Next manager?

[Axl Rose]

Please god, not another dour Scotsman.

I think I would really consider taking up rail timetable collecting or something if Moyes was given the job.

Also rules out K.Mac judging by his demeanour at the press conference this morning.
I know he is disappointed his mates have gone (he said it) and I know it’s not his main job, but bloody hell, let’s try and show just a little bit of enthusiasm FFS.

Kevin McDonald...needs to be gotten rid of, as soon as possible, also.

I'll never go down to VP whilst McCarthy, Allardyce or Moyes are in charge. Bored of arseholes like that.

[mr underhill]

Me too if it happens and as I said a few days ago K Mac is a cnut who almost deliberately set his stall out to lose the last time he was in charge by consciously binning all the French players. Really fearful we will get tonked tomorrow.

Well i think we can put to bed the theory they had someone lined-up unless they announce someone today.

Moyse now clear favourite at 5/6. Smith down to 12/1.

Not necessarily. They may have wanted to leave it a few days to let the dust settle after Bruce's sacking and possibly to make it look like they didn't actually have anyone previously lined up.

Why?

It would onlynhave been immediate if the one lined up was out of work.

It had better not be David fecking Moyes. I'd actually take Allardyce and maybe even McCarthy over him.

I absolutely don't want it to be Moyes, but I've no idea what he's done to be lumped in with the likes McCarthy, Pardew etc?  Everton were a very decent side and we've seen subsequently what a poisoned chalice post Fegie Man U was and Sunderland was always a lost cause.

The problem is, he did a decent job of keeping Everton as a top half of the top flight team, a position they've pretty much held for 40-50 years so whilst he didn't do anything wrong it wasn't spectacular either. From there he got his dream job and bombed, yes following Fergie was always going to be tough but Moyes didn't help himself by trying to get them to play like Everton had. Since then he's failed in Spain, failed with Sunderland and did enough to avoid relegation with West Ham. He started with Everton when tactics were a lot simpler, even in the premier league, it's the last 8-10 years where the game has really moved on in English football and he, like many others, has been left behind in that time.

Is there anyone stationed at BHX checking incoming flights?

I'm flying out this evening so will keep an eye out. If I see Moyes, I'll push him under a plane.

It's gonna happen next week, I'm sure they'll announce a DOF at the same time, this must have been bubbling away behind the scenes for a few weeks I guess. This Moyes crap has only been stired up by Skybet, so other bookies alter their prices, just like supermarkets altering their petrol prices.

Alan Nixon on Twitter has said that one very serious candidate isn't even in the bookies' favourites.

Villas Boas?
Van Bronckhurst?
Howe?

Klinsmann ?

Dalglish??

No, sorry, my mistake, I thought you said Klansman.

Possibly. I'd still expect the guy to be announced, although not in charge by the millwall game if they had their man ready to take over

[kippaxvilla2]

There’s also the possibility if it’s an existing manager they wait until after the weekend so they can focus on the game. That being us for our game and any incoming manager on theirs.

well if he's still under contract with another club, he's obviously not lined up is he?
