Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Just proves that the odds are a farce anyway - the only link to Lee Johnson is that he was spotted at the Mansfield game. Meanwhile last night Ashley Cole went from 66/1 to 12/1 after being mentioned on here a couple of times. I imagine whoever we appoint won't even have been mentioned yet.

Early to mid 90s - Dave Carroll at Walthamstow Dogs, posh side.
On the way out, I also saw Vinnie Samways in the line for Charlie Chans nightclub.

Always remember him running from the halfway line at Elm Park after an error to score in the Coca Cola cup as it was.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Interestingly, Sam Vokes today said he got his A license a while ago, so he has some formal coaching training to a significant level.
The weird thing for me is the utter lack of smoke around a new head coach. Ian Evatt is just available (hence his rise in the odds market) and Lee Johnson already explained how he was not approached and why his odds came down (being seen at Mansfield), so there are no genuine favourites currently.
This is a total guess, but I think the Danish chap was the main target, and the Danish players were part of smoothing that road. However, I would expect us to have a longer list of Plan C, D, E etc., so it is a little strange for time to be drifting on like this. The one thing that gives me confidence is that the Danish chap is the sort of target I would prefer to Gerrard, Johnson, Buckingham, Martin, Evatt, etc. etc., so hopefully we are in Stockholm or Copenhagen right now, talking to another Scandy.

I hope you asked Grant how his cold was?
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Seeing his name just now made me think it's interesting that no-one has mentioned the experienced management team of Gupps (with his international coaching experience) and Gary Smith. Probably not considered to have enough 'higher level' experience, I guess. And too 'old school...'? Having light and dark blue blood running through your veins isn't a tick box anymore - as we know.
Anyway, I lost track of them since they left Nashville... but had more than a soft spot for both of them as WWFC players, of course.
Re: Richard Kone signs
They don't allow cars around the corner flags there anyway, only coracles.

"Hello darkness my old friend" just feels like a Bristol Rovers line, anyway.
