He WAS experienced though at getting Middlesbrough to the top of the table twice and failing to make the play offs. He kept telling us this. Remarkable then that he never seemed to reflect on why this happened twice (and then a third time). If Jackett was available (and resigning from...

Slade's last three jobs have been:- Leyton Orient Cardiff Charlton It's not as if he's frightened of taking over at a club whose owners have a poor reputation

Getting out of this league might not be a problem for the manager this year

The very reason I hate them. Growing up in Leamington in the 1970s/80s if you went to football you either supported us or the Vile. If you didn't you probably supported Liverpool, Manchester United or Leeds.

Amazed that no one has said he made a terrible team selection to start the match against Chesterfield

Except when it was David Bell?

Still can't believe I've just found out Capt M is called Norman

Obvs the cup final but apart from that;- January 1998 Bolton 1 Coventry 5 - from one nil down to a twenty game unbeaten run in the league. Man Utd 0 Coventry 2 in league cup - -Leon Best schools Gerard Pique for 90 minutes 1999 Aston Vile 1 Coventry 4; George and John x2 narrowly edged out...

You do realise they're not actually bricks don't you?

Kevin Gallacher (who had an almost God-like stature at city in my view ) only spoiled his copy book once. Missed the first four games of the season after pulling a calf muscle trying to keep his flip-flops on while on holiday.

we haven't been in the third round for a while....

exactly.I'd be amazed if Bury's budget was anywhere near the level it was last year when they had Clarke, Hussey et al. But that too would be guesswork.

laurie's latest column ends with the most poignant, hurtful and honest assessment I've seen this season.... Football, and watching football in particular, is a pastime that relies on hope. The only reason any of us goes is because they have hope. Hope that things aren’t as bad as they seem...

Just listened in to SBW, the commentary feed is simply Clive Eakin's mic - no CWR studio feed. Could get entertaining when he thinks he's off air - which tbf would be a first :-)

Apart from the previous time he did it (2002) when he lost his game in charge

Ex-Skyblue legend Paul Trollope!!!!

Having worked at Leyton Orient, Cardiff and now Charlton he seems to be on a mission to show that he can work with owners that might give ours a run for their money.

The best available candidate by a mile is Kenny Jackett having had success at everyone of the clubs he managed, Watford (record unbeaten run to stave off relegation) Swansea promotion, FL trophy and took them to top of next division, Millwall promotion, cup final and top 10 in championship and...
