Jamie Redknapp seems to be holding high opinions around football atm, its only a matter of time before he follows daddy into management, but its a risk Bolton seriously cannot take right now. There's not really a solid option for them apart from Jewell for me, and it must be the case now where he's said no and they look elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, Jewell is the obvious name in the frame.....but if it was all arranged, why hasn't he taken the job already? Why are they going for the likes of Bruce and Megson? Has Jewell already knocked them back? Either way, they're coming across as being a bit desperate and being a local lad and currently unemployed - Reid could fill in for a bit. Good shout about Redknapp Jnr though. I hadn't even considered him but now you mention it... blueyes.gif Aye the ship has sailed for Jewell, must of, he's not going to get many EPL offers since he nearly got Wigan relegated last season, so this could be the best he gets for a while. Very desperate, didn't realise Reid was a local lad, would be great to get him back into football, but didn't he reject a couple of offers since bowing out a few years ago? Maybe like Keegan, he's done his time. If they hang on a month Steve McClaren will be up for grabs (and TBF, he'd be about the right level for them) When I say 'local lad', I mean he started his career with them and they were his first club from being a bairn.

Peter Reid would be a good outside bet imo.

This one? http://books.littleoak.com.au/football_annuals/shoot/shoot_1979.JPG

Dandy, Beano & Shoot for me, Look-in and Smash Hits for my sister. Without fail.

Tempted like....

surely he has got to go now like Dear Steve, kthx bai! Your boss.

Cyprus one up against the Republic... Staunton looks fucking clueless. Reminiscent of Roeder tbh.

The manager's got to carry the can ultimately but he's been badly let down by certain individuals.... Having said all that, if you can only take 1 point from Macedonia (H), Croatia (A) and Russia (A) you don't deserve to qualify imo.

goalfest on monday He'll turn into Lev Yashin's lovechild on Monday man. Sod's law.

Just waiting for McMilkman to come out and blame the pitch for losing. The pitch had fuck all to do with any of the goals. Robinson was badly at fault for their second. It either gets caught and gathered or pushed round the post - NOT palmed out to the onrushing striker to prod in. Rank keeping.

His appointment had 'disaster' written all over it imo. The silver lining for Bolton is that it's been done early enough for the new bloke to come in and have a decent shot at keeping them up. The situation is a bit like Charlton last season with Curbishley/Dowie/Reed/Pardew all coming and going within about 9 months.

RTG is the best/funniest footy site on the net. There, I've said it.

They obviously went to Derwent Hill! I've done that gorge-walk 4 times. Piece of piss tbh.

A source close to the club? Official? Nah.

Oba Martins tbh. Fantastic athlete but a very ordinary footballer.

The first one I actually recall was when we put 4 past Luton in '88. O'Neill hat-trick and Kenny Wharton sat on the ball.

Plenty mentioned already but I'd throw Steve Finnan's name in there too.

Not saying he is good enough but players a lot worse have. Gavin McCann('t) for example... *shudders*

which one Actually, I'm thinking of the one I saw in The Back Page - The Damned United re: his short time at Leeds. I do remember reading a Clough biog on my hols after my Dad had read it. That was years ago but very probably not the same one. I'm not massively into sports biogs / books in general as loads of them are shit. I've read the odd gem though. Anyway, enlighten me, oh wise one Flattery will get you everywhere. Most of the time Nah, not fair on midds, there aren't many copies around and he's looking for it, and I'm looking on ebay for it for him, so I'll let him tell you if he wants to Sorry Alex. Will "the life and times of Graeme Souness" do instead No worries mate, fair do's. Midds would probably lend it to me when he's finished anyway as I would to him. Course I will. Getting hold of it is going to be the hard part though. Needle in a haystack time methinks. > well, they have copies on amazon but they are expensive, over 20 quid Forgot about amazon. nnnggghhh!!!

I have no recollection of him as a player and I'm about 10 years older than you. I was referering to no recollection of any mention of him in the record books as being anything more than just a good player. What about the one which states that he's the only bloke to represent his country at every possible level in the game?
