O/T (-ish)

Is it possible that, when AP brought Dowie in - as Phil Brown began his 'gardening leave' - it was a deliberate ploy? In order that we'd reach the pits at the same time as Nige became available?
 
Is it conceivable that AP's appointment of Dowie was a ploy.....i.e. Phil Brown had to go on 'gardening leave' and it was necessary to play for time (using Iain Dowie as a stop-gap) until Nige was available, or even persuaded to come to Hull City?

whatever the reason i am glad it happened. NP is just what the club needed. imo.
 
As much as Dowie is a joke, Northern Ireland have had clowns in charge for most the past 15 years. He's as qualified as anyone. The queue for the job won't be very long, there'll be a longer line at the nearest chippy.
 
I've noticed on a few articles, who's that James Lodge on there? I know the guy who was using the name a few years ago seemed to know what he was talking about and could back up anything they were saying, who ever it is now just seems like a WUM. It's not the same person is it?
