Yeah, the more so as squad numbers 32, 33 and 34 were all conveniently vacant... prime loan signing shirt numbers as well. They've been preparing Robins' arrival for a while, the figures are there!

I can't even understand, let alone help. That's what a languages degree does for you

I'm interested to see you've all put Malaga in at centre-back. I saw him against Sheffield United where he had the goal disallowed and looked basically very good. A couple of bizarre passes, but the rest, good. So why is he no longer playing, anyone know?

Just to say I find this thread's title hilarious. Plus, I'm surprisingly upbeat about the appointment. Maybe because it's some news, any news, that isn't unremittingly negative. Maybe a little bit too because it isn't another tired old name that's been doing a mediocre management job for...

You want pedantic: there's only one 'b' in our new manager's surname. Previous poster 'ohitsaidwalker kingpower' just beat me to it but we loyal fans should get the basics straight, should we not? :)

First game October 20th 1986 against Wimbledon: Dave Bennett scored our goal in a 1-0 win. He and Gynn were the most exciting players over the season for me, so one of those two. Obviously, Keith Houchen came more to the fore over that season... I'll go for Dave Bennett

David Smith was phenomenal for a time. Did stuff that wingers were meant to do like carrying the ball, getting round the outside, teasing defenders, good crosses, tricks and jinks plus a few goals.

I was on about him over on the One from Two thread!! I liked Courtney Vine when he came on loan

Me too, and your Scandinavians come across as clever blokes as well. Perhaps he'd do a good job?

Fabien Debec? Stop it now

Ivan Guerrero I'm enjoying this but it's bob use to anyone looking for info about our future manager, so I'll stop Laurent Delorge

Former player, huh? Runar Normann? Jairo Martinez?

Used to love Highfield Road. The Ricoh is a soulless identikit mistake. We've been outsung by the away fans every time I've been there and there are always swathes of empty seats. Somebody must have got very rich selling Highfield Road.
