Royal Rother LUX Lolz at the Bergkamp love. Ok, I never liked Bergkamp so have previous, but Clarke fell from grace for being a mercenary. Bergkamp would leave us for a Premiership club at the first sniff.
So would everyone else.
Successful - poached away after a year.
Unsuccessful - sacked after a year.
Which would you rather have?
How come Pardew managed us for 211 games if he was poached after one successful season? It's true though I spose, I mean it applies to every successful manager we've had in the last 15 years... Coppell, McDermott...
This really has been terrible timing... If Clarke had gone in the summer, when he'd done FA (Now that would have been an overly quick sacking in everything other than hindsight) we could have had Warburton. If Dolan wasn't seriously ill, he'd be a shoe in if he wanted it.
Pearson is a great option in football terms, but there's off the pitch worries there. Bergkamp is an extremely exciting possibility, but limited pedigree. Parkinson or Coppell are the obvious heart over head options, but I can't see either being up to it. Sigh.
