Nigel Adkins - Gone

[ForestHillBilly]

I think they're holding out for another "big" team either at championship level or with the ambition to be championship level shortly.

Hearing shortlist of 3 with Kenny Jackett top of the list.
Good manager at your lowly level

 

[ElfsborgAddick]

Shortlist of 3

1). Kenny Jackett.
2). Ian Holloway.
3).Neil Harris.

Unfortunately, it could well happen.
Which one is going to be Jackett's assistant?

I doubt TS has been blind-sided by this. LB did not wake up this morning and decide to quit. There has undoubtedly been discussion about where the club is going and what part, if any, LB has in the long term plans and, if any, the nature of that part.

With the background of other job offers being available LB has been in a position to leave if he feels that a better sirtuation is available elsewhere.

Meanwhile TS has had time to line up a replacement to cover the possibility that LB might go elsewhere.

If both sides see the outcome as a success it might well be that LB is relieved of his contractual obligations and Birmingham get their man forr free.

Hopefully it has all been concluded on amicable terms.

As to future coaches, it would not surprise me to see someone from Scandinavia with a good connection into the grassroots, in the same way as Espririto Santo has tapped into Portuguese youth at Wolves. I might put a sneaky bet on Michael Laudrup.

You were doing fantastically well to the last bit, unless you're thinking Laudrup will be putting the boots back on?!!!

I go with Euell if it was between these two but believe it going to be overseas manager ...

Any ideas on who?

I too think it might be Jackett. Perhaps we will learn later today for sure which one has been chosen.

It won't be Jackett.

No Jackett required

You may mock but it appears that others in influential places read this forum.

Laudrup's name has been introduced since my post and the odds are shortening.

I might start doing the lottery...
