This is what makes me laugh about the new manager debate, so many are saying ‘x’ would be a disaster but ‘y’ would be brilliant. We have zero clue. A name, a former player, foreign, British, a current top manager (within reason of who we could realistically get) doesn’t automatically = success

NSWE/Purslow got the right man the last time around so until they show me they can’t make good decisions then I’m backing them to choose the right man for us again now

Hopefully they’ve been sounding people out for a while in preparation. This has been coming for some time.

We should be beyond the point where we take hopeful punts on unproven or limited experienced managers. Our options are no longer restricted because of low budgets or low expectations.

Getting him would be a massive coup.

Agreed (as long as it's not Gerrard) ;)

And atleast if we're losing he can entertain us with his many techniques of flicking shit into his mouth on the touchline.

Hope not, as that would mean it was 2006 and I wouldn't be of legal drinking age - and then how would I get through all this?

This sounds right for me
no messages from Sir Alex or Doug looking down the back of his Sofa for a few pennies and a cut price bargain

What i find is interesting they have not mentioned who is in charge of training etc which leads me to believe someone is close to being appointed

I hope you're right. But if they appoint Gerrard, Lampard or Terry, it will show that they have less of a clue than us. Or, indeed, than any six year old who has ever read "Shoot!" magazine.

They should be looking to appoint someone who makes the world sit up and take notice, not Sherwood mark II.
