dandannieldanok Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 Not sure if this has been noted yet but if you go on ITV teletext page 567 (Leicester Pages) Burrows infers that he'd want the job or something similar.
Simi Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 Yeah he was on SSN. He gave it the usual... "Who wouldn't want to manage Leicester City, great ground, great fans, great staff" Let's not go down this road again ay?
Father Ted Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 ermmm... no! I'd much rather have Jol, Capello or Mourinho
Jordan Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 The flat cap-tache combination does it for me. AMEN.
Father Ted Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 The flat cap-tache combination does it for me. I thought Victor Meldrew was dead ?!
Flynny Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 Wouldn't mind. Wouldn't love to see him get it but I wouldn't cry or owt. Let's see how he does next few games.
Simi Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 He's a nice chap, but still lets see. No. No. Do not say that mate. Who was that 'nice chap' that nearly got us relegated?
brookfox Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 Saw him in the dugout at the S****horpe game and thought it was Kaebi's interpreter! When I saw him doing the final talk to the subs before they came on I thought, hey up, we've got another Mourinho on our hands here!
Webbo Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 The flat cap-tache combination does it for me. That's Farmer Boyce.
GO GADGET GO Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 Not sure if this has been noted yet but if you go on ITV teletext page 567 (Leicester Pages) Burrows infers that he'd want the job or something similar. good god, in that case i want the job.
Dames Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 Apparently he worked wonders at Forest after Megson left. Appears he favors the same system so we shouldn't give it too him. I really can't stand defensive football of that magnitude.
mkingy Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 I didn't feel we we're too defensive today, we seemed to play some pretty decent football! I think Milan can afford to delay the decision and keep him on as caretaker for a couple of games to see how we fair.
Ultra Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 If we beat Chelsea, the job's his! But see what happens in the next couple of weeks. If we put an unbeaten run together in the league, he's got as good a chance as anyone..

Lets Be having You Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 fooking hell no,we would be the laughing stock of the game,fook no,no,no
davieG Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 Just Checked this is what it says on Wikipedia. Ambitious as a manager, Burrows left Swindon to be appointed Assistant Manager to Jimmy Dickinson at Portsmouth F.C.. When Dickinson resigned in 1979 Burrows replaced him. Burrows enjoyed success at Portsmouth as a manager, and after leaving the club in 1982 he spent time as assistant manager at Sunderland F.C., before being appointed manager at Cardiff City F.C. in May 1986. Burrows arrived to a Cardiff side demoralized by two successive relegations under former manager Alan Durban that had left the club in the bottom rung of the Football League. Burrows brought in his own coaching staff, including former City manager Jimmy Goodfellow, Bobby Smith and Gavin Tait, and set to work revitalising a side that had dropped the new depths. Burrows managed to lead City to promotion in the 1987/88 season, but the side would struggle in the old Third Division and following disagreements with the Board of Directors, Burrows resigned in August 1989. Later that year, he would return to Portsmouth as assistant manager to John Gregory, before being appointed manager in 1990. However, he left the following year after a string of poor performances. Burrows would then arrive at Swansea City F.C. in March 1991, and would enjoy a productive four-year spell as manager of the Swans. However, a falling out with the board would lead to Burrows departure in July 1995, being succeeded in the position by his assistant, Bobby Smith. He was then on the coaching staff at West Ham United F.C., working under manager Harry Redknapp before returning to Cardiff City as manager in February 1998, succeeding Kenny Hibbitt in the manager's position. Under Burrows, Cardiff won promotion to the old Division Two in the 1998/99 season, but the team found themselves struggling to stay out of the relegation zone, and Burrows resigned in February 2000, being succeeded by his assistant Billy Ayre. From 2000 until 2004, Burrows was assistant manager to Gary Megson at West Bromwich Albion. and helped them win promotion to the Premiership twice. In 2001 Burrows was diagnosed with cancer of the kidney, and spent several weeks away from The Hawthorns in order to recover from major surgery.[1] In 2002 he signed a new three-year deal with the Baggies.[2] Burrows took charge of two games as caretaker-manager following Megson's departure in November 2004, but left the Hawthorns once Bryan Robson arrived, despite being offered a role in the new setup.[3] He was then given an opportunity to resurrect his partnership with Gary Megson, when he was offered the job of first team coach at Nottingham Forest., but he turned the post down, citing family reasons.[4] He did join up with Megson again two years later though, taking up a role in the Leicester City. coaching setup.[5] The partnership was not to last long, however, as after less than a month in the job, Megson resigned, leaving Burrows as Leicester City's caretaker manager.
Thracian Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 I think Burrows may well be better than Megson, but we'll see. However if he wants to be a legend instead of a passsing fashion he'll convert 2-0 halftime leads into 6-0 humiliations. Cos no arsehole who calls himself a manager could possibly have lost to the shit that represented our opposition today.

We're not fuc king Chelsea.
Joe. Posted 27 October 2007 Posted 27 October 2007 Burrows dismissed questions that Taggart could be handed the job over him and insisted that he had no problem with the crowd's support for Taggart. He said: "Gerry's young and he's starting his career and he knows that I'll help him in any way I can. "But he also knows that I'm cleverer than him as well."
maddog Posted 28 October 2007 Posted 28 October 2007 Apparently he worked wonders at Forest after Megson left.Appears he favors the same system so we shouldn't give it too him. I really can't stand defensive football of that magnitude. Burrows was calling for all the players to get forward yesterday when we were 2-0. Thought we attacked well yesterday, wouldn't mind him getting it though id rather have Walsh Could we try and get Mourinho on a 1 game contract for the Chelsea game
Jon the Hat Posted 28 October 2007 Posted 28 October 2007 Oh shut up, you delusional fuc k wit. A win is a win. We're not fuc king Chelsea. Plenty of teams give others the occasional thrashing.. For some reason we never seem to.
