I don't think anyone's disputing the job he did at Villa didn't go well. One club does not a bad manager make though sandy.

Steve Clarke is set for a career defining summer transfer window. Lets see what he can do and look at this again in September

Surprised not to hear Parky's name mentioned in this...

[From Despair To Where?]

Give Clarke time to build a team on his terms.

However, Lambert isn't a bad call, I think you have to look past this season,

Interestingly, I had a conversation with someone very close to Mark Lawn a couple of weeks ago who said that the only reason Phil Parkinson isn't already our manager is that his family are settled in Yorkshire and it wasn't right to uproot his kids again.

I think Bryn would be good but I didn't realise he was only Assistant Manager where he is at the moment

Give it Giggsy til t'end of t'season.
