Which muppet can we appoint next?

Anyhow, Nixon claims we are making progress with what he describes as a decent manager, someone who Anderson wants according to Nixon. Not sure whether that means he is also someone Deano rates.

No idea who though. He says he may write a story on it tomorrow.

Indeed. I see Sheridan"s odds have come in today to 11/2. Not sure how much the betting market is an indicator for a job nobody cares much about outside of Bolton in this case, but it would keep DSB happy and I suspect most would be relatively satisfied if John did return.

Deano's laying it on the line early.....

Aye. But, judging from the photo accompanying the article, Deanno isn't exactly leading by example.

Heh! I think Sheridan would be a risk (we'd be a step up, and he's not yet proven himself a longterm manager) but I'd be content if he were involved in the interview process and adjudged to be the right man.

As for odds, they only reflect a bookmaker's desire to protect his money, not necessarily the likelihood of an event occurring. For instance, between Jun 1 and Aug 5 one bookmaker's PR arm sent me 14 "odds slashed" emails. Not one of the slashed-odds events came to pass within a reasonable timeframe; the vast majority of them didn't occur at all. You'll never see a bookie on a bike.

Yet both freedman and lennon came in saying players weren't fit enough. By the time they left they seemed less fit than when they arrived

I think they were in good physical shape under freedman and lennon benefitted from that. Now they look like a pub team.

To be fair, they've looked like a pub team for a few seasons now

I can't argue on the fitness as I've not been to matches, but I do recall people complaining about it, possibly unfairly I guess.

So Nixon saying it is John Sheridan. Anderson and Townsend agree but Holdsworth not so sure. Compensation would be much less than Phil Brown.

You really should stop being unfair on Brown's face

Mind copy pasting for those of us who can't access twitter? Been somewhat out of the loop for the past few weeks with travel.

@JRBWFC Yeah ... but somebody needs to be able to deliver a manager. Lot of chiefs about. But no boss.

Can't help but feel the fact #bwfc in an embargo would scupper chances of attracting a manager currently in a job. Would apply to Brown too.

[thebish]

has townsend been introduced to the mix simply so there is an odd number of people to agree/disagree - thus always producing a clear result either way?
