    Yeah I'm not saying I'm convinced by Still and he wouldn't be anywhere near my first choice but I'd definitely prefer him to Lampard.

    I don't know how good Still but there's a chance he could be good enough whereas I already believe Lampard not to be.

    He's had relative success in the league we are going to play in next season at least.

    Debatable imo. Don't particularly rate what he did with Derby and while he improved Coventry massively they never should have been as low as they were in the first place.

    Be interesting to see how he gets on next season but hopefully it's not here.

    If he comes we should perhaps adapt a song for him from this.

    An experienced manager. A Cooper or even a Dyche. But no, SR are too clever for the obvious. Why do that when we can get someone cheap who may come good and be worth £££ to the club at a later day? They never ever learn

    I dont think Dyche is the answer but I am amazed Cooper hasn't even been linked.

    I really hope it's because he has stated he only wants a PL job, because if SR haven't even spoken to him then that is a new level of incompetent even for them.

    Yeah I'm assuming he's not remotely interested which is why there's no noise.

    Yeah we'll never get to know who's told them to **** off while laughing before putting the phone down but it seems that we're fishing in a very small pond with the names that have cropped up.

    It's like they know the fan base will turn up regardless so they're not really fussed

    Read the other day that Norwich reached out to Cooper and he had basically dismissed the offer of an interview there, so maybe he just doesn't see himself returning to work/taking a Championship job just now

    Plenty of examples of managers going from mid-table European teams to do well in the Prem, let alone the Champ. Glasner was at Eintract Frankfurt before Palace, and he just won the FA cup.

    The last time we hired a manager with red hair, was Gordon Strachan, and the time before that Alan Ball. So what's everyone worried about?

    It's more the lack of experience and success that i'm concerned with, it just feels like a gamble we don't need to take right now.
    Anyway if it is Still, welcome aboard Will, I dearly hope that i'm wrong and you're the next Poch and not another Pellegrino.

    He had already won the Europa league with Frankfurt in fairness.
