cannot see him leaving Blackpool - plus the old saying is never go back. Look what happened to Gerry Francis......
To get someone in quickly they would have to be immediately available, so not with a club right now. No one has mentioned Curbishley and not even in the betting forecast, has he already said no. Would have possibly liked him if we were up at the end of the season and Neil stood down for the following prem season. We need someone to come in and get things going properly straight away. Zola was at West Ham when TF was trying to buy them so maybe he favours Franco.
Some WUM mentioned Houllier a few weeks back, and I dismissed the idea (think it was '77). But I think he's without a club - might be worth a shout. If I could cherry pick though, I'd want Houghton - he did a very decent job at Newcastle, and he knows how to get the best out of Barton, so he might be able to manage Adel as well.
Given his recent medical history, the life insurance policy for personal terms might be a little pricey?
Ill give up going if we get him back. We get rid of someone with no tactics only to replace him with someone with no tactics, Whats Santos doing these days, we could use another forward!
