No manager would come to a team based on their youth prospects anyway...

Exactly. Not only Chamberlain, but we have Ward-Prowse, Reeves, Hoskins and Jake Sinclair all to come through in the next few years. All have had absolutely outstanding reviews.

Unfortunately the best candidates for me would be Dubai_phil or Ericofarabia...

I disagree with the assertion that we don't have good youngsters coming through anyway.

To be fair the only type of appointment that wouldn't get my support would be the likes of Paul Hart...

This. There is NO reason why you could not name the bloke you've "heard" it will be.

Going to tell us HOW you know?

It feels like pre-season again.

Good idea. So we get to the Prem, THEN introduce this system and probably get relegated while the whole club adjusts. I'd rather have 2 years of upheaval and then continued success.

They played well in those games. V Swindon and Rochdale, they were awful.

Late for a wedding?

Coming up to midday...

I think that Pompey have gotten off lightly as well, but if Wednesday go into admin tomorrow then it will be one rule for all.

His daughters.

I think people are ASSUMING that Reed is interfering in first team matters. I don't believe for a second that he is. This set up CAN work - different departments run by different people.

Maybe Keegan, O'Neill and Brown are all going to be part of the management team?

Not taking any bets after such a dramatic slide on his odds this evening must mean something.

Look at the title of the thread. If that is correct, then whoever is the new manager WOULD already have accepted the job.

My god, I hope he stays on there.

Didn't even take that long.

Dean invited him in for a drink? I thought Pardew was the rummy

Hypo is Nick Illingsworth.

Bournemouth ain't our rivals. "We got a team of league one superstars..." Christ, I hope people don't assume he's actually representative...

I heard it's being run like a football club...don't shoot the messenger.

P*ss off Illingsworth.
