Is he back in a good place after his struggles ?
I believe so. Think he scouts for Walsall, runs his own football schools and does a bit of commentary etc. He's a viable option that's for sure. |

6/7 years ago I'd have loved to have Lingy here but now? I'm not so sure. He certainly played an attractive style of football with reasonable success at Leyton Orient but that was a few years ago now. I think the fans would take to him though, which could be important. If he does come in, hopefully he can convince Power to hire a defensive coach!!

I'd be happy with that if it happened.

I wouldn't. Take the Swindon link out of it and you wouldn't touch him with a barge pole (and that's obviously completely unrelated to his mental struggles over the last few years). |

Be interesting to see what "faces" will be spotted in the ground tonight.

Short term see how it goes, see if he's up to it. Admit it could go either way depending on his mental state and how it holds up. Just have a hunch it could be the right appointment.

But the manager's remit at STFC should, in theory, be less stressful than most.
No responsibility for recruitment so no travelling to watch games 5 nights a week.
Might suit him down to the ground

I'm with Tails in the not so sure camp.... Lingy would be fully commited to the sexy football, as a disciple of Hoddle, and I guess given his recent well known difficulties, would be happy to slot into a role where the responsibilties were shared. Few years back now, but when we were away at Torquay, it was great when a chant of Ooh Shaun Taylor went up as the great man stepped out heading for the bench.... |

Lingy doesn't have a great managerial record. Not exactly a bad one either, but certainly not great. Stats can be skewed according to the resources he had at his disposal though of course.

A candidate for our job shouldn't be judged on win ratio though, as player development is more important to Power. If Cooper was applying for his old job, he could point to an impressive CV in that regard. Maybe you could do some research on Lingy with regards to this.... The fact that he spunked £70K on Billiy Bodin would worry me.. |

Bodin played quite a lot for Torquay and was by all accounts not bad until he got a really bad knee injury. Certainly more successful than Elliot de Paul Benyon's move the other way.

I'm getting the feeling that what Power is saying about Poyet being unlikely as too expensive is exactly what he said about Ajose.

Just had an interesting chat with someone supposedly ITK.
New manager will be a low profile front man taken on only until the end of the season - Williams/Power will be in charge
Expect Kasim and Rodgers to play tonight as neither were injured Saturday - didn't want to play for Cooper. There had been general unrest in the squad.
Now, I'm only relaying what I've been told - don't shoot the messenger. Make of it what you will.

Well the Kasim/Rodgers bit is in the Adver, so hardly hot off the press. Similarly, you don't need inside info to suspect it will be a low profile appointment, because they'll have to work with Williams/Power. |
