Very surprised to see the bloke in charge of a team 12th in League 1 who has never managed above league 1 having more than double the votes of anyone else.

Managing the pressures around MK Dons is a wholly different proposition to managing SAFC.

It's crackers. I've no idea why he'd be on anyone's radar.
I'd have loved Warnock to be our manager, despite the ageist shite on here, but I'll be happy with Mowbray.
 
Scott Parker been sacked by Bournemouth, he likes to play football, go get him, at last he's proven he can get a team out of this league, he's young and ambitious, it could be a great fit.

He's a moron, and possibly the only professional involved in football who doesn't 'get' that the opposition's fans chant nasty things during the match to discourage the opposition, but bear no real grudge against them.

Imagine going on like a fanny and holding on to a massive grudge because the home fans were taking the piss out of them! What a bairn he is. He should've consoled himself by going to the Bingo for some action.

Really? In Reid’s first promotion season he took a side that had only just stayed up and won the league with very few additions, we were not great at all, just very good at what we did (which was not conceding goals). In Keane’s promotion season he took over an absolute basket case of a club, and it took some time to get any momentum going (I think we were still 11th at the start of January). We went on an amazing run to the end of the season, but we did it by never giving in and scoring a lot of late goals. Both teams were a long way from being amazing. If those teams were amazing then the 1998-99 team must have stratospherically unbelievable!

Keanes transfer window was big mind. We got a few champions league players and Kavanagh who was one of the highest performing midfielders for progressive passing in the premier league the previous season as well as Connolly who was the go to ‘too good for championship not good enough for prem’ 20 goal a season striker at the time for clubs wanting promotion.

As a side note im still bitter about Keanes treatment of Hysen haha, proper annoyed me at the time.

Next, that’s it? Dismiss him because he told the board what would happen and he was proved right so you do t at least interview him or sound him out to see if he’s interested??
Madness not to explore all your options.
The likes of Mowbray have been around for years and done next to nowt, Parker has been managing 5 mins and took a team straight back up…….he’s got to be in the frame surely

No doubt he the August transfer window was a surprising improvement on previous years, but it’s always a little overplayed for me. We were still pretty average mid table come the start of January. The real step change came with the additions of Evans, Simpson and the mighty Carlos in January. 2 of them had never played a proper league game in England and one had been no higher than lower end Championship. Those three totally transformed the team from solid to great.
