Which muppet can we appoint next?

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

You can't spot the difference between Holding and Wilson either!

Old age..though to be fair that was Worthy

[Bruce Rioja]

I'd say that's pretty successful. If after relegation (as is likely) we are promoted back into the Championship, then finish 10th the season the season after you'd classify our hypothetical manager as successful, no? I'm not clamouring for Brown as our manager, but I think trying to dash down his modest success at Southend is rather unfair.

I think Brucie is just telling Insano to put down the hyperbole thesaurus. Brown looks to have done a good job at Southend, but huge success is a couple notches up the hyperbole ladder for me. 1st season up is often easier than the 2nd, or at least that's how I remember it in the Premiership. Lets see how Brown does next year before chucking around the level 4 hyperbole...

Exactamundo.

That's Lever End's fault

We need Worthy to sort out all these misquotes

Does that about sum it up?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

We're pissing in the bargain bucket. Not gonna do much better than Brownie.

Which basically equates to we're fxcked, then.

[officer_dibble]

I think jiminhios failed his audition.

[officer_dibble]

Infact, if this was a real job interview, he's gone in, asked the female director to put the kettle on milk and one please love, slapped her arse on the way out, called her "a nice bit of totty", dropped his kegs and done a helicopter...

Phil Brown's Southend went in front at home to Gillingham (reasonably comfortable in the play-off zone) but were pegged back and are now three points and three places off the play-offs.

Keith Hill's Rochdale went a goal down and a man down at Oldham but won 3-2. A point behind Southend (four off the play-offs, then) in 11th place; their previous finishes in this division under Hill have been 9th (2011, after which he left for Barnsley and they went down) and 8th (last year, after he took them back up).

Any other candidates we might be keeping an eye on? "We" as in fans, not just Dean Holdsworth.

No, I think dibs said he'd beat his root... or something similar.

Warnock. But he'd cost money we haven't got now. If only we had the foresight...

Aye, happen. Not sure he wants a third-tier rebuild job. More the quick saviour. Obviously still loves it though.

[Worthy4England]

If we got Redknapp, we could use his dog as Tax Consultant, to help fund loan repayments.

I was going to suggest Nigel Clough, used to rebuilding, then I spotted that Burton will probably be in a different division to us next season...

Apologies. I'm still getting my head round it'll be a third tier rebuild. I'm mentally stuck on a second tier rebuild.

I'm with you, brother. It's a throwback. Repeat after me: we've been through worse. We've been through worse. We've been through worse...

Aye missed the boat there. If Rotherham don't throw the bank at him to keep him there next season they'd be crackers.

Hopefully, our next chap was sat on the couch this afternoon desperately waiting for a chance to get back into the game. What's Danny Wilson doing these days?

What's Danny Wilson doing these days?

Trying to keep Chesterfield in League One. It's an interesting shout, but he's had a mixed few years. High points have included taking Hartlepool up (from the Fourth) and getting Sheffield United to the Third Division play-off final, but in the last 12 years he's been at Mk Dons (relegated to the Fourth), Hartlepool, Swindon, Blades and Barnsley and he's not stopped anywhere longer than two and half years.

One of the shitter news-churning websites has us "considering" Northampton's Chris Wilder. Done really well considering the financial weirdness there - they're 11 points clear atop League Two.

Chris Wilder would be my shout. He took charge of a relegation-threatened Northampton Town twelve months ago and now has them flying at the top of the league; he got Oxford United promoted from the Conference and then comfortable in mid-table; he was a success whilst working under financial constraints at Halifax Town and in a strange parallel with ourselves, his team were also two-nil down today but came back to win it at the death. My worry is that he would have too much sense to come to this shambles.

Yep - I'd just mentioned him, must've been while you were typing Sheffielder, did a six-year Conference stint managing Halifax, so he's used to the tough stuff. Well worth a look, see if he wants to chat; this season's obviously over for us so we can hold fire till summer, see who's interested.
