If Redknapp arrived here, being paid or not, I'd seriously consider packing it all in.

I am agreeing with you sickbeggar.  Some of the most successful men and women I have ever met have been thick - outside their specific field.

hmmm. that is very true. thought it was just me who thought that

I was talking to an ex champion jockey the other day.  We talked about a race with 18 entries being divided into two races.  Great he said, two eight horse races.  One of the best racing brains in Newmarket could not divide 18 by 2.

Seems to be a really 'meh' field of options, I don't envy the task facing Dr Tony, Round, Little etc of finding the right mixture of talent, uncompromising ruthlessness, motivation, drive, tactical nouse, winning experience, oh and affordability/availability/willingness to work in the championship.

Alladyce - damaged goods, dull football
Redknap - see above even if his media mates keep maintaining his illusion as a legitimate football genius
Sherwood - please God, have we not suffered enough
Bruce - how desperate have we become that we now regard him as a serious option
Warnock - [pukes]
McLaren - [pukes even more]
Pearson - [punches self in face]

Wish I could equally come up with a list of positive options, but don't really know enough about those suggested to say.  Good luck our Tone, you have your work cut out.

So we're all agreed then? Nasty dodgy 'Arry is the only man unpleasant enough to get something out this team of work-shy softies? Just think who'd he'd bin and added bonus he likes youth players. Him or Bruce? No contest for me,.

There are other managers apart from those two.

Redknobb, Bruce or setting our collective faces on fire?

They can do wonderful things now as far as facial reconstruction is concerned...

“I do not always know what I want, but I do know what I don't want.”

Either Stanley Kubrick or Woody Allen, depending on who you believe.  And no, that isn't a covert reference to pube head MO'N.

Haven't heard that name in a while. He's been out of work for a while now.

If it has to be a Redknapp, can it at least be Louise ?

Even Sutton and Savage managed it.

I can't believe Sherwood's name is getting mentioned - really what does he have in his favour?
