I'll Just Leave These Here...

Yes this is in my view exactly it.

He hasn't ruled himself out. And his initial quotes screamed that he would like it, without burning his bridges.

If he didn't have links to Bolton and Deano then I think the chances are he'd not have much interest in trading a good thing at Southend for a far less certain future here.

what??? I thought your view was that our stadium and fan-base made Bolton an obvious no-brainer choice for Brownie! Now you seem to be saying that those things wouldn't sway him at all - and it's about previous links to Deano and the club...

(which sounds a lot more like what I said when i said that if he came back it would be for personal financial reasons and/or emotional reasons.)

TBH our last two poach-ees have hardly been soaraway successes.

I'd rather we scout further afield and try and unearth our own gem.

All respect to Browny I wouldn't want to see him down the road in 18 months time with a relegation to League 2 on hic C.V.

aye - I think I agree... Whilst there must be incidences where "going back" to a club has been a roaring success - I still instinctively (and with no factual basis whatsoever!) shy away from the idea of turning back the clock...

This. We're skint, let's go for a cheaper currently unemployed option and one that doesn't pee off another clubs fans.

SKD anyone?

Aye.. One of the incidences allowed for - most def...

We are a bigger club with greater chance of getting back to the top flight in the long run.

But we are a risk right now. Can imagine many managers would bank on a safer thing even if that doesn't have the same reward.

But for any current manager of a league one club if they fancy a gamble we probably have more long term potential than a fair few down there. Equally though we could find ourselves back in financial trouble and in league 2. That is the risk here.

So, your view is more flip-floppy than a particularly floppy and flippy pair of flip flops at Flip Flop Beach, Floppyshire.

I'll ask again in 48 hours.

Thought this was worth a bump - remember when we were chasing Browny?

This reminds me - what's happened to Bobo & Bish? And the Leopard too?

A shame, as I liked both; I've known the Bish for years, have never met Bobo, but liked reading their posts. And yeah, I tend to only habituate The Trotters, partly because of time constraints, but also because I don't want to have my regard for posters diminished by their opinions on irrelevant subjects.

If we're talking absenteeism here, I'm just popping my neb in to re-confirm existence. Well mine anyway.

Don't worry, the next time we play Arsenal I'll write another match report.
