Are we an "unprofessional" professional football club?

[Lord Kangana]

Wasn't he at West Ham with Zola aswell?

And Mourinho at Chelsea, won plenty there. Winning the league cup with Liverpool and keeping west ham up might not be as prestigious, but they're significantly better achievements than the current coaching staff have on their CV's.

Massive budget at Liverpool, won a Carling Cup, leading to the sacking of manager. West Ham survived by the skin of their teeth, with the manager being sacked.

It seems his only "success" is being coach for a man who wins everything, everywhere with seemingly limitless budgets. I'm not surprised he has better achievements on his CV. Just not in the environment we are in.

Not really convinced why he has such a good rep.

Don't think you can really judge a coach by the results either way. Too many other factors....

Steve Clarke has resigned from Liverpool due to the Dalglish sacking - is there even the slightest chance he'd come to us?!?! Reckon he would be a great improvement in the assistant manager department.

it'd be nice, I think, as Clarke has an excellent reputation... Let's just assume Liverpool's bad results were King Kenny's fault...

there has to be a plus side of having LSL back at the club - doesn't there? can't he put in a word?

Didn't Clarke arrive as Lee left... maybe he took LSL's job!

Maybe he won't have glowing things to say about Steve Clarke

Oh brilliant, yeh cheers for that. Thanks.

I wonder if installing Sammy Lee as assistant has been considered. Surely he remembers enough from the Big Sam days to make us a little harder to beat.

if he does remember it - he forgot it while he was manager!!!

Being number 1 and are a follower are quite different, although I think that you are fully aware of that

I would definitely have Big Sam back. Anyday. Anyone with me?!

As I mentioned in the West Ham thread I am sort of hoping they don't go up so Sam gets sacked, setting up a glorious reunion.

I was as pissed as anyone over the way he left us but after what's we've gone through since that day, all would be forgiven if he came back to the Reebok.

I agree.

Nope

Too exspensive and i think the garty and sam friendship is finished so no chance of happening

I don't think he'd be too expensive. Not when you consider the cost of relegation.

But you're right about the Gartside/Sam partnership. Gartside would rather get us relegated than admit a mistake.

Actually, that's what he's just done, isn't it?

[plymouth wanderer]

He would want his 300 back room staff back plus about 35 senior players who would be on alot more than we could afford not to mention most of them would probably be on the wrong side of 30

Nothing wrong with that setup but its not good for a club of our size and spending power that's half of the reason where in the trouble now

Im afraid that ship has sailed

Still the best manager the club has ever had tho
