Interestingly the 2 noses and an Albion fan I work with all hope we get Moyes as they think he is a spent force too. None of them want us to get Pearson, as they think he will have us top 3-4 in that division easily enough.

Cannot see any Manager of any worth taking the job whilst the cretin Lerner is still the owner.
Then in view of the cost cutting the salary on offer is certain to be very much reduced. Lerner's actions leading to the 2 resignations would appear to signal he has no interest in getting the club back up into the Premier as soon as possible but is content to let the club languish in the Championship.

Will probably end up with a 21st Century version of the 1967 Tommy Cummings - for those who were around then.

Are they waiting for the sale to go through before they appoint.  Why would Lerner want to appoint a Manager and pay good money, either in compo or salary, if he can get some other mug to pay the bill?  Hopefully, Brian Little is talking to the preferred man and told them to hold fire whilst the sale has gone through.  Optimistic to the end!!

A nose at work was raving about Preston last night - great attacking football, always pressing the opposition, Garner the striker looks the real deal too if Grayson comes and can bring him too.

I read somewhere that Watford are thinking of binning Flores too after their form recently dipped.

Would be an interesting shout.

Flores practically begged for our job about four years ago, I seem to recall.

It was when Premier League experience was so important.

We went with McLeish.

Rangers' Mark Warburton would be a good shout, too. Tommy Cummings' ( Mansfield Mgr. at the time) equivalent nowadays is probably someone like Paul Cox ( recent ex-Mansfield Manager )who nobody outside of Mansfield has ever heard of, either. About the level we would attract with Lerner and his austerity drive.

With each passing week, the available list of realistic candidates grows more dismal.

YES...and with every passing minute of the Liverpool derby, the more likely it is that Martinez will be a candidate ....4-0 and counting.
Wonder if Roberto Mancini and David Platt would be a good combination ?

Not sure if you're being serious or I just don't get the joke.

The Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini, you mean? Yes, sure he'd jump at the chance.

I did get Telford United from the Conference to 8th in the Prem on Championship Manager 01/02. It was quite a few years back now though, so maybe I'm a bit out of touch. Still think I'd be a better appointment than John Carver.
Would you be comfortable with a 3 years contract at 500K per annum?
