Didn't Wise do something similar at Newcastle under Ashley?

Any managerial appointment has a massive risk element though. I've seen appointments really heralded quickly go to shit and other appointments that are met with disdain turn out to be really succesful. Obviously clubs have got to look at CVs and track records and meet people in person to assess...

Jay Kay for DoF

Didnt realise it was them even though I was there! There's a lad who works in our Liverpool branch who stewards at Everton and he said they were the worse fans he'd had to deal with when they played in the cup at Goodison. Loads of trouble between themselves. They pull from a few different...

We played Maidstone but we played someone else in round either before or after and I think it may have been them rather than maidstone

Don't know much about them but I'd imagine managing City in the Championship is a long way away from managing PSV. Edwards is the only one who's actually achieved what we want to do. Again, he doesn't particularly excite me but I'm probably leaning more toward a big name candidate like everyone...

Given where RVNs come from you could probably say the same about him. I'm not particularly banging the drum for Edwards but if the objective is to get promoted he's the only one with that on his recent CV and who did it on a fairly tight budget.

Fair comment. Not a huge fan but was more a pop at the people who run it and the ridiculous lengths they go to to protect parasites like wasps. They actually achieve the seemingly impossible by making the football authorities look competent.

Who's in the running for DoF?

I doubt whoever gets it will be here more than a couple of seasons tops. It's the way it goes. Having the same manager for 7 years is incredibly rare and in all liklihood won't happen again for some time.

How many didn't have parachute payments?

Roberts and Austin? If true I wonder what swings it for RVN with them?

Agree about Moyes. Merely saying he'd be a good candidate. I still think it will be someone no-ones mentioned.

Couldn't remember his name but I think that's sounds right

Not sure. I'd I imagine he came up with a lot of names but they were the most eye catching. Wonder if he was the one who spotted Boateng and Roussel?

He never trialled. We had a scout at the time, who's name escapes me, whose job it was to put forward players who had potential and that we could develop. RVN and Henry were 2 he identified. It might be in the book Staying up.

His Preston side in the Championship played some good football. He became, let's say, far more pragmatic in the EPL.

Your me bess fuckin' mate, but I'm gonna have to let you go, its breaking my fucking heart pal.

He's light years ahead of them as an owner. But that still doesn't mean I believe everything he says or agree with everything he does.

No thanks mate, I've just put one out.
