New boss?

[Sly]

I think i'd rather have Dennis Wise as manager and Eric Hall as the PA Announcer than that fat coooooooooooont

So would I.

What's the call for Gary Mac being the manager??? What did he do down the road at Cov?

[Babylon]

Nothing... his win % was about the same as Leveins!!

[Ric Flair]

Nothing... his win % was about the same as Leveins!!

Yes, but McCallister did sign the 37 year old phenomenon Vincent Engonga. A player alot of Cov fans herald as the worst ever player to wear the dirty sky blue shirt. Infact if you ask Cov fans what they think of McCallister alot of them will be more unsavoury than we are of Adams. He signed some strange players at Coventry.

[Royston.]

I dont think it matters who the boss is as long as he can motivate the players. We have good enough players to finish top ten in this league never mind stave off relegation. We just need a leader.

[Ric Flair]

We've had another vote for McCallister!!!! For **** sake.

[Sly]

We've had another vote for McCallister!!!! For **** sake.

Calm down Ric, I think if McCallister won this vote by 500 votes, I don't think the board would appoint him.

Then again.......they did appoint Craig Levein.

[Sparky]

martin allen for me , seems a good man manager and motivator but i suppose the question is would he come here ?

[Gené and Tonic]

just out of interest, would anybody have voted for Brain Laws had he been in there?

[Louise]

Ok, because I was bored...and someone asked...and I had two hours sleep last night so I'm feeling a bit insane.

Make of those what you will.

I'm still a Levein supporter btw, but it's getting pretty lonely over here.

[MC Prussian]

But Leven had a good record before he came

Which means that, since anything is possible, even a manager with a negative record could turn things around.

Discuss.

[Gené and Tonic]

It could happen, Stuart Peacre didn't have the best of records before he took over at Man City.

John Gorman or Martin Allen would seem the best bet for the job based on Lisa's statistics, as Gorman and Allen both know the Champonship (Allen was assitant manager at Reading)

[C-man]

What about Jose Mourinho?

or Sven-Goran Eriksson?

[Michael Doyle]

Louise don’t feel lonely as I am still with you. BTW if we, the LCFC supporters are not careful we will end up with G Souness from Newcastle. Much prefer CL than this option and believe you me if GS goes and CL follows I recon this is on.

Just to confirm that this is nothing I have heard at any games (haven’t been to any since Oct) I haven’t heard any rumours from the person sitting next to me who is a far removed relative of a friend who’s is the neighbour of GS 106 years old uncle, Or a well connected person at the club who happens to be a boot cleaner and certainly didn’t hear it at a board meeting of the "LCFC supporters best rumour for the day committee". It is purely a matter of opinion on my behalf.

COME ON YOU MIGHTY FOXES

[Ric Flair]

I know this chap has about as much experience as Craig Levein but would anyone be keen on Brian Kerr? I'm not sure what his record is like or anything, but just throwing another name in to the ring. Probably crap but thought i'd raise the topic.

Don't really know anything about him ric (other than his time with ireland) so cannot really make any kind of assesment.

I'm still a Levein supporter btw, but it's getting pretty lonely over here.

Bloody hell, longest post ever

I'd say from that list that Dave Penney hits me as the best of the realistic options.

Bad times when you wonder whether he'd want to leave Donny to come to Leicester though

[Louise]

Louise don’t feel lonely as I am still with you.

Me and you against the world then.
