    Allardyce apparently turned down the Newcastle job last year, he is 66 years old and been retired two years now, do you really think he will come here? Not gonna happen. Never been a fan of his tbh, except for the time we beat Blackpool in the playoffs!

    Do you bring anything to the table when people are trying to have a grown up conversation? you don’t like Sol Campbell.. I get it. You better start lowering your expectations though otherwise you’re going to be very disappointed. Back to fifa you go.

    We don't need a manager that's done something in football management.

    It's about having the right set up.

    I don't see what's enormously grown up about reading your posts telling other people they don't know what they're talking about whilst defending an awful manager, but I'll give you the point about playing FIFA now and again.

    Like most footballers, actually.

    Not sure who I would want as manager. We are swimming in the shit pool right now. I would be highly surprised if anyone of the sort of calibre we need actually applies.

    I am sure the LMA grapevine will have leaked a few home truths over the last few years about the club and how it has been run.

    I know we have a new CEO but the owner is still around.

    Dunno what to expect to be honest.

    Though the bookies betting odds fiasco is cheering me up somewhat.

    Don't know if its been mentioned before but pete Wild at halifax would be a great if left field. Doing a great job at halifax and did well at Oldham as caretaker.

    I think Sol Campbell and the clusterf*ck that is Bradford City would be a disastrous combination, but people trying to say he didn't do a good job at Macclesfield need to give their heads a shake.

    The owner isn’t going to put any prospective managers off. What managers don’t like is interference from above regarding team selection or signings of players, something Edin and Geoffrey were guilty of. Much as Stefan gets stick on here you can hardly accuse him of trying to pick the team.

    My No 1 choice would be Anthony Johnson & Bernard Morley ! Absolutely the right men at the right time. Love to see them tear into the gutless bunch masquerading in our shirts ?.

    Sam has "itchy feet" and seems to want to help a struggling club that should be doing better but something less demanding than Premier League. I believe he still lives in Bolton so not too far away.

    Danny Cowley, as in the guy who was at Huddersfield?

    I think I've had enough of these pretty untried managers. We need someone who has some backbone, the players will respect and will get them playing as they should.

    Expectations don't come much lower than sol Campbell. Get off you high horse, stop throwing cheap insults and I might just take your future posts seriously.

    FYI I'm about 45 years to old to play video games and base my opinions on what I've seen which is a very good ex player expecting to walk into jobs because of his race rather than his ability.
