I would punt at Steve McClaren. Local links, knows the team and would be a great director of football for Nicky B. Ticks all the local links criteria and has the experience mentioned by Clarky on Humberside yesterday having worked with the National set up.
Yes, should be announced fairly soon, and as I said, it was Nick's decision of who to have as his number 2.
Who is the chap from Withernsea? He might have been mentioned, but I can't for the life remember his name......
No it's not, I know very clearly from better than a good source that it's going to be Rafa Benitez. It's just a matter of when, but it's definite.
Firstly he's too expensive. Secondly, he wouldn't want to come to City and be placed as an assistant manager. Pie in the sky!
Just throwing a name in the hat but what about Peter Taylor he brought Nick to the club and always goes on about how his wife loved the area and wants to move back
Steve Wigley would be a good shout as an assitant manager. Well experienced and has worked for us before. With the youth and enthusiasm of Barmby as (caretaker) manager we could be on to a good thing.
He also does the hospitality stuff at old Trafford. I had to go to watch a champions league game with man U v Porto. Pearson was there, which was the highlight for me. Corporate hostility = bored to tears.
Man United corporate is utter ****e, I had a box for our game in our Premier League debut season, the food was inedible and it's like having dinner in an office block.
I know what you mean about the corporate boxes at OT. I've been there a few times with clients and very poor every time. I thought it was more like a small portacabin than an office though!! Una, I think the joke's wearing a bit fin now
