.... I'm still hoping to cash in on Robbie Fowler <laugh>
My £40 bet (£10+£30 free) @50/1 paying £2,000 for him to be the next manager to leave his post woulda been canny based on a daft rumour :emoticon-0105-wink:

Shame Watford sacked Javi Gracia a few days later as it would still be live though I reckon Silva is going to be next :emoticon-0128-hi:
 
Pearson is the latest flavour of the month with the bookies
Down to 3/1 from nowhere tonight.
Bookies must love social media

Echo now saying Parkinson is the favourite...God help us..I really hope Donald thinks this through..Not a good appointment at all if it happens.
I wouldn’t look into it too much as the echo no **** all, they’ll be names coming and going as favourites until SD says so

Recent post by Upthere on rtg reckons he's been offered the job.

Don't really fancy him mainly because his recent record since leicester is pretty ****e
But if they have offered him it so early suspect it may be because Philips will be coming with him
That would be interesting
 
Agree if it happens just trying to convince myself it's ok as long as KP joins him
Hasn't Phillips said he's only looking for a manager's job these days and doesn't want to be a number 2/coach or is that just hearsay?

No, he said last night he wants the job and has applied but in addition he'd talked with someone about being their No. 2. He didn't name Pearson but said the conversation happened on Thursday night and they were at a dinner together.

Thanks for clarifying

The bookies and media are like a glutton at a buffet with this manager malarkey.
'Oh so and so is being interviewed, therefore he is favourite.
One day its ainsworth
Next day it is Parkinson
Then its cook.
Problem is we mere mortals give these sources far too much oxygen by providing clicks

Keane & skp for me the dream team

Keane manager skp coach

That would have us packed out
Yes for a couple of games.
Then reality would settle in.
Keane is the football manager equivalent of an impulse shopper. He's a likeable version of redknapp.
Once the money dries up so do his ideas and managerial acumen.
I dont know how often we have to say this but once short started to make keane accountable for his spending and ask him to justify it he ran a mile. He left an awful mess behind that bruce had to tidy up. A bloated squad full of crap overpaid players on long contracts. Not saying bruce made a fantastic job of it but short had to write of 60m + of debt after keane and the rest of drumaville did one.
He left a mess at Ipswich too. I reckon for any club above div 1 he is on the nose. He seems contemptuous of anyone who hasnt played at a high level and wont accept criticism or accountability.
Re philipps..why has he been out of work so long. If he is ambitious etc why hasnt he tried at a lower level club here or overseas? Even pep ( a cl winner ) went to a Mexican lower league team at the start of his managerial journey. Is this hard yakka too much for skp to consider?
Some fans seem to think the abilities a person had as a player will magically appear when they are a manager. They invariably dont. Just like some people believe nigel clough would be a good manager for us because of who his dad was. It's romanticized bilge

Totally agree with you about clough nothing about him gets me gan

Probably a safe pair of hands out of the lot of them but that's not what we need at this present time

Other people are mentioning Ian Holloway I'd honestly hand my season card in if he became our manager
