Great list of names there :|

Eugh, Andy fucking Thorn? I dont think the dugout is big enough for the fat fucker

Having lived in Luton for a few years, I did enjoy the Real Madrid and Luton statement.

The implication that Luton is as low as you can get amused me somewhat


Wonder if it was a dig at the new consortium's Luton connections ?

Gus McPherson....Peter Taylor......Andy Thorn.....I'm laughing, but for all the wrong reasons.

Clearly after PDC we have been spoilt, but those 3 names don't exactly exude confidence.

Its a shame, because looking at the next 2 home games, Preston and Bury, we could really push on from here.

Black and PDC really have picked their moments sadly :(

Nothing exciting about those names at all. Though how does anyone follow PDC?

Thats why i think it should either be another first time manager who had a good playing career as we've had so much success with in the past (Hoddle, Ardiles even McMahon) or someone who has a connection to the club as i think this keeps the fans on side more than any of these people.

Quick google search and Gus McPherson did a pretty good job in scottish league it seems

So did Malpas

No, he didn't.

the type of manager who "throws their name into the ring" are the type who nobody will touch with a fucking barge pole.

saying that, Thorn basically managed Coventry with his hands tied behind his back and blindfolded.

Is Bobby Gould dead? Is that the only reason his name isn't on the list. It usually is.....

I'd have Thorn here, but only as a scout. Great eye for a player.

Load of bollocks, who they sending their cv's too? Claude Rains?

Can't wait for the King/Newell/Walsh/Igoe dream team :)

How about Thorpe and Cureton, the dream team reunited

Steve Evans?

Make everyone hate us even more......

:busted: :banthem:

I doubt he would come here or we could afford the compensation but I would have Karl Robinson.

Statement now up on the OS


To me, hearing that is a relief. I think we have the leaders we need to see us through the next week, as long as somebody somewhere is doing the tactical prep.

that statement reads a little like this to me:

"No immediate decision will be taken because we've already packed our bags and in the interim the Board will be discussing delegating the matter with to senior members of the playing squad to maintain consistency and be fully prepared for the next two home League One fixtures because the takeover must be finalised by then, right? And you won't see us for dust.

Thanks to all STFC fans for your support during these two amazing seasons. All the best for the future!

They've all done a great job and good luck to them in the future.

I agree with that and would actually go further and say the rest of the season. What I want to know is what constitutes the 'interim board'?

My guess is - Curly Withers, Chris Tanner, McPlea and the woman from the club shop.

read the statement again, there's no reference an interim board.

"and in the interim the Board"

Haha! Fair enough.

Still, I prefer to think of us being run by an interim board of Curly Withers, Chris Tanner, McPhlea and the woman from the club shop. So that's what I'm going to do and you can't stop me 8)

OST, i wholeheartedly respect you and your life decisions :)

is it time to bring out the old chestnut of Italians and running away

Is that the young woman with the big breasts, if it is then she can come out & jump about on the pitch after the game.
