Let's hope so.

I've heard a rumour but I'm afraid I can't share it.
I've heard that the slag on X-factor gets through to the next round.

Speaking of x-Factor - Cher Lloyd is absolutely gorgeous :icon_razz
Jesus christ...............she looks like a malnourished teen with bad dress sense! Much prefer Subo!
She is, but still gorgeous :icon_cool
Apologies to the ladies of the forum but it would be little going to bed with a mop!
for what it's worth, Stringer says he has not gone.
Little or no chance he will go immediately.
They are also going to be concerned at the moment about the money all this is going to cost and so if Sousa can show any sign of improvement then they will want to stick with him.
My understanding when Powell arrived here was that he was wanting to get into management. Perhaps people with better memories can confirm this or be more specific.
As to whether he would be a good manager I will admit my reasons are vague.
The fact that he was a chairman of the PFA suggests he is held in great respect by people within football.
He has a remarkable knowledge of the English game both in the Prem and the Championship.
He knows what worked under Pearson with this team and what has gone wrong under Sousa. He will also know if Sousa has done things which need keeping.
There are two factors that are even more important than the above for me. He knows the team and my guess is that the team would want him. One of the many problems in Year Of Four Managers is that it took Ian Holloway too long to work out his best team.
The second factor is that Powell seems to me a man of good judgement. This to me is the most important thing in leadership at any level - what proportion of your decisions do you get right.
In my opinion they will stick with Sousa until the situation becomes totally untenable and then they will come up with another probably unsuitable candidate. A defeat at Norwich would up the pressure but I guess they will be relying on a home win against Scunthorpe.
