Taking the seed of the 'Does anyone want Wise' thread...

If the Albion, managed by Denis Wise [he of the taxi-driver battering and sleeping team-mate assaulting shenannigans], were top of league one, riding high on an avalanche of goals scored by the drink-drive killer Lee Hughes and his strike [only girls though] partner Marlon King, mostly set up by the convicted racist thug Lee Bowyer, would YOU be HAPPY?

Does all this other stuff really not matter to you at all, so long as we beat Hartlepool and Wycombe?

While Graham Rix proffers a smiling "thumbs up" to Gully's Girls from the touchline?

Not quite, but it is a f*** site better than losing with a nice guy in charge!

If we can find a nice guy who is also a winner, that would be great! Can you think of any other than Sir Bobby Robson (and he is now dead by the way). Fergie, Wenger, Alan Shearer (with the elbows)? Nope? Nor me!

Bruce?
Coppell?
Guardiola?
Boothroyd?
Martinez?
Di Matteo?
Howe?
Curbishley?

How many do you want?

A sensible post.

Personally I wouldn't be as happy. You want to admire the people at the club you support, it would be impossible for me to do so if these individuals were involved.

It all honesty I couldn't give a f*** what someone had done (within reason) prior to joining the club.

This club is too nice, in recent years the only success we've had is when we've had rough and ready players playing for us.

If we win games under his leadership I don't think it really matters about his history.

Never much liked Oatway tbh, either. Mostly because he had very little talent.

I'll add Joey Barton to my theoretical table toppers too, I think.

In that case Phil, I can't help thinking you worry too much about 11 blokes (who wouldn't recognise you) kicking a football about.

We all want a winning team, and Wise is *not* head and shoulders above several other candidates.
