I thought you were going to say Dusty Bin from 3-2-1. That would be a real coup. Would I be correct in saying that he would be the first dustbin to have managed a league side? Any football trivia people out there no of any others?

Damn. True Icy,
I was thinking of Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen. Who used to be on every tv programme going. Why, oh Why, oh Why ?

First time posters can be very intriguing individuals. The other day there was a newbie called triptolemus who started a thread about ten year old planning applications relating to the Goldstone Ground.
The original Triptolemus was a Greek god of agriculture.
I was puzzled as to who the NSC poster was and why he'd chosen to raise this topic in the week before the Falmer Public Inquiry resumed, particularly since Falmer Parish Council had mentioned the Goldstone applications in the first few days of the Inquiry.
After a bit of probing, our triptolemus admitted to having an interest in agriculture, having been a hop farmer some years ago.
Curiously, it transpires that Tom Carr, Chairman of Falmer Parish Council, used to be a hop farmer as well.
Funny old world, eh?
Now... who the hell is kenny b?
Why then do some on this board dissmiss what a newbie says on the strength of him being a newbie.
His actual point is very good, as I read it myself.

Vialli is interesting.
Can he still play ? How old is he now.

You don't mean there's Russian money to fund the new manager?
Amazing.
The reports say a 'European' manager, that would suggest he is of European origin.

Vialli - Italian
Tigana - French

What we have here is a good, old fashioned, rumour. The fact that it comes from a first-time poster gives it no less credibility than if it came from someone with 1000+ (and having read some of their posts I'd even believe it has more).
Sure, if someone wants to come on and wind us up then there's always that possibility. However, we should just treat every one of these stories the same way - they're all rumours and may or may not prove accurate. But it's always interesting to speculate, isn't it - and try to work out the plausibility of each story?
In my opinion there's a strong likelihood that a high-profile 'name' has applied for the manager's job. After all, we're top of the league and winning matches with relative ease. Therefore, we'll expect to be in Div 1 next season. After that, who knows (especially if we get the OK on Falmer). I just hope that DK chooses his man wisely - something he's (generally) done in the past.

Jim D. Excellent point. Agree totally.
Can we get off this `he's a newbie - don't know shit` theme.
Some of the newbies maybe older people, who don't have 6 hours a day to spend on NSC posting about Sex, Jokes, TV programmes etc, and might be in a position of having contacts, which judging from the age of some of the people on here posting about 18th birthdays etc, aren't as likely to have.

Whoever it is, DK will ensure it is the right choice for the Albion. I don't think a 'high profile' manager is anything to get too excited about in our situation:
1. They cost too much.
2. Have a tendency to be primadonnas (esp the Euro ones)
3. We wouldn't be able to afford the kind of players they could attract.
4. There's a greater possibility of the f***ing off in record quick time.
5. I'd rather have a young hungry manager with a good track record a la Dowie or Cotterrill.

Knight is already on record saying that someone who managed at Champions League level has already applied for the job and let's not forget that the former (?) Cameroon manager ( the German guy with big hair) was interested when Taylor left. So there's evidence of Knight's interest in non-British managers.
Tigana would be sensational but I don't believe it word as how would we pay his salary?
