is your source five live?

oh so was i, i was very happy with pard's appointment. I was just putting across that the general mood of most posters was a bit underwhelming at the time - but that was mainly because WGS and kk were ''apparently'' done deals

not last summer, i believe he was offered the job before we appointed Pearson - but he wanted to stay and get stoke up. I think he made the right choice!

I really wouldn't read into the Odds Adrian - Pardew wasn't even listed on some sites before he got the job. they know as much as us.

Probably not, it will come when we least expect it! as everything has been since Nicola and co have been in charge.

fair point.

*cough* Leonardo? *cough*

I have a niggling feeling that it will be manager that no one here has spoken about. Did we speak about Pard's before he was speculated? He came out of the blue and everyone was underwheled by it - i remember the reaction was pretty much ''oh....nice one'' but it didn't turn out that bad did it? at the end of the day a manager with an ounce of ability should be able to get us out of this league, as i believe Pardew would have done if he was kept on.

I reckon the premiership manager would be someone like Roberto Martinez, someone who is currently under pressure at Wigan as they're not having the best of starts. I'd imagine he's starting to wonder what more he can actually achieve there rather than survival and maybe he wants to jump ship before he's pushed?

The deal was done before the window closed, but was announced the following day once we'd got the confirmation from the FL.

I don't really rate Jewell if im honest. He ruined Derby.

Isn't it too late to sign him now though derry? I think the loan window is only open for domestic based loans, we'd have to wait until january to get him. Unless Fiorentina terminate his contract.

No one is having a pop at him? We're simply observing that he's not quite right this season, anyone with eyes can see that. Hopefully he sorts himself out because he really miss his influence. I don't understand why people seem to think that anything at this club is beyond criticism and everything is all rosy and fine.

We're in L1......Mowbray would be an awesome appointment. So would pearson, so would Atkins and so would Howe

never listen to that site!!! Kightly is also out injured for another 3 months

serious? walsall fan's wanted shot of him last year. They couldn't stand his management style.

Our start hasn't been disastrous (yet) by any means. Ok, it couldn't have been more traumatic but there is still alot of time to get going. This time last year after 5 games Norwich had 4 pts i believe, and Leeds were away on top with 15 points from 15. Football is a funny old game and the teams that often start on fire, often finish with a wiper.

It depends, if Cortese really wants his man is he prepared to back off and trust the guy he puts in charge? IMO i felt he never really trusted Pardew from the off and that trust got less and less as the season progressed. I think he needs to feel he has someone he can trust and someone who was his first choice, then he'll let him get on with it. He'd be silly not to.

He was the physio at scunny, then was promoted to manager - similar to Les Reed at Tranmere. and they do play good football, on the ground, quick and fast. Some people seem to think scunny play hoofball, but they couldn't be further away from the truth.

I also find it odd that apparently Howe is good enough for S****horpe as a replacement for Adkins if he comes (according to their forums), but collectively people on here aren't sure about him. Personally, he'd be a cracking appointment imo.

apparently the current scunphorpe GK coach was at the game on Saturday (kevin pressman) I still don't think anythings been decided. It's a big decision for Cortese and he needs to make sure he gets this bang on.

His name has been floating about, apparently he has connections to Cortese. but then so does every italian based manager by the sounds of it!

Don't worry, there are also people questioning if O'Neill is good enough for us.

Alpine saint would certainly be a wow appointment. Quite exciting actually, as it'll mean we'll be getting high quality cover for every player in our team.
