Some chap on here who clearly does not like the cut of my jib has accused me of "Backtracking" on previous comments.

My riposte was as follows :

"With respect, I am under the opinion that the comments which you have attributed to me were made some time ago, probably back in March!"

When I witnessed the diatribe and barbs my initial reaction was the nickname of Northampton Town FC.
Anyway, these contretemps only serve to veer the thread off-course so having responded I will refrain from any further responses and will ignore any further accusations.
I will pass comment when a new manager is appointed.

No big budget , and according to Parish, it must be someone that fits like a glove, knows and accepts how the club works. That sounds like another with some former links to the club ..
Is Dougie, going to slip in here.? Chris Coleman?

It wouldn't surprise me if Lampard has turned the job down due to lack of a transfer budget.

If we have no funds and we can't prise Dyche away from Burnley then maybe we should be looking at a Championship manager because that's the player pool we will be looking to dip into?

I'd suspect we already have a manager lined up as we did when Warnock and Pardew were planned departure. The replacements to both of them were announced in 24/48hours.

Parish is going to wait until after the Liverpool game to announce who is coming in.

Fans should note that we are currently looking to recruit for the best available managerial position in English football. We aren't shopping in the reject bin for the likes of George Burley. Those days are long behind us.

Because they let Lewington go I’m optimistically / stupidly assuming they’ve got someone lined up who is bringing their current no. 2
