Cortese should analyse scores elsewhere in L1 today: Exeter 1 Charlton 0 Huddersfield 2 Bournemouth 2 Assuming of course MON is not lined up,and why not ? He'd love the challenge.

Agree that we need some divine intervention to assist us after the shambles today.

Time to go,Mr Lowe.

Massive improvement on Wilkins though.

Guly failed to hit the target. Inspired signing by someone. But who?

Doubt he'll be here in a week.

Nice one Mr C^ntese. Back to the drawing board.

Or indeed anywhere at all for that matter ?

Of course if we do appoint O'Driscoll it will seem bizarre typing SOD to be an inoffensive term. And if we appoint Zola, may I be the first to chant Zod off Zola if we are not ten points clear by the new year ?

Are you still trapped in a 2004 timewarp?

Fair point on SOD.

I appreciate your insight into AFCB having worked there,and observations on EH. However (excuse the pun) I'm not convinced that this AFCB-Saints thing will be so ingrained that he would not want to come to us. We all know this 'rivalry' is a 'lets pretend' one, and deep down so does any Cherries fan with half a brain. His time at Skates is,with respect to him as a player, is the highest level he played at so will be a time he remembers fondly. Many a scouser has played for and been involved with the other team in their city,so I don't see this 'tribal' thing preventing EH from coming to us. He might not be the first choice I would make,there are others ahead of him in terms of experience and potential, but he would not be last resort in my book.I'd certainly rather have the ambition/promise of a young manager such as EH, than a recycled rent a job such as Brown or Hart.

O'Neill (although unlikely of course),Mowbray,Tisdale,Howe,Adkins would be my order of preferences. Might fit KK in there somewhere but again can't see it happening.

So, Martin O'Neill or KK it is then. Unless of course its Paul Hart. Just edited the last sentence of your comments.

Agree, I would not dismiss the achievements of Tisdale,Howe or Adkins either, especially when compared to those of footballing illuminairies such as Bryan Robson,Platt and even Pearce.

In fairness I think AP was succesfull at both Reading and West Ham,albeit briefly at both.

Some Exeter fans still refere to Tisdale as a PE Teacher.

Curbishley is more in the Burley category, as having done a good job once and will dine out on that forever.

Sorry...ballsed up post.

Both.

They seem the outstanding names to me. Mowbray though might be keen on waiting for the 'Boro job.

Good reads on: Adkins :http://soccerlens.com/nigel-adkins-profile/6223/ Mowbray :http://soccerlens.com/tony-mowbray-destined-for-greatness/5782/

Please add Pulis to the not wanted list.

Any other candidates you know to have been interviewed ?

My thoughts exactly.
