If Coyle gets the sack

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

I'd be tempted to give a Keane a go, from the meagre options out there.

You mad, mad man

Maybe. I just think that if it all goes right for Keane, his status in the game and single-mindedness could mean that it could go very right. I just don't see the same potential upside (even if unlikely) with any of the other possible names. Perhaps it's a gamble, but what's the worst that could happen?

[CAPSLOCK]

Relegation

I see no reason to suspect it could go right

His reputation and status didn't help him at Sunderland and Ipswich

If we get rid of one clueless arse, I really don't want to replace him with another

Words escape me. I really can't fathom where they come up with this stuff.

Maybe we can do a swap deal - we give West Ham a young up and coming manager, whose philosophy is attractive flowing football, and we get Allardyce back.

you only have to watch keane on itv to realise why he isn't suited to management. he expects perfection from every single player in every single moment of every single game. if he came here he'd probably kill the entire squad with his bare hands after the first training session.

That'd certainly lower the wage bill.
I don't think he's as mental as some are making out. Edgy, yes; dangerous, maybe; a gamble, certainly: but not a nutter.

I just want someone with some intensity, not another gormless wonder.

Who's your preferred candidate?

[CAPSLOCK]

Truth?

Dunno

I'm from outside football so I don'ty knoiw these things

I do know playing lobsided formation like this clown insists on, means owt can only be an improvement

I'd not be looking for the pitchforks with anybody

Hill or Jackett

Or McCarthy

NOT Keane

NOT Brown

Neil McDonald fits the ex clubman bit - experience under Allardyce

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Best get thinking caps on!

[Leyther_Matt]

One from left field, but Henrik Larsson? Respected ex-player, seems to be doing well in Sweden and someone who comes to the club with no prior association or preconceptions so hopefully the clean sweep we're in need of.

Well, as I predicted its all bollocks, made up by hopeful fans.

He's not being sacked. Not until he's lost some more games anyhow.

Is there anything supporting this particular contention?

Or just "It's 09:30 on a Monday and we've as yet not heard anything"

err... what exactly is it in that article that says he is not going to be sacked?

Indications from the club are he is safe for now.......

yes - of course he is... good prediction, by the way!!

[n035209]

John mcGinlay has been a bit more involved in and around the reebok over recent months, is this a sign?

surely this wont happen?

what about a Nicky Sponner and Scott Green management team.

feck knows who Gartside will pick, is it not time for him to go now, as he has picked 4 shite managers thus far so why will he get it right this time?

New thread "Gartside Out?"

[BWFC_Insane]

yes - of course he is... good prediction, by the way!!

Nixon's article, a "U-turn" apparently. I suspect there is more to this than meets the eye. I wonder if Coyle did not like the names suggested to "help him out"?

Another thing I've reverse jinxed, I must have a talent....

No parties, no flag waving, no bunting

But, no sympathy either

Stubborn

Misguided

Had to do - 12 months ago

you've a gift for it!!

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Erm, does this mean no more Nixon during transfer windows??

indeed... (though he has just sent LSL a "let's be bezzie mates" card...)

[Salford Trotter]

Just been told today is D Day can't verify the source as yet so don't shoot the messenger

You mean as in, the day he goes, or the day we are told he is here forever???

totally agree, Keane has potential, so he's mad - so what. thin lines between madness and genius

Keane for me

He'd need to spend £80m to get promoted?
