    Has anyone mentioned Claus Jensen, done a pretty good job managing a small club in Denmark for the past two years, that may be near the limits of its potential and all the obvious connections. TS must know him - and he does like being popular. 
    That’s exactly what we need! Another club legend, untried at this level. 
    Although I expect you’re whooshing here?
    Like Lee Bowyer and Chris Powell?
    Was Bowyer ever a 'Club Legend'
    After his racist antics after he left, more a
    Leg End. 

    And being caught out on dope testing as a yoof player.
    Cannabis, ecstasy and packet. Can certainly testify that isn't performance enhancing just in case anyone was wondering...
    Going back to around 1966/67 I’d say, an old pal of mine who had come up through the youth team and was playing regularly for the reserves (as it was then), came to grief with the club.
    He went down to Brighton or Margate for a weekend away clubbing it with some pals from the Lewisham Mods scene.
    Biggest mistake of his life.
    He swallowed some Doobs, Purple Hearts (SKF’s), I was never exactly sure of how the info got back to The Valley but sadly for him somehow it did.
    Now this fella was clearly looking like he was going to make the grade all the way but he was history in seconds flat.
    How times have changed!
    Didn't seem to hold Curbishley back. I've seen video evidence of him launching a table through a brighton cafe window  having it with some rockers in '79.
    For those readers who might be taking this seriously (I bet there are quite a few), AC had a minor role in Quadrophenia where he is cast as a mod who throws a table through a cafe window in Brighton.
    Al’s elder brother Bill of course manages The Who and that was his link to appearing in the movie.
    I had taken it seriously, never knew about his acting career.

    Not seen Jon Dahl Tomasson mentioned.


    Won the Swedish League in charge of Malmo the last two years

    Why would he swap Champions League Football for League One - Although I'd still rate him higher than our Strikers

    Appears he's left Malmö so might not too be daft , but would be very very left field. 
    Oh yes - He departed in December - Makes me feel better seeing them in third at the moment ;)
    Yes he did leave, he resigned last Dec I think. I know for a fact he was being touted as coming to the UK to work, that's what I've contacted my mate about, because Jon mentioned to my mate about following him to his next role, wherever that was going to be.
    Sorry @RedMidland, I didnt know whether to like your post or laugh.

    When you posted the original comment about knowing someone at Malmo, I wasnt sure if you were on a wind up, similar to where we all pretend to have someone we know at another club in question - Found your Malmo connection so bizarre I couldn't be sure, but your latest post clearly suggests you do know someone :)

    Reading this, yes I know but it's the only source I could find, I think he could.  Laudrup however couldn't. 

    I don't know how much this actually applies, Barnsley's last manager got appointed from Sweden with no problems.

    If he had worked in the top division for the last 2 years or 3 of the last 5 he would be OK?

    No problem @ForeverAddickted yes I do know someone, he is at Malmo after leaving a club in the UK. I'm hoping he might be able to shed some light on the rumour, I don't think my mate would follow him now as Malmo are doing very well in the league with a chance of European football again next season and his wife is just moving out to Sweeden in 2 days time.

    Social media is lacking nuance. Man United went 18 months in the League under Solskjaer without losing away from home.
    A fantastic achievement and a record.
    He loses at Leicester and concedes 4 and he is clueless; he is tactically naive and is out of his depth !

    As you can't get away with bullying players like Ferguson and when Clough hit Roy Keane you need different "Skill" to motivate players.

    Thomas Sandgaard will go for the guy who he feels he and Martin can dovetail with.

    Mark Warburton likes to be vocal with his CEO or Director of football so that may rule him out.

    Richard Murray had a great relationship until the last few months with Curbs. 
    Murray said he put the most money in so he made the decisions or had the final say. So it will be Thomas Sandgaard's casting vote.

    My mate has responded, it's quite a long text, but he doubts it will be true. I've responded saying thanks but also asked if he did get the gig would, my mate, follow him! I'm waiting for a response to that question as well.
    Jon resigned after 2 very successful seasons at Malmo as he wanted a new challenge. He has said other things as well but not for on here.

    I know a lot of people would be against it due to Millwall links, but I've begrudgingly admired Neil Harris for a long time. A good coach, who is exactly the sort of character we need to sort out this mess.  

    It'll probably be some unheard of Danish guy though 
    To be honest I was thinking the same thing if you look past the millwall link could do well!!

    Anyone watching the Swansea v QPR game.

    Warburton wearing what looks like a Castore top.
    Loving the 3-5-2. I wonder if it would suit our players.

    FFS, QPR’S season has been over for a good hour now, and TS has still not announced Warburton.
    This club is a shambles, I blame Martin, we should all protest in Colorado and bake JJ a cake to make him feel better. 
    Warburton is dissing us 😉

    I don’t get any positives for Neil Harris. Notwithstanding the Millwall factor, he just took Gills down to lg2 FFS

    He wouldn’t need one, could just book a 4 week holiday

    On other thread Mark Bowen has said he won’t be staying at Wimbledon as he is taking a job much higher up the pyramid. To be announced next week.

    Bowen is my choice and I was surprised that he hasn't been quoted as a candidate. Unlike JFH his playing spell with us is a plus not a minus. 

    Cawley confirmed when he took over at Afc that he had wanted our job when Adkins left. I was very impressed when he guested on Charlton Live with his analysis. You certainly wouldn't have JFH as a guest on that. 

    Do we qualify as higher up the pyramid? Maybe but I doubt it.

    I am not bothered by his allegiances or which side of the sectarian divide he comes from, what does worry me is other than that first spell at Celtic he has been an angry failure.

    Alphabetically, before the 1st game of 22/23 we should be over 85 places above them - which would be a better sales pitch.
