aye cheer up sima. even i'm buzzing at this. it's bound to end in disaster but he's going to bring the feel good factor back. imagine the atmopshere when he's unveiled (deschamps probably would have been the smart appointment but who gives a fuck? this club is a soap opera after all)

they say never go back but the hairs on the back of my neck are going mad. shearer to be his number 2?

reuters breaking news!!!!!!!!!!!!! i don't believe it

about as much truth in it as your baines tip

god, i don't.

not hugely impressed with any of the options tbh. Whilst they may be the best we can hope for, I dont really 'want' any of them. who do you 'want'?

shame we were manager-less when he became available. could have been a good long term replacement for butt

of that lot i'd say: 1) deschamps 2) keegan/shearer or shearer and a.n other

nah; i'm alright

dunno but apprantly he's told his bosses that he doesn't want to leave his current role at the french fa

Did a job in Serie B..... ... just not really a good one. eh? he took them up didn't he?

don't see it happening tbh

i didn't realise anal oliver was filing for the telegraph these days

just found this on the guardian website news to me that shearer and keegan aren't friendly. anyone know what their beef is?

i'm surprised nufc.com haven;t commented on this. they're usually one of the first to confirm if there;s any truth in a rumour. no news of this on most of the big football sites either. where did this rumour originate?

where did you get that from?

now this would be an exciting appointment. he's young, highly rated, he's got a high profile across europe and he won the lot as a player. he's bound to help attract much better quality foreign players than the likes of redknapp and hughes. i could see a lot of good french players joining the club if he gets the job. the first manager we've been linked with that i'm genuinely excited about.

apparantly terry mac is on well over £100k a year. not bad money for putting the cones out for training and getting the bets on for the boys

apparantly he's just been seen coming out of the greggs by the hippy green

agreed - we could do much worse. even better if he gets shearer on board as his number two because then the fans will get behind them both and hopefully give them time to do the job. although the latest stories seem to imply that shearer would only take the top job so that idea might be non-starter

Very true. The last bit applies to SBR too. some of us knew what we had when we had him! i can't believe so many thought (and still think) we should have sacked robson.
