Next manager?

Next manager markets usually get suspended overnight.

Isn't that an old Lonnie Donegan song?

If it's close to being announced I would imagine it would be Henry but I was expecting them to get someone in with more of a track record.

Let's be honest, we are all shooting in the dark. They could have been talking to anybody for a couple of weeks now. What seems like a quick appointment could have actually been in the pipeline for weeks or even months. They might even have been provisionally sounded out prior to the takeover.

I've just been reading his managerial record on Wiki (Kinky Flores that is) and it does seem to be a bit of a mixed bag.

I still like the idea of AVB. He's not in work either.

Personally I wouldn't want AVB. I think any manager who has been around a while will have a mixed managerial record. Bruce had been promoted four times and relegated twice when he joined us.

Can you imagine Villas-Boas having to work with our defence?

They'd have to widen the league table in all the papers to fit four-digit numbers in the goals against column.

I seem to recall Ossie Ardiles wanting tackling banned a few years back. He also favoured a front five when he was at Spurs, which would be a perfect way to fit in all of our wide players. You heard it here first, get your money on Ossie.

Who on earth voted for Moyes and Allardyce? Haha.

I think back wistfully to when Moyes was everyones first choice every time a manager was sacked

So does David Moyes.

Couldn’t find O’Neill with Petrov as no2  so picked AN Other.

Moyes, Allardyce & Bruce belong in the Jurassic time zone....

Marvellous!

I'm sending that to my mates who have been in a Cardiff skiffle band called Railroad Bill, since university in the mid-80s.

Dear God. I'd rather have Fry and Laurie.

They are now. In the good old days I rinsed a bunch of them overnight when we appointed Houllier.
