Spot on. Stadium supposedly starting to be built next year. Absolute zero chance of them risking it with a new manager next season. Roy and Ray nailed on

Viewed objectively I think they're both in the 'promising young English manager' category with limited and unsuccessful PL experience. I don't think we should take a risk with either. I think Parish will have learned and we'll get either Ron Roy and Paddy for another season, Potter or Roger's, someone with a great deal of PL experience

Even if we appointed one of that list, we're still 50/50 as to needing to do this again this time next year.

26th January 2010 - Enter Administration
2nd May 2010 - D-Day 1 - Survival at Hillsborough
1st June 2010 - D-Day 2 - Survival at Lloyds
7th June 2010 - CPFC2010 exchange contracts.

They're all warning against this in the media!

Oh hang on, that AI. I don't know which is worse though.

With Roy as back up Parish can't be f*cked about - so we're in a nice position. Can see Potter going to Leicester - Steve Cooper has a funny relationship with his owners, backed and undermined at the same time - Parish rated him before he proved himself at prem level, and I think a move to Selhurst wouldn't be a step down. The foreign managers named seem generally unrealistic - much more likely to get Rutter than Slot but it's all hearsay. I wonder if they'll revisit Lucien Favre - great track record, you never know if it will translate to the prem but he came across as having that quiet intelligence that the likes of Sven Goran Erikson have.

Pease Pottage?
No thanks.
