some players

Those were the days.

To be fair there's plenty I wouldn't choose before I got to Neville

Agreed. I dont particularly want him but there are a lot I want less... if that makes sense.

[Tony Erdington]

why not try try a manager from Aldi?

[Tony Erdington]

It wasn't who or what he was - he came from them and that was all that mattered to some of our supporters.

Yeah agreed,

But what made it worse was the directive the fella was given, ie cut the wage bill, and in doing that , getting rid of some of our decent players , it didn't exactly win him favour from those that were prepared to hang him any way. and then we had the snowball affect. and fuck it even the most learned h&v scribes were preparing his crucifixion
