Confirmed by Pete Smith that Eustace was in the crowd. Official announcement must be close then. Appalling, lazy decision if true. He won’t last until Easter. Pretty much like your mate AN then Except we wont be having to pay for him

Who really wants to manage this squad? Realistically we are fishing in the bottom of the barrel. The squad and the organisation are a disaster and it's all been presided over by John Coates.
The only thing he can offer is gobs of money which will attract more charlatans but it won't attract the type of manager we so desperatly need to stay up.
Five seasons of wrong managerial appointments and poor player recruitment all falls at his feet. JC needs to step aside or nothing will change IMO.

I'm feeling Charlie, Whelan & Walters vibes.
Charlie is going to need an assistant and coaches in his first position.
What do I win for suggesting Charlie as next manager?

He's an unknown quantity really He is relatively unknown I agree but what little we do know is promising, kept them up and as you say started well, he ticks the box for someone that isn't just the same old too, I'm surprised so many seem to be against him.

No but it seems to be fashionable these days, Charlie wanted the Dundee job. Gerrard, lampard, Rooney, Carrick, Parker, kompany, I'm sure the list goes on, they've all started relatively high up in the pyramid. I wouldn't be against it at all, me

Highky rated as a coach before the Brum gig and given the circumstances at Brum he did a good job there. Whether hes what we need I dont know, Could go either way I guess I defo woukdnt write him off as some have though

I think people have just looked at the win ratio at Blues without understanding the cobrext of the relegation battle he was chucked into and assumed he wants to play negative spiling football at all times

Radio Stoke have just thrown Steve Davis name about as being in attendance too. Obviously scouting for Wolves but, anyway... he favors 4 at the back with seven up front.. Including the goalie it's a 147. Formation, let's hope the ref does not notice the extra man, or we will be snookered...
