I can see why it can't be a Coppell or a Curbishley because anyone of that calibre is not going to go near us after the shambolic, triger-happy way the board conducted itself last season. I can also see why an up and coming manager like Ferguson, O'Driscoll or Martinez would rather stay at a smaller club where he has security and does not have to deal with a meglamaniac (I mention no names....). So I accept we are only going to be looking for a manager down at the job centre among the medium to long term unemployed. Fair enough, I suppose. But if you must go for one of these desperate men as part of your "project" to attain Champions League Football (don't laugh...), is even Paul Ince beyond our ambition? Would he really rather be unemployed than work for us? Or has our board simply not even looked at him because he is insufficiently a "yes" man?
I'm definately on the realist wing of the fanbase. I just laugh when people mention Ranieiri, Sven, etc. I don't even think we can attract a mid-table employed championship manager. But is it really being too greedy to think we might have something to offer a manager who did quite well in the third and fourth tiers of English football, and who is now practicing his golf swing in between signing on?
If the shortlist of four that Isleworth has printed is correct - and it seems quite authoratitive - then it is shockingly, stupifyingly bad - and I'm not normally given to over-statement. I have to say I really couldn't care less which of those four got it because they all leave me speechless as they are all pretty well hopeless. If that was the Blackpool shortlist you might even shrug: "is that the best they can do?"
Bring back Holloway, call Ince, even DiCaneo (at least it wd be quite entertaining). Nigel Martin? Jude? DexterforEngland? Anyone but that shower, plse...
