who would be? Assuming Martin O'Neill is not interested in the job.

well as no one seems to know anything about it or who they are, then it suggests they weren't exactly massive cogs in the SFC wheel. Apparantly the players liked him as did the first team staff, surely that is all that matters. Not if the U8's summer schools coach doesn't like him. To me it's clear, Cortese wanted to get rid of Pardew, they clearly didn't see eye to eye, ML liked him, now ML (RIP) is no longer involved, Cortese can get rid of him.

Tony Adams then??

Because he only took West Ham to a midtable premier league finish and kept them up when they sold his best players, thats why. Apparantly that makes his management pedigree not up to it for league one. :lol::lol:

So you heard the name of someone, who you cant say who it is, but is English, but you cant say who it is? Why bother posting that nonsense then? I've heard loads of names today, some English some not, but i can say who they are.

Would you take 3-4 mid table Premier League finishes a League Cup win and a UEFA cup final over a 4 year period? IMO for a club like Boro, that is a pretty decent return. You cant critise his record at INTERNATIONAL LEVEL as a reason for him to be a top League One manager FFS!! Not for one minute do i think he would be interested in the job mind.

He was on goals on sunday saying that he wanted a long term project as he has become a 'nomad manager' not saying it's him like, but just what he said. He'd love the the job.

they use the same faith healer.

and this is??

I dont see what the big problem is with Zola. Why do you fear it's him?

I cant believe some of you lot are turning your nose up at Steve McClaren, Alan Curbishley and questioning Zolas mangement pedigree at Premier League Level! People need to get a grip of where we are, we are a league one club FFS!! In the same division as managers like Alan Irvine, Danny Wilson, Greg Abbot, Eddie Howe, Paul Tisdale etc. People saying they dont want McClaren as he hasn't got what it takes to get us out of L1 or Zola has no management pedigree, he is did a reasonable job in the PL and McClaren won the Dutch league, Carling cup and got to the UEFA cup final FFS!! I dont agree with AP getting the chop but these guys are more than able replacements, honestly, some of you lot are mental! (not saying for one minutes any of them are interested mind!)

Why??!! He won the league in Holland took Middlesborough to the UEFA Cup final and won the League Cup, yet not good enough for league one! I cant believe people are turning their nose up at the likes of Zola and McClaren, we are a league One Club FFS, some of you are mental!!!

I've heard this as well, aparantly it was well known at WHU that this was going on.

Don Howe would be my prefered choice. Been there done that, also coached at International level. Great tactician too, for L1 anyway, dont mess about with it, get it long. However i think Tony Cascarino has all the ability to make a great manager. We should get him, maybe with Don Howe as his mentor.

I want one of these. Tony Cascarino, Bruce Rioch, Gerry Francis, Ron Atkinson, Don Howe or Graham Taylor. Everyone else can jog on.

I just heard Tony Cascarino is being stongly linked. He wants to get into management and is a friend of Corteses. Plus he had got an Italian sounding name.

Now he would be a great choice, took Wigan from L1 to the PL and promoted to the PL with Bradford. Not great at Derby but that wasn't his team.

This is true, Pearson did rather well with no knowledge of league one and very little management experience at all. I'd love to have him back. A competent CCC or PL manager should be able to manage at a lower level easily.

Pardew was not a premier league manager when we got him, he had been sacked by Charlton who were at the foot of the CCC. I thought we did well to get him and i cant think of anyone who is available with a better CV than AP. It is a really strange decision, they must have someone lined up, i hope it is, but i cant see it being O'Neill.

1. Win every game 2. Win every game by at least 5 goals 3. Be a yes man. 4. Call Cortese Mr Cortese or Sir.

Probably a bit old now?

thats what certain people said about signing who we want, just offer them enough cash yet Danns, Stock & Bailey all rejected us. I'd love O'Neill here, but just cant see it happening.

Fit, like me, but with long hair. I would.

He would be my choice too, but do you really think a manager like Martin O'Neill is going to drop down two divisions? There is no way a manager of O'Neills reputation and ability will join a league one club.

My sisters got a mate who works as a receptionist a the BBC offfice in Cardiff and she overheard someone say on friday that apparantly Capello is to quit England after these weekends games to take over at an unnamed league One club which is just about to sack it manager. I thought it was Wallsall but now i'm not so sure.
