Erm yes, I believe he was granted permission to join Palace from Oldham, the only club he has left in acrimonious cirumstances is when he left Palace for Charlton.
This is a long thread to track all the messages so don't know if this point has been made, but Dowie has a motivation I'm not alltogether happy with for him to be interested in taking the job; he has a massive law suit hanging over him - could be as much as £1m (certainly with costs it would be). A new job with a fat new contract and signing on fee would take care of most of that.
I'm sure he is disillusioned with Coventry for the reasons stated (lack of investment etc), but I cannot help feeling if the other factor is uppermost it won't be good for us. Of all the available candidates (I'm assuming the best one, Jewell, is not available) I'm starting to come round to Taggart. He's managed for a year at Stoke, has the badges & when I saw him interviewed on local TV last night he just seemed to have some charisma about him. Having played under O'Neill he will have benefitted from him just as O'Neil benefited from Clough.

Because we are all love-children of Chris Eubank.
Just like GM, he was given permission to speak to Bolton.

Agreed.
If Milan can convince Dowie to move to Leicester, he will have done brilliantly. It's not that Dowie is that wonderful; it's that we are in a complete mess.
I don't think Dowie would see it as a good move, but hope to be proved wrong.

Coventry might have looked more attractive then.
