Two more and you'd have a full team.

Errr ..... On 20 May 2010, Boothroyd left Colchester club to take over Championship side Coventry City. :whistle::whistle:

You just trying to wind me up? cos it ain't going to work. :whistle::D England winning the world Cup for me would be the ultimate. Never going to deviate from that so why keep bangin on about it. I live and breathe Coventry City every single day of my life. What was more important to me this...

All the players who didn't perform to anything like an acceptable standard at home and away games last season can proudly stand up and say 'I did that!'

Nope. Daft question.

First thing I would do is to find out who has got fire in their bellies and a bit of spirit and desire about them. After deducing that that is probably only about 4 players at the club I would keep them and fook the rest of them off.

If it's Brown I will give him 3 games and that's it!!!!

Worried? As this is probably the most important signing the City will have made since 1961, yes. Just a tad.

Fair analysis from a very decent poster on GMK here me thinks. Wise PRO: got Millwall to a cup final and Swindon and Leeds to the top of the league we're in. CON: long time out of management, Eric Hall, Newcastle debacle. Still the top contender for me. Brown PRO: 12 months at Hull: CON...

I've said all along I would like Paul Tisdale, but I knew we wouldn't get him. Would be happy with Wilder too and Wise, if only for the inspiration and revolution he might bring. I just don't want someone on a downward spiral and that is why I am totally against Brown and Ince etc.

Whereas Brown you would beat to death with a toffee hammer?

Okay just a couple of comments from the Preston forum, but it is stuff like this that worries me. Whilst I agree that the players aren't 100% innocent, they aren't responsible for being played out of position, they aren't responsible for the manager not knowing what his best side is and...

Err, but they then went 4 weeks without a manager and caretakers in charge before appointing Westley. The uncertainty affects things, as it surely is doing here too. Hence the worse results since Thorn went.

Tis indeed. Think we need an inspirational figure to be honest, but if we can't do that we need someone on the up and not on the way back down. Otherwise another Peter Reid scenario is going to start brewing. Would be happy with Wise because of the inspiration I think he would bring, but would...

To see how the fans would react and boy and the peasants revolting!! Can I be first to say 'Brown out?'

GMK don't seem to chuffed about Brown either. Always knew they had good taste over there. ;) 'Abysmal at Derby, a good 18 months at Hull otherwise abysmal, and abysmal at PNE. Apparently we're expecting him to buck a trend. Fucking hope this is wrong. ' 'Would be an horrendous...

Because he's had his moment in the sun and then failed since. Last job 29% win ratio. Not good enough for what we require. That will get us nowhere other than into midtable mediocrity.

Agree. He did really well to keep Hull in the Premier, but it has been pretty much downhill since then and if he's so good why has he been out of work so long and no-one else snapped up his services?

What about the 'won just 1 game in the last 15 at Hull' worker? And if he's a miracle worker why hasn't he simply walked into another job after his sacking last year and instead just gone into to football punditry? Why haven't clubs been clamouring for his services if he is so good?

I'm not at all sure about Dyche. Just the one season and made 11th place with Watford. Jury still out for me. I will be deeply saddened if it is Phil Brown though and not too much happier if it is Kevin Blackwell.
