I don't think Moyes will come here or go to any second division club.

Who in the EPL will be giving Moyes a gig? Watford might need a new manager come the summer, but their owners appear to prefer options from the continent. Maybe Palace if they start off poorly, but we'll see if Moyes is willing to wait.

I'm skeptical of our ability to convince him too, but I don't think it'd be because of noticeably better options elsewhre.

i wouldnt mind  moyes or pearson however come next saturday the merry go round will start, i reckon newcastle, everton, palace, bitters, watford and maybe sunderland will be looking for a new manager so if i was a manager out of work i would be waiting hence pearsons comments from weeks ago that he would be making no decisions until the end of the season

have we even spoken to either of them?

We are led to believe Steve Hollis in a pub in that Warwickshire asked Mr and Mrs Pearson what they would like to drink.  Word is Mrs Pearson had a Babycham and Mr Pearson had a pint of Cillit Bang.

I have a horrible feeling that , given the lack of progress,we are going to end up with yet another non entity as our slow decline continues.

Not really a lack of progress, they know who they want but it's linked to the sale of the club.

id like to believe we have someone lined up, to do that we would have had to have had initial contact. moyes was quoted a couple of weeks ago that he hadnt been in any contact with us

id like to think that they have been approached given how long ago we got rid of garde

Bearing in mind the next managee is linked in with the possible sale, I think it"s safe to assume that people have been approached.

Therefore that should lead to a good appointment.

 There is no way we would see the scenario of the out the box McLeish signing. No way would two completely different parties would agree.
I'd say whoever is lined up is well regarded in the football world. I'm going for Pearson, not one I'd choose but probably as I think otherwise, a good choice.

There's a reasonable chance that each of the "three" interested groups will have approached their own manager.  Therefore, depending on each groups origin/means ($$), it's possible that three managers are provisionally lined up and hopefully doing some of their own groundwork. 

Whilst it shouldn't be any of Randy's business this might also be one of the factors that Randy is considering when assessing who has the "passion and drive" (or whatever it was they said) to drive the club forward.

Here's hoping...

You failed to mention the Dettol chasers.

Lunch apparently was a deconstructed sandwich of dishwasher tabs on lighting grilled brillo pads with a drizzle of Jif.

If his reign has shown anything, its that Lerner couldn't pick the right manager regardless of availability and resources.

It would be strange if we got a multi-billionaire owner or owners and they appointed Mick McCarthy.

Strange that he's got a pair of geckos and it's one from Wales and one from Russia.
