Curbishley isnt even on the list on Betfair?

They have these things over here called FAX machines you can send things like job applications in seconds. I'm surprised they have not caught on over there yet. Facetiousness aside, I said "postal applications" because that's exactly what they were described as in the article I was referring to. Postal meaning sent by post. Not by fax. Didnt really think it was all that ambiguous.

Who needs swear words?!

It did occur to me - quite how you would receive 20 postal applications for a job on the same day as it becomes available is beyond me.

I dont get it.

Are we really that small a club??

Now then that's a bit unfair! On the basis that Emerton was a cracking player at his previous club and he's also looked good for the Aussie team, maybe, just maybe SOuness wasn't getting the best out of him. Emerton is one of the players who's progress I'm looking forward to under the new boss......... Absolutely Dave. Emerton has it, of that there is no doubt. Souness wasnt getting it from him, most other managers seem to have in the past. Fingers crossed.

Hughes has a good squad of players with Wales, a squad that should be on the verge of qualification for a major tournament every time. He's hardly worked miracles with them. Not a shot at you Bryan, just cant understand why so much support for this guy that has exactly zero experience. You're right about one thing though - the list of potential candidates is hardly awe-inspiring.

How can you be the best there is without having credentials? Surely credentials are what seperates the best from the worst?

Ketchup?

Hopefully Jansen will be wearing a helmet this time........

Drama Queen.

I miss not being able to swear on the messagebaord, probably not as much as Tris and Manc Blue but still it reminds me of the good old days Hahaha

You make a compelling arguement.

So, 7 or 8 games at international level, where he ultimately failed anyway............ Have we learnt nothing from the Hodgson/Harford/Kidd debacles?

Can someone explain to me what on Earth Mark Hughes has done in football management to make so many of you want him at the helm of our club?

I'll reply to you Bryan as soon as I've removed my tongue from my cheek.

Can we merge all these threads into one? I'm struggling to keep up here.......

Tugay as player manager.

McMahon?! You must be joking. If we dont get someone with Premiership/top level experience then this will be an enormous regression.

I just got a Vodafone alert saying that Souness is confirmed as Newcastle boss and will take over AFTER the Rovers game. Did we stipulate that?

Unbuckle your seatbelt and get out. I'm not even going to stop the car.

I hope he goes.

Its time Matt moved on, its clear as day that he's finished at Rovers. Bloody shame though.

We lost points versus Southampton because we werent good enough to hold on to a lead. Ditto Man United. Fair enough, the referee's made some bad decisions, but it certainly wasnt solely down to them. Bad officiating can only be blamed so many times, things can only happen so many times until you have to start looking slightly deeper for the cause. We bring these things on ourselves by leaving the door open for teams. How they get through that door is incidental.
