Spot on, he'd one of the few big name managers you'd say that applies to. Even if we went totally unrealistic and thought about the likes of Wenger, I seriously doubt he'd be interested in a league one and championship struggle, same with the likes of Mourinho (again, well aware that both are no doubt pie in the sky, I don't want to come over like a mag!). But if you go a level below them there aren't many likely candidates other than Allardyce who we could attract, would take the job and who you'd really back to be a success

Aye maybe, he'd be a decent shout. Mind from what Reiver said about how he'd lose all credibility if he said the name it sounds like, assuming it's a manager, it must be someone we'd almost laugh at him for suggesting, and I don't think Hughton (or Allardyce to be fair) really fall into that bracket. It's going to be a long few days!

Ah right no f***ing idea about that. Looks like the takeover is complete and they are making some adjustments

Are you sure it's complete then?

Did he not mean credibility with his sources though?

The Fat Man might work, with a good, young coach to be groomed (dangerous word to use these days, but I'm a desperado) into the successor role for continuity after he's gone. Phillips would be a popular choice for obvious reasons, but I think someone a bit less obvious might prevail.

"Now, son, do what I say, not what I do."

KP wouldn't be popular with him. Not even rookie experience.

Allardyce isn’t really a long-term appointment though. He’ll be pushing 70 soon and to be honest seems quite content with his media career.

I know everyone is just speculating, but I do think the manager stuff is a step too far. That sort of info would leak fast. Allardyce, for example, has loads of close media contacts. It would get out. He’s not the only one either. Can’t really see that happening at this point.

I've been given a name that, if I posted, would instantly lose me any credibility I have.

I've bookmarked it elsewhere so I can post the proof if it actually happens.

I can't give any clues cos the clever bastards, on here, would work it out :lol:
