Who would be your replacement for Ronny?

Please tell me there is another Steve Evans and not ex-Boston (Lincs), Crawley and Rotherham?

 

I guess he's meaning the last time we signed a manager who had some relative success with a respectable team.

I'd probably say it was MON, the last time we signed a manager who had such success, Leicester may not of been world beaters like they are now , but they were certainly a decent side when he was in charge.

 

Malky Mackay is favourite for the Notts County job kind of shows his limits when he's linked to sides in league 2

 

If he's linked to that job at the same time as he is linked to ours what does that show though !?

 

:smiley-laughing002:

Is there a link to the story ?

 

my uncle has placed 500 quid on rodgers, after hearing from what he says was a strong source in ireland.

 

Rodgers really along with Moyes is the absolute pinnacle of calibre manager's we could attract..

I'd be delighted with Rodgers. We all would..

Getting quite excited by the prospect, although Moyes was my number 1 choice..

 

Dyche is a * *, he thinks Scottish Football is utter *

 

Stop it. You're making me start to hope.

It's been reported that Dermot Desmond is conducting the search for a new manager himself and Desmond does like there to be an Irish connection at Celtic. Rodgers would fit that criteria.

I just can't let myself start believing it could happen. The let down when we appointed Stevie Clarke or Paul Lambert would be too much. It would be * awesome if we could get Rodgers though. He's the guy I want.

Well he wouldn't be wrong would he. Where you getting that from anyway?

 

Your last point mate...

They're out of our boards league imo.

Will happily eat my words but I really think our expectations are too high, based on recent history.

 

I see the sunday post is running with Keane and a £15 million warchest. £15 million could buy you a EPL winning side these days.....

 

Roy Keane with 15 mill. Have you seen his signing record?

Anyone?

 

I'd be happy with a budget of that, but *, Keane had more than that at Sunderland and look how well that went :smiley-laughing002:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...e-in-the-transfer-market-Hits-and-misses.html

Interestingly enough he signed Stokes and Gordon.

 

He singed el hadj diouf......... NEXT

 

Mainly good players for a team like Sunderland as well, minus Chopra and Diouf.

 

That's horrific reading.

I already don't want Keane and that has just convinced me more.
