Heard today it's been whittled down to the last three; Pearce, Ling and Sanchez (cunt).

If that's true, I pray that Pearce gets it.

I concur

Ling all but ruled himself out last time.

These rumour threads are getting more and more ridiculous each day. People just seem to be dreaming up names now, they circulate on the rumour mill for a few days, then get reported in the paper as "strong rumours around xyz" on the basis of that, at which point everyone goes "oooh, it must be true then it was in the paper" and so it goes on in one big bollocky vacuous circle of pointlessness.

And it seems the longer it goes on, the more inflated the rumours become. I think we should get Neil Armstrong in. He could promise us the moon on a stick, he's got experience in that area.

EDIT: most of this isn't a response to Samdy btw, just heartily sick of the whole manager rumour thing now. I'm glad Fitton's taking his time to get the right man, because it is important he gets it right, but I kind of wish we could all stick our heads down a hole for two, three or however many weeks until it is sorted. And I'm worried that the longer it goes on and the more inflated people's expectations become, the less chance any new manager will actually have. Whoever it is is going to have to have at least 48 caps, been in two European Finals, win us the League Cup in his first season, the FA Cup and Championship title in his second, and cure AIDS and world hunger in his third.

It can only be Pearce if that list is true, Shirley?!?

As it stands there is only one U-21 game this season on the same day as we play Tranmere away in late March. Wigley and others will do the scouting, as they probably do already.

Regardless of who it is, I hope this meeting(s) tomorrow/Monday goes well.

If that list really is true is best be Pearce! otherwise not many people are going to be happy are they

Premiership season lacked internet conversation and also I wasn't at an age of knowing behind-the-scenes rumours.

Lawrie Sanchez played 8 games as a desperate late edition - he was poor... Is there any other reason he was hated for this stint at Swindon?

[sonic youth]

lawrie sanchez was on 5live as well today, on fighting talk.


he's full of stats
