after burton announced we approached them for pesch, we had higgs come out to deny this saying.... "we had an application from paul for the position. we went back to the chairman of burton and asked to obtain a CV. the chairman granted us that permission and we spoke to paul who said he would have to speak to his wife first. he then said he didn't want to come to bristol and in the meantime the chairman had upped his budget and kept him there. we never offered him a job or interview. all we did was respond by asking for back-up information so we could follow things up." mr higgs cleared that up for us! however.... pesch is now calling higgs a lier! pesch said "he can say what he likes but i can assure you i didn't apply for the job. i was called by a member of the board and asked if i was interested. i did say i have a think about it but then i told them i wasn't interested. why would i make an approach and then turn it down? its silly." so who is telling porkies??? pesch response at the bottom of this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16575643.stm
