I actually didnt mind the idea of Mcclaren, but looks like he will be the next Blackburn manager.

And looks like we will be lumbered with Gregory! :(

Trio in frame for City job

by Bill Anderson

Nigel Worthington is the latest name to be thrown into speculation as Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric faces decision-day.

Former temporary City manager Worthington is joined by Nigel Pearson and John Gregory at the forefront of the list of those being most strongly tipped to take over the managerial vacancy at the Walkers Stadium.

Mandaric will make his choice of manager by the end of today with an announcement expected tomorrow.

Worthington, currently in charge of Northern Ireland, is being linked with the City job after he oversaw safety from the drop at the tail-end of the 2006/07 Championship season. He stepped in for the last five games after the departure of Robert Kelly.

Although City already had enough points, Worthington, who would have to leave the Irish job, ensured mathematical certainty.

He was under consideration to get the job permanently last year. But Mandaric went for Martin Allen, a decision he was soon to overturn.

Pearson, ironically, is someone who, towards the end of last season, severely dented City's survival hopes and saved Southampton in the process.

Pearson has worked with Bryan Robson at West Brom and Kevin Keegan at Newcastle, among others, and appeared hard done-by at Saints when a boardroom reshuffle saw him depart.

Gregory was part of the Brian Little coaching staff when City first gained promotion into the Premiership. He has experience not just of the top flight, but also the tier in which City now find themselves.

Mandaric will not reveal any names on his short-list at this time. But those three are understood to be among the main candidates under consideration although, I understand, not the only ones.

The City chairman knows it has come down to the crunch and he said: "I expect to make my choice today but, for obvious reasons, I cannot say yet who is really in the frame at this stage.

"What I do know is that he will have to be the right man to take us forward, and I believe he will be.

"This decision is going to be the most important I will have made since I came here.

"I know it has not gone anything like I planned for the club or anything like I expected.

"But I have had tremendous support from the fans and I am sure they will carry on that support to the new manager, and the new team we will have to build."

It's Pearson, Gregory or Worthington according to Blanderson.

:sick:

Is there any point in me praying for a last ditch attempt of us appointing John Collins?

Yes.

Oh sorry - I didn't read that properly, I thought you wrote "is it possible to get from Birmingham to Leicester in under two hours on a Friday evening".

I am really bored with waiting for this announcement. Can you tell?

If John Gregory has turned us down,

Then I'm happy,,

But, embarressed. :mellow:

Wortho saved us last season. id happily take him back at this club. he is a top class manager! if we get him in then we will be seriously lucky.

tbh i dont care now, i've had enough of this dispute. whoever it is will get my full support, this is our football club and i will love it no matter what league we are in or who is in charge!

The managers with bad records have to start a fresh at a club sometime and hopefully prove their critics wrong.

lets just get this over and done with. and get on with the bloody football!!

:scarf:

Why would Worthington WANT come back here though. He wasnt offered it on a full time basis last time so if i were him id tell Mandaric to stick it up his bum and that he should have kept him in the first place!

Ya know what i mean? lol

Is a point. However he was pretty much set up for the Northen Ireland job when we had him. Tbh i think hew came to us to get noticed again. A bit like Megson really.

NI job hasnt worked out for him really. he is looking for a way back into Club football and we have offered that oppertunity, and a chacne for him to get a decent wage, Mandy will probably pay him mroe then NI payed. Why wouldnt he take it?
