i don't want to come across as insensitive to MON's wife or doubt what people say but where is it reported that she is ill again???
Ahem, didn't Newcastle bring in Joe Kinnear closely followed by Ian Dowie? I rest my case.
This!
**** right off Chappaz you arrogant, patronising prick!
Don't **** yourself with anger there boyo.It could be surprisingly difficult to secure a good manager. As sad as it is, most managers just want good money and cushy managerial jobs which aren't too difficult. They aren't interested in big challenges which could put their reputations at risk if they don't pull it off.
I actually cannot recall any team who have sacked their manager whilst in the 'danger zone' and appointed one of the best managers available, so if you guys pull it off it'll be a first.
Aston Villa did it when they got MoN
Didn't they get him from the start of the new season? Imo that's totally different to hiring a manager in the middle of the season. Players can be on a low-confidence slump which is challenging to steer out of.
Starting from day one of a season just involves a fresh start and seeing how well the club can do. Starting from the middle of the season during a bad run is more about 'stopping the slide' and 'reversing the damage'.
Like I said, you guys could well bag one of the better managers out there. It's just difficult to lure them - especially if they are sought after.
Just been on to my contact on Merseyside and apparently David Moyes feels like he needs a new challenge, could it be Sunderland?

What case? That you're agreeing with me?
Joe Kinnear is not a good manager. He's ****e with virtually no pedigree whatsoever. That just matches what I said perfectly, that teams in difficultly near the bottom struggle to bring in quality proven managers. We had a boatload of cash, but who could we attract? Joe bloody Kinnear.

Rednapp replaced Ramirez whren they were in deep, deep **** (bottom 3 actually) and took them to the top half in his forst season, then the Champs League a couple of seasons later.
O Neill or Hughes would be fantastic for the club imo.
Arry may not be everyones cuppa but he is a top manager of a top team.
