ager!

(Like what I did there?)

No one told me that he was manager at Lillestrom in Norway.  Only reading the old Rivals site that I found out.

KING OUT Fjortoft IN

Reminds me anyone remember a rumour a few seasons back, possibly under Colin Todd, that we where attempting to re-sign Jan?

yes i remember. i think it was when kingy was here. the adver said jan was up for it as well, but this i doubt

Fjortoft would be a bit soft of a manager.
Now, Mr buzz cut of beavis and butthead would be good.

I seem to recall when this was first announced to the world a while back JA was to be a sort of Director of Football and Uwe Rosler was the coach......I may have been at my kids crack pipe again though.

I severely doubt that.  He has a right reputation everywhere he has played bar for the Town as an awkward outspoken git.

Think he took over the reins back in December Reg.  Had a quick snoop through their results last season and Uwe didn't appear to be doing to well in charge at all.

Isn't 'severly doubt' the right turn of phrase?

What choo talkin bout David?

"Sincerley doubt" sounds better.





I'll get me coat

  Well he's got a good opportunity to make a name in the managerial world, as Lillestrom haven't won the league since 89, whilst Rosenborg have won it 14 out of 15 since, including the last 13 years in a row......Viking Stavanger succeeding in 91.

I was talking to my mate about this the other day, the prospect of luring Jan back as manager, now that would be amazing.  Surely the fans would love to see an ex-legend like Jan in charge!!

Whenever I meet a norwegian I always mention Jan, and apparentley before taking the Lillestrom job he was a bit of a Norwegian Gary Lineker on TV.  Well liked and respected, maybe if he did ever manage us he could bring some up and coming norwegians with him.

The last thing I'd want is Fjortoft as manager, he's my all time favourite Swindon player so I don't want that spoilt by him coming here and failing as manager. Very few managers stay popular for long. Jan must stay a legend.

enough said

He's not doing to bad at all out there from what I can tell (Norweigan is a tad rusty).

Seems to have improved results from last time I looked.

Lillestrom are hardly a bad side either. One of the top teams over there so may be worth a stab when King does go (whenever that may be!)

I always do that too.  Can't help myself :soapy tit wank:

I seem to remember that when his return was proposed he said he would have liked to, but it was his last season playing and he wanted to end his career in Norway.

The Germans like him to, i met one while travellin and he came of the bench in the final game of the season with jans team needing to win by 4 goals i believe, he got the one that kept them up!(not sure on the exact facts but something along those lines!)

Everyone loves Jan, Whits.  It's the only thing that the Arabs and Israelli's agree on,that Jan Aage is a legend.

the UN should appoint him to succeed Kofi Annan, he'd sort out world peace, sort out the third world debt and still be able to lead Lillestrom to the glory.

Yeah, I've heard annecdotes about him being a total cunt off the pitch too.

Almost spoilt my memories of my favorite ever player. not quite though. :)

I read on an Eintracht Frankfurt site that during all team talks just after the manager had finished delivering his speech, Jan would add
"as the nun said to the bishop".  All the other players found this hilarious but the manager wasn't that impressed.  He was given a massive ovation when he left here though.  Legend.
