I haven't heard that Redknapp's coming here. And if you think sooner or later MM will get lucky again I'll say this. I once had red come up 19 times in succession on the roulette table.

Thankfully I didn't bet it every time (and spent a small fortune backing it the 20th time to break even on the night) but the point still remains, there's no guarantee's of success however many times you change tack.

Not because success wouldn't arrive on the law of averages but because you might not have backed the one that was going to be successful for long enough.

absolutely

this is a point that i myself have made on this very forum so well done!

simply put milan made changes until he did get it right at pompey rather than perservering with people he felt were not what he felt right.

if he is willing to be ruthless to get us into the premier league i believe i would support him. mind you footy fans are a fickle bunch and i am one of 'em!

peace, love, empathy

Jewell hasnt rules us out at all and I guess he`ll listen to our approach

http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,1...2714635,00.html

Reid seems more bullish of a return though. :|

Jewell laughs off managerial links

Paul Jewell has distanced himself from reports linking him with Leicester and Derby - and has received no job offers since leaving Wigan.

Leicester are without a manager since the sacking of Martin Allen, while Derby boss Billy Davies is under pressure following a poor start to the Premier League season.

Jewell, however, said he is not actively looking for a job but would consider any offer made to him.

He said: "You can't stop people writing things but I have not been offered any job.

"I am not even actively seeking a new job at the moment, although of course I would consider something if it was offered to me."

Jewell was speaking at a Professional Footballers Association Centenary event at Haydock Races to raise money for Manchester Children's Hospital.

Peter Reid, the former Sunderland and Leeds manager, has also had his name linked with the vacant manager's position at Leicester and was also at the PFA event on Friday.

Reid would not be drawn on Leicester but confirmed he was keen to return to football management.

"Of course I would like to return to football but it's a case of biding your time and keeping your fingers crossed," said Reid

I know how you feel and to think we'll go through it all again, in a few months/weeks, when the next ones sacked!!!

FFF

Hope Milan keeps his short list, could save him a lot of time if he wields the axe again!

Clearly both have left the door wide open. Can't say I'm thrilled about either, and especially about Reid.

Jewell - average and Reid - below average. Surely there must be someone else!?! :(

Well it's going to be an interesting few days because if all the stories are to be believed Leicester City will have at least two managers by the middle of next week.

Peter Reid will be first in and will immediately dive in for 3 loan players the tale goes.

And George Burley will try to squeeze into the same office come the middle of the week according to another rumour.

Which should make team selection interesting.

Goalkeeper: Fulop... goalkeeper Fulop. Right back Chambers - right back Kaebi: no he's not, yes he is, no he's not. Left back Sheehan no, yes, no, yes...splat.

Doubtless many will be picked for both teams but it will be fascinating to see the what the others do. Perhaps there will be some sort of contest before the warm-up period, shots against the crossbar that sort of thing. With Birch as judge.

And will there be room for both Reid and Burley in the same technical area? What about substitutions?.

Perhaps we'll have two guys come off and only one replace them - twice!.

What fun it will be when Burley orders a full press high up the field and Reid uinsists on a tactical retreat. They'll be moving backwards and forwards like the tide. The fans could get seasick watching.

And if supporters think their seats are tight that'll be nothing compared to the bench if Reid and Burley both pick five different substitutes. Ten players on the five seats would be like a scene from the Indian railways. Perhaps they could play 10 Blue and White Bottles to make some space. Either that or ask DeVries to sit in the stands. That would leave four seats vacant.

Most interesting will be when Reid wants a guy off and Burley doesn't.

I can just see the player walking to the side of the pitch only to find the two managers tossing a coin.

Heads he's off, tails he stays. Double or quits. Best of five....

It would be the longest potential substitution in history. We could even have conceded two goals while the matter was being decided and the managers - at least Burley - wouldn't know cos he's a Scotsman and would never take his eye off the money being tossed.

At the press interviews afterwards, Burley would think we've won 1-0 while Reid would bemoan a 2-1 defeat. The mind boggles and do you know what I'm really bothered about?. There's no saying we won't be appointing a third manager come the morning. :D

Sorry. But when taken collectively it just shows how ridiculous the rumour treadmill is. :rolleyes:

Derby County have started the search for a new manager even though Billy Davies is still in charge at the club. (Daily Mirror)

we could do much worse than billy davies if he got the sack ;

he's done a decent enough job and seems to being sacked for unrealistic expectations at sheepshag county

david o'leary could be worth a gamble too

They'd need to dump him soon for us to be able to make a realistic move for him and i just don't think we can risk "waiting around", if he becomes free then great - otherwise we'll have to contend with our rather limited options. But i agree that we could do far far worse than Davies.

I'm proper sick of speculation. I was looking forward to the transfer window being shut and us having a manager and a full compliment of players. I just want us to hire someone so we can just get on with it.

If the 6 names are to be accurate why would MM draw up a list of mostly failed managers when on here as fans we have given better caliber of managers IMHO who either would have a possibility of being interested or are out of work?
