Who do you want to replace Pearson?

[jb5000]

What is with all the love for Powell as a manager? Has he done something I am not aware of?

Well suggesting he should be interviewed is hardly saying he should get the job. But, I think he >may< be a good appointment based on the following:

- He knows the club and the players
- He knows the division
- He has good contacts in the premiership
- He appears to be an able coach and seems to get credit for a lot of the younger players coming on
- He appears to be intelligent (for a footballer at least ;-)
- He would be cheap
- He could start the job tomorrow.

Given these, and the fact that:

- We have no money
- We need to build a team out of youth and loan signings
- Pre-season is due to start soon
- The slightly daft expectations of our fans (particularly given the club's debts).

He strikes me as being just the kind of thing we're looking for. While he might not be the person for the job, I think that someone like hime probably will be, so the very least he should be interviewed - assuming he's interested of course!

I don't think many of us would be surprised if he made the grade as a manager at some point and at some club. So why not our club? LCFC have a history of making educated gambles on young managers - it is the only way a club of our resources and size can do well in the long-term.

A colleague of mine through work who knows people on the corporate side at city says as of two hours ago, someone at the club had told him that Southgate was the name on peoples lips down there.

The guy is reliable, if he says that then that is what he has been told from someone down there. Could come to nothing but thought I'd share what I was told.

As I said a few days ago this is what I've been told by people who claim to have inside knowledge.

But I still reckon it's shite and we'll end up with Dowie.

Oh good.

 

[Hazzman]

He made some expensive signings that really didnt come off too. Don't recall his time at M'boro being at all exciting, think we would be mid-table champ side at best under him.

Tbf, didn't they achieve two FA Cup quarter finals. A 8-1 win over Man City too.

Ffs-no.no.no.and No. The guy is a complete cock and has failed everywhere since he left Palace.

And he was crap at Palace!

If we got Micky Adams, he'd love Robbie Neilson.

So do all the Leicester fans.

Oh for Fecks sake! Then he would be followed down here by a string of Scottish journeymen as the next untapped talent that will storm the championship! Football's equivalent of Scotland's got Talent!

Is there any team in the championship that has recruited an outstanding Scot? Genuine question. Does not include overseas players playing for a Scottish team!

Adam and Dorrans. So the answer's not yes.

Where is Robert Koren for god's sake?

He's having a pint with Oliver Dacourt in the 1884, debating the merits of Hull vs. Leicester vs. Preston

Paulo de Sousa has been punted right down to 5-4,with SkyBet that has been backed right down in the last 30mins

 

[Micky]

If either Tony Mowbray, Ian Dowie or Gareth Southgate are appointed as manager of this football club, then I will be devastated. I can't think of more uninspiring, spineless and limited managers. F*%king hell please no. I think I would go as far as say that I would lose interest in following the team.

 

[MHS]

What have everyone got against Southgate? I'd be happy if he came.

Just ask my middlesbrough supporting, season ticket holding, mate. Uninspiring, money wasting and spineless. The biggest thing that strikes me about Southgate is that I think he would not command the respect of the players.

 

[Jeff]

money wasting

I don't think that would be relevant if he came here.

Dunno, Jeff, he might insist the press got thier sarnies back.

 

[Harbro-Fox]

Southgate. Treated harshly at Boro and deserves a second chance somewhere, I believe he has a lot to offer.
