At Least We're Not Newcastle

[stranded in toon]

I know we should be focusing on ourselves, but its always nice to see 'big' teams struggling. If we were to appoint an ex-player like Newcastle who would be our Messiah (that isn't a naughty boy; for the python fans )

I wouldn't mind trading places with them...

I won't argue with that statement

 

[WhingForPresident]

if you wouldn't argue with the statement, why start a contradicting thread..

I'd much rather be possibly going down with a 55,000 seater stadium in the Premiership, than be 8 points adrift of safety in League 1 in a shitty athletics stadium.

The point of my original post was to start a debate about any ex-players coming to save us. Like newcastle appointing shearer (ignoring the chelsea result of course, hehe)

 

[WhingForPresident]

Fair enough.
Charlie Oatway for me.

Thats more like it, i'll put Dean Saunders forward who is doing an ok job at wrexham.

 

[alex_brighton]

at least were not southampton

Dean Saunders is a good shout.

Peter Ward would be the ultimate return of a legend, doubt it would be a great idea though.

I sort of hope that Shearer keeps the skunks up, stays on for next season, spends some cash on players and then makes a pigs ear of it. Sort of in a Bryan Robson style.

Charlie Oatway or Butters

We could do a lot worse than appoint one of those now but a number of older ex players have been reasonably succesful as managers. Like Dave Sexton, Jimmy Sirrell, Howard Wilkinson, Brian Horton plus many more which I amsure people will add to this list. Of the modern era of players who I would love to see be manager and 'save' us it has to be OGH or Kerry Mayo.

Danny Wilson and Alan Curbishley have done OK too.

If they go down , i reckon their fans will love the championship , especially if they win it first attempt

They will show their passion as the best supporters in the UK by filling the stadium and selling out every match, regardless of the league they are!

Just next to Illford road metro, you pleased the main man is back up here?

 

[Gonzo]

Stuart Tuck. To call the man a legend would be a SEVERE understatement. If he could transfer just a bit of his IMMENSE footballing talent into management, he would no doubt be a PEHNOMENAL success

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

If we were Championship standard we could maybe interest Alan Curbishly - he did good at Charlton (look at them now)

PS - Don't like Newcastle and would love to see them relegated.
