    do you want Dodds to take over? Or do you want him to get the job so you can moan at the club for hiring him? Don’t get why you’re constantly saying you think he’s getting the job!

    I don't think I'd be comfortable with him getting it but I'd back him if he did. I just believe and feel he'll get it. That's all.

    No, Neil was on a rolling contract so he could leave when he wished.

    I'll raise you Jordan Henderson & Jordan Pickford both brought through by McNamee and Kevin Ball. I'm not saying that Dodd's couldn't do the job but it would seem unlikely as past experience tell you that when it goes wrong.

    The club were compensated for his departure. He said so himself.

    No, the bloke is a snake. Dropped us in it on the eve of a match and there is no reason why he couldn't have waited a day or 2 to talk to them.

    Thought it was unprofessional and shows what kind of bloke he really is.

    **** him.

    What do you mean by 'failed', interviews are a two way thing, usually with the dominant position is held by the interviewer. It may well be that the management decided that the interviewees just didn't meet the criteria, that's not failing, that's making the right decision.

    Unlikely for most I would have thought, for me, not a chance!

    Nope. We are a level or two above what he can offer. L1 or Scotland next for him

    I liked Neil, especially the way he’d research our opponents then change players, tactics etc to best counter them

    I also liked how he didn’t take any crap from journalists

    His personality etc didn’t stop us getting promoted so it wasn’t a problem for me

    The problem was he didn’t fit in with the Director of Football/Head Coach system. For that reason alone I wouldn’t have him back if he offered to work for free <laugh>

    I respect anyone who comes out as ITK, it gets rough as a badgers arse when the novelty wears off

    About 15 year ago I tried my hand to show up a gobby poster

    Not many people on the little board I was on had heard of Newsnow so for a while I had godlike powers

    It felt class at first but led to nothing but trouble <laugh>

    My disgust then wasn't as much about him actually leaving but the underhanded way he and Stoke had gone about things.

    That alone would make me say no, but he went because he wasn't happy about the club's sporting set-up; that is still in place so he rules himself out on that count.

    What are you talking about? It's my feeling dodds will get it.

    Stop looking for a chew. I have my opinions. If you don't like, put me on ignore instead of replying with antagonistic ****e.

    Ghandi Floss on RTG (not sure if reliable) has just said that Still was approached last week.
