.. unfortunately I had a decent post to send to meggers, but shockwave crashed and reloaded the page.. it disappeared... ... whites, I wouldn't criticise BTID too much, you/we don't know his personal life... after all one could say the same about you being forever the pessimist (and your a manager?), but let's leave that... ... I'll get back to ya meggers, on the England tactics but have a deadline to meet... work always get in the way... Boomy I'm definitely not an eternal pessimist or even a pessimist at all. I just saw something I didn't like from the first minute DF arrived and everything he did after just proved it more. You're right though I shouldn't make any personal comments on BTID as it's true I don't know him enough so I take that back, but he did set himself up for it a bit.

... okay back to work...

and then there were 7. bet 365 suspended on Lennon now. as OM said, they were slight odds against earlier in the eve..some in the knows are piling in big style !! best price Betfair exchange 8/11. Coyle crept into 8/1 4th fave at one point.

Lennon, Wise, Mowbray and now the clown with the shorts who brought us to the championship...it's like a low budget horror movie...can be amusing at first but total waste of time.

You never know what goes on at interview level, I heard Brendon Rodgers took a 92 page dossier of how he would turn Liverpool round. Can't not be impressed. I've no doubt that Dougie probably gave an impressive interview sharing his vision because he could talk the talk.
Gartside if it is Lennon has not appeased the fans on this. It will be a mixed response(not bad just unsure/underwelhmed). He needs to hit the ground running as Dougie did! Otherwise the fans will turn. Not on the manager this time on the guy who's picked 5 bad eggs in a box of 6.
Hear Alan Thompson is part of the Brum set up so could be a reunion and a "fancy a job, mate" conversation. That would get the fans back!

If it is Lennon (still hoping not) that surely flys right in the face of Gartside's criteria that the next manager must have considerable Championship experience. The guy has spent four years in the SPL so how does that work? I just totally give up with Gartside and if it is Lennon I for one am finished with BWFC. I've got more in my life than suffering frustration I don't need. Football generally isn't what it was for me anyway so I can find loads more things to do with my Saturday afternoons and if Management isn't going to take supporters views into account at all then stuff them. Gartside should have gone after his last four failures and the fact he's now being allowed to select a fifth I find utterly incredible. Having voted with my feet a year ago I'm now seeing how easy it is to distance myself from the club which at one time I would have felt impossible. Anyway I'll see what happens and hope Garty surprises me.

Of the candidates I wouldn't presume to know who is the best fit and I don't think we can prejudge their chances of doing well. All the ones in the frame have some pedigree and given the current situation that's both surprising and welcome. Personally I do not want my club to associate or identify itself with the acknowledged attitude of Mackay. I don't see how he could be appointed. Other than that let the cards fall where they may. It is odd though that in a multi million professional business so many key appointments are made by amateurs

Surely the SPL is a similar standard to the EC? I can't say I've watched Celtic play a lot, so not sure how he sets his teams out etc but he can't be all that bad given the glowing praise I saw him given by one of his old players? The way that guy talked about him it was Sean Dyche but a smaller, thinner version!
Personally I'd prefer Chris Hughton, but then, what do I know .. I thought things were going pretty average with DF and the corner was almost turned until this seasons shite. If it is Lennon then let's give him a chance to see what he can do. What is the going rate with fans now? 10 games .. lol

MacKay... a bad boy, but does his teams managed outweigh his recent attitude, as you say... I don't know... Joey Barton, once regarded as a thug, is now regarded as a philosophical person these days... ... not sure what you mean by that either Andy... (I assume you mean multi million pound/dollar business) there's more to running a club than just hiring a manager... to me that's really a hit and miss process... are you suggesting that a club should go to the players and ask who they want to deal with?...

Same standard as the EC, what planet are you on it's probably akin to League 2 apart from one or previously two exceptions. As for Freedman nearly turning the corner apart from this season, how can you be so blind? The guy was an utter liability from day one and we sunk lower and lower from that point. Tell me, because you haven't so far, one good or positive thing you can factually see that he did for this club. Just one will do.

Likely I'm on YourAnus .. whichever planet I'm on you'll have the benefit of always being completely right and me completely wrong. If you read other posts you'll see what I thought DF was doing well and I think AndyL summised a lot of my similar thoughts in another thread recently. Regardless, have a happy always right day, today .. and for many days to come.
