I hope this comes back to haunt you. Me too. Feel free to tell me I told you so. But step back and think about it. Do you think Jose is really interested in this job any more than he is interested in managing Bolton? Or do you think a mean spirited journalist lied in a local paper in order to start a rumour that successfully undermined the man who cut him out of the loop? he possibly would go to bolton if they paid him enough and provided him with a big enough transfer kitty.

Am I the only person who can't see how Oliver was right about anything (as yet)? Do people think that Allaradyce has been sacked because some bloke's agent declared their interest in the job? it would compliment what has happened but as yet we've no proof.

why hate? i'd love it if oliver was right, would mean lippi or mourinho! What I meant is that I hate the fact Alan Oliver might have been right about anything as he usually just takes a wild stab in the dark. In this particular case though I would be ecstatic if he is, which looks likely. whoah boy. i hope you're right but don't go following that to much yet

does anyone get the feeling (due to the timing, allowing him to bid for wes brown etc) that they actually have someone set and are tying things up ?

ferguson

allardyces signings will be in the same position as the rest. new manager comes in and decides who he'd like to keep and who he'll try and get rid of.

IF,and i know it's a big if,oliver is right about this i'll start the "apologies to anal" thread.

Just like sam pre newcastle then "plays nice stuff"

was he ? as i understand it robson wanted him but mourinho thought he had spent enough time as an assitant and wanted a managerial job in his own right.

dunno bout that...it all dependfs on the package (pay and transfer kitty) put before them.

Steve McClaren with 100m... steve McClaren with 1000million wouldn't excite me

aye.......exciting isn't it

ferguson (i know it's not gonna happen but i mean not all british managers are shit)

the right one ,regardless of nationality.........however most of the best ones are foreign.

is he going to win much in the air ?

would his move be legal ? he joined arsenal in august and is only allowed one move per season.

this forum is negative because the populace in general is negative and cynical.

kev makes a late desperate lunge for the "worst poster" votes. too late kidda

you can find that out.....lazy git

Click on the image. cheers...i was right clicking and nowt helped. sorted now. usual oliver vagueness....someone who works for an agent who has an unnamed client ?

so who can tell me how to make it big enough to read ?

At our school, we had an annual chess competition called the Pugh Cup. True. at our school the chess pieces were placed in the orifices of those who played the game

You can say you're not interested inthe job without it being an absolute. Take Roeder for example. Shearer probably knows his own mind a bit better than Roeder, and sticks to his word. Traits that would make him a better manager than Roeder was. In fairness I have to agree with you on that - I'm convinced Roeder's attainment of 7th place was in no small part due to Shearer's influence on the team as co-pilot. I think results attest to that much, so maybe, just maybe, Shearer has what it takes to motivate and maintain discipline in a squad of players in a way Roeder clearly didn't at this level. That said, I would still prefer he went and managed Southampton or somesuch other club first. shearer,barnes and pearce would regularly take the training sessions during dalglish's reign aswell

i thought it was a horse race

really think you need to type it up for us
