Quite a PR stunt lined up for the Grimsby game with a new manager and Charlie's homecoming which should boost the numbers through the turnstiles😀

It wouldn't surprise me if Marty Taylor was considered.
I reckon this thread will see things happen when we hit 88mph. |

I certainly don’t. Why is it the wrong way? |

I genuinely can't tell what names are people taking the piss and what aren't anymore. I think I'd rather have Sheena Easton than some of the suggestions that seem to be serious.

You need to take it from the future to the past, if it's to be any use. Or maybe Bernie just liked old stats books. I loved my Rothman's 81/82 football annual that I bought for about 20p in the late 80's, so you never know! |

The fact I want to be entertained, academy managers bring academy football. The football last year was boring but got results, this year it’s even more boring and not getting as many results. I don’t want us to play boring slow football. I want us to play with intensity, determination and excitement. Do I think a former player would be more likely to bring that, as well as exciting a completely dull and flat home crowd, yes. Williams, garner and Lindsey have all been so dull to watch - time to try something different.
I'm never totally convinced of going down the ex-player route. Yes I get the initial shot in the arm re the fanbase and that they are likely to get more support from the fans, but I think back to when we've done it before - Jimmy Quinn and Iffy Onuara - and they are hardly golden times. Yes they were a while ago and football has changed since then but I'm sceptical going down this route ends well. A name I don't think that has been mentioned on here I saw on the FB page was Mark Warburton. I know his stock has fallen since he stuttered in the Rangers job and he's first team coach at West Ham so is probably happy where he is but there are some interesting snippets about his life that might work alongside Sandro. * Used to be a trader in both London and the US. So not afraid of a gamble * He helped form the NextGen series in 2010 which is an under 19 cup competition. Clearly has an eye on talented young players. * I would imagine he has good contacts in the game. Similarly to the Duncan Ferguson shout, I imagine the gap between being a first team coach at a Premier League club and a manager in league 2 is cavernous. |

He would definitely be the strong personality type and wasn't he manager at QPR when Austin was there!

Didn’t Garner bridge that gap? I’ve tried to blank his tenure so not sure. |

People disagree with your opinion, so they’re thick. What a stunning introduction to the forum, cunt.
I don't think "not very bright", which was the phrase Steak supper posted and I agreed with, is quite the same as "thick". Perhaps a better term would be "not very well informed". I'm amazed you can get away with your language on any football message-board by the way. But I wish you well and hope your owners make the right choice. |

Its a term of endearment that every new poster has said to them - don't be offended |
