If Mandaric is not careful or lucky soon - our club will become the laughing stock of English football.
So far - the media has not shown a lot of interest in our difficulties in replacing Megson - soon some journalist is going to put the boot in, I'm afraid.

It's poor when the chairman has to make up a story about not even being interested in someone when he has made the guy an offer. We're in the shit. FACT

Exactly, something doesn't add up. I guarantee you me old son, Holloway has been offered a deal by MM. FACT

I dont know your source on this one but its clearly wrong

They would say that if they don't want their fans to know they gave him permission to talk to us.

Exactly.
But wow everyone will believe that Holloway prefers Plymouth to us - in spite of a presumed bigger pay deal.
I suggest MM tries what was often done years ago - i.e. sticks an advert in the national press. Yes, that really used to happen.

With the situation as it is at the moment, I don't think we can expect anything to happen in the near future. Not for the first time in this saga, things have broken down at what seemed to some to be a late stage - although I do think in this case, Holloway never really had any intention of leaving Plymouth.
I understand that we are back to looking at a short list, rather than actually being in negotiations with any single individual. In fact, it seems that we are back to compiling a short list rather than working from it.
And if you're talking about Holloway as a mediocre manager and Plymouth as a shite club, I would suggest that the former is less mediocre than anything that we have had for a while and that City are somewhat shiter than Plymouth at the moment.

three easy steps to appointing the new manager:
1. visit www.leaguemanagers.com (about half way down there's a list of available managers)
2. stop anywhere down the list (preferably at random)
3. order bacon cobs for press conference

Spot on, I'm afraid.
The price of years of failure and poor appointments and/or fans' unrealistic expectations (me included) resulting in frequent dismissals - seems to have caught up with us.
Fueled by MM's unrealistic promises this season.

if he had aimed for midtable or top half and got a half decent manager to construct a decent hard working squad then maybe we could attract better going forward. we will be hard pushed to attract any half decent players in the future i think

Plus don't you reckon a few calls have been made by prospects to Mssrs Allen & Megson asking what MM is like to work for...
.... and then a swift withdrawal of interest as they are too busy washing their hair

That was the excuse from Wilkins & Vialli.
