I was also thinking Ashley may fancy Sheffield Wednesday, surely even he wouldn't entertain Bruce now.
He could run through all our old managers - Allardyce, Pardew, Carver, Bruce Houghton - all need work.
Not sure about Allardyce, he sacked him when he appointed Keegan. I think Allardyce only did about 9 months under Ashley.
Yeah Pardew, Pulis and Allardyce are busy doing **** adverts and are history anyway, and Moyes has got his career back on track. Bruce seems the only one who who jump at an Ashley request.....Potter maybe as well considering how much his managerial career has recently gone down the ****ter. But Ashley unearthed Joe Kinnear, so maybe he made persuade an 81 year old Dave Bassett back to work.
He never wanted Allardyce, he tried to sack him before he'd even started, Allardyce was Freddie Sheppard's appointment who he was lumbered with. That was of course in the days of Ashley looking like a tool in a Newcastle shirt in the fans, so at that time, as well as his own dislike of Allardyce, he listened to the fans.
