I'm interested to know your justification for that. It's 11 years since he led Wales in the Euros, but since then it's been pretty downhill, with his longest stint being 11 months in China where he was sacked with the team in the relegation zone.

Yeah. A lot of calls for Henriksson to be left out on here but as he's been signed on a long contract, no one was leaving him out and looking like an idiot.

Lunchtime drinking is never a good idea

If that's true then Sparky has gone up even further in my estimation

Are you his agent, or related to him in any way ?

Hedges likely played his last game for Rovers.

Remember somewhere somebody said Ferguson went into Hughes' office and said he wanted to leave and Hughes' reply was 'well get the fuck out of my office then'

Tin hat on but Coleman looks a good shout to me, thought so as soon as his name came up, although I wouldn't have thought of him I'll admit.

Nostalgia always overtakes when there isnt a managerial vacancy. Robbie Savage has only had a couple of brief spells outside the football league at clubs with big budgets. If he wasn't Robbie Savage, he wouldnt be considered. Mark Hughes did well here 20 years ago. His last 2 jobs are Carlisle where he isnt pulling up any trees and Bradford. And Tim Sherwood doesnt even warrant further discussion.

Great idea!

Let me be clear first, I don't think we should bring Hughes back, that ship sailed long, long ago. But to be fair to him on Savage comparisons, Carlise took him on after letting Simpson bring in about 15 players in the transfer window then bombed him off a couple of days after it shut! Carlisle were adrift at that point and he nearly got them out of it. Not to say that's acceptable but there is some context to the situation. I think the damage had been done already at Carlisle, consecutive relegations and a pretty poor culture all told. This year Carlisle must be very disappointed, they've got a massive wage budget and if Rochdale win their games in hand should realistically run away with it. Given the investment at Carlisle along with their crowds I would think Hughes would be off at end of the season if they're not promoted.

Well, I knew after less than five minutes, he was shit...

He's a decent prospect Pratt, but we're probably going for experience with Cashin, given the position we're in.

BlackEye Rovers. Good times.

Why? Because he was a great player and did a good job as manager here years ago? He is managing Carlisle for a reason.

Erik Horneland. The one I mentioned with links to Tronstad is being linked to Aberdeen.

I'd take Hughes in a heartbeat.

Hughes was good for us but I don't want him back. His career has been on the slide for years

Me too...

Well, had head scan (MRI) last week and this morning had a full body CAT scan, all "routine" nowadays 😄 Waiting to get the results and then sign the consent forms to start Chemo. All good 👍

Certainly. But he isn't registered due to his injury, so what do we do when he is fit? It's a tricky one but the highest level he can go to is National League and that's probably better for him at this point than more u21 football. Only non-league clubs can take loans now our window is closed. A game he should never have been playing (as I know you know).

I loved it when we got nicknamed the bully boys in Sparkys ERA. Great memories

One of my favourite managers. His time in charge of us was superb, great times. I'd hate to see him come back and be treated like crap by these fucking cretins.

pleased for them, looking forward to their documentary of this season already
