Slight misquote from Ledge, he just said it would be from down under so could still be a kiwi.

Rafa Benitez then it is.

Harry Redknapp could be available from May. He likes being at clubs with lots of money to spend.

Is Matt Parish coming back ?
Seriously,Feel sorry for Phil worked under difficult circumstances from day one

If he is I'd book a return flight.

Some of have mentioned we could end up like Chelsea. Really? Hope so. We would win the league, Challenge Cup and World Club Challenge.

Perhaps, but it doesn't seem to be going too well for them at the moment. By being more patient, Manchester United have built the more sustainable trophy purchase scheme.

Quoting Man U as a model that another sport should follow is pushing it. What's happened at Man U with Fergie is pretty much unique the world over. It's all very well putting them on a pedestal as a paragon of how things should be done, but even in football it's an exception and not the norm. There's no guidebook for how to make a Club successful in sport.

SHOCKING DECISION..I was really pleased to see you survive and attract a wealthy owner but i am left stunned by the sacking of Phil Veivers...i hope your owner shows more loyalty to the players he has there,as you have some really good young talent

Yes my bad! Still expect it to be an Aussie though!

I'm not. I'm quoting Chelsea as a model that [ishouldn't[/i be followed.

Does anyone think the decision was influenced by the failure to attract targeted players? Perhaps the club feel a big name coach will help their ambitious recruitment drive.

I think that's bang on - undoubtedly PV was doing a pretty good job with the resources available to him, BUT we all know those resources are going to change dramatically in the near future and if I were the owner doing that, then I reckon I'd want some proven ability to give the best chance of success.

Hopefully PV will continue in the game, gain experience and prove his worth and reappear as a head coach in the future.

Yes redshed

It's Kevin Iro
