    Exactly.

    I wouldn't mind introducing Roger East to the business end of shotgun.

    Like I said, it happens all the time in domestic football. I'm not sure if Southampton has poached anyone recently. I know you've certainly been poached. So have we. If it's acceptable in domestic football, it's hypocritical to say it's unacceptable in international football. Arguably, there should be some kind of managerial transfer window at the very least.

    Don't think a managerial transfer window will interest the clubs....for every manager you might want to keep there will be 2 you want to ditch. The clubs will want to shift an unsuccessful manager even though a hefty pay off is usually involved.

    Well, that would be for managers currently under contract. Managers out of contract you can sign whenever. You could sack your manager whenever too, as long as you realise you would not be able to acquire a manager who's presently under contract. Therefore you would need to sign a non-contracted manager or use a caretaker manager within the club.

    At least stoke fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

    Just goes to show, if you wait around long enough telling people you should get a job, you'll apparently get one. Screw starting at the bottom.

    Apart from being a popular Welsh player, what qualifications does Giggs have for such a senior appointment? What do I know....probably turn out to be a genius.

    Wasn't Hughes given the Welsh job under similar circumstances awhile ago?

    In fairness I think it's a bit different with international football... Quite often you get managers take charge of their country as their first job... Particularly the lesser nations with a smaller pool.

    Me too.

    Redknapp is still out of work after being sacked by Birmingham isn't he.

    Mmmmmmmmmm, spend millions in transfer window on useless has beens certain relegation and financial ruin.

    Nah, we couldn't wish that on them could we. :emoticon-0127-lipss

    I just heard this on the radio. Very sad. What a man and what a player. The abuse he and his team mates, Batson and Cunningham took in the 70s was shocking.

    RIP
