I can’t say why for professional reasons but if you’ve got a few quid spare, you’ll pay for Xmas with a few quid on Peter Reid

I’m deleting this in 10 mins to protect the source.

It's got to be Frank Clark or Mike Walker for me.

I know some Liverpool supporters who said he was okay but had his glass ceiling.  Sounds a bit like MON.   We don’t want another goodish but ultimately limited manager.

Yes. But the ceiling for Liverpool that he couldn't break through was winning the Premier League / being successful in the Champions League. We're looking for a manager to get promoted and reestablish us in the Premier League while putting in place a clear style of play. He's more than good enough for what we'd need over the next five years or so.
They were more commenting on his ability for his tactics and out thinking the opponents.  They all agreed he was very decent but the second place was more due to Suarez.  It wouldn’t be the end of the world if we went for Rodgers but I wouldn’t be that excited either.  I’d rather gamble with Smith or Fonseca or Henry.

I’m not a big fan of Rogers but should he think a mid table Championship team is a an upgrade on where he is now, I won’t turn up my nose.

John Carver, Paul Ince, Brian McDermott, Ian Dowie, Brian Laws, Micky Adams, Aidy Boothroyd, Mark McGee, Chris Hutchings.

Take your pick from those mouth watering options.

I don't think that Fonseca is the 'gamble' candidate.
