Judging from this poll, he would get as close to 100% support as anyone could ever hope for!

Bruce has integrity, so that's an important point for me in his favour, I just don't see it happening though. Would still go for Koeman.

Yeah. There was no need for that. It's just your running joke after all. No big deal.

For me, the shame is that I really liked him when he first arrived, and for quite a while after. It has to be said though that I thought the same about that brain dead moron beeyatch cow that was my ex wife. I'd like to see her boobs boil and her arse fall out. Much the same as I feel about MP now! Edit: Re the above post. Adkins was more like that first girlfriend. You think of her fondly and forgive any of the bad stuff because you were both still learning the ways of the world together.

And got the hell out of Dodge before he could walk. He probably knew that the town would screw him out of royalties somehow.

Um, then they can post it in the thread for reference?

I love that this is a public poll.......There are quite a few prolific posters on here that have not yet voted. Come on guys, put your X on the poll. Afraid of the day when this thread gets resurrected?

I see that Mack Rill voted for An Other. Koeman it is then!!! Anything to pee off the skates!

He didn't want to be here, so he walked out. Whatever his positives were, being a reluctant manager over-rides every other consideration. Now that it's over, it's probably a good thing that he went sooner rather than later. A complete season with his heart not in it while he waited for a bigger club would have been terrible for us. So yes. He got rid of us just in time IMO

oops. see below.

I see Theodore Roosevelt never made the poll. I am disappointed, quite frankly.

Very, very moving. There is just so much to love about that guy too, not least his great stature. Although very different, it immediately reminded of Pink Floyd's "Southampton Dock"

My father in law was one of them (survived the Pacific) Trust me, he never let me forget! FWIW, He also banged on a LOT about how Britain were weak, and desperate for the US to save them. (True in many respects, but said with disdain.) He also liked to tell me that Churchill made the "Fight them on the beaches" speech to tell the Brits that he would not surrender because the majority of the British population wanted to surrender. Actally, he was a major **** in many other aspects of his personality, but I do take the point about the rest of the ordinary Americans and wholeheartedly agree.

OK, now I want a manager with knockers!!! Lucy Pinder for manager!!!! (Teddy Roosevelt for assistant)

Spy cams? Why do we not have an "Ask Bearsy" section?

Is that under the "Things to avoid" part of the OP?

Priceless!!!

That's a very important moment when you are the drunk guy at the bar. Gotta work on the pose. Just the right amount of mystery, look assertive yet approachable, get your sense of humour across............That's how it seems in the ol' brain box anyway. Usually, it just looks like a drunk guy trying to sneak out a fart.

My dad was too young for D-Day, but was a part of the Berlin air lift. He always tried to give the impression that he was sad about being too young for the war, and especially D-Day..........It was unspoken between us, but we both knew that he was actually relieved. He knew that like most of us, he would have crapped his pants all the way from the south coast to Berlin. But for their age, these were the people there on the day. Afraid, reluctant, insecure.........But prepared, willing and exceptionally brave.

Oh yes, if you don't want cowman, don't google "reverse cowman"

I'll be very disappointed now if we get anyone other than Teddy R. I am starting to think though, that he may be a bit dead. Could we sign Robin Williams to play his part? He looked just like him in the Night at the Museum movie. Teddy S would be a disaster. No Presidential experience at all according to Wikipedia.

We could go on all day long about how the USA Hollywooded the war. I'll just get back to honouring the last and the passed of our own, as in the post above.

Yes. Makes perfect sense to everyone without an ego that needs to be massaged.

Naming the American invasion points after US locations was a good PR move for later years compared to Sword, Juno or Gold. Americans marketing a war. Who would have thunk it.

There were soldiers there from nations besides the USA?..........I've obviously lived here too long. It seems a great shame to me that it should cease while there are still 650 veterans of D-Day. My utmost respect to them. I would love to have a pint with one of them in a pub, could learn a LOT.
