I did suggest that on one of the other threads and felt daft while I was writing it. But as conspiracy theories go, about Short waiting for the result of this tie, and him not yet recruiting someone, it ain't a bad one. But that's all I think it is, a conspiracy theory.
Aye, it's also going to be O'Neil and McCoist, depending on which source you want to believe. An approach isn't an offer, it's just talking to them at the end of the day. I take todays gossip simply as we've entered interview stage. Not bowled over by the three touted as in the running. O'Neil has never managed close to this standard at club level and international football is a differant kettle of fish. Mcoist seems under qualified and uninspiring and I saw some stats on Heckingbottom which don't inspire with the state of our defence. Looking pretty bleak.
Pearson for me as well. Reading through his managerial experience he would certainly sort out the wasters from the grafters. He has a huge amount of Championship experience as well. I had forgotten that both Leicester and Brighton were in League one in 2008! Where, on this white-knuckle roller coaster, will Short take us next?
