He's made no secret of the fact that he wants one last manegerial job. I'm a bit surprised he hasn't put his name forward for the Crewe job.

If Denis takes a job at York then I'll make a point of going up there and watching a game.
Whos up for it?

York are Malcolm Clarke's second club - because of the Denis Smith connection.

Didn't York get 100 points or something stupid when Denis was manager before?

tnbuscuits - are you the Anthony Tams from Longton who is one of the £10k finalists who was pulled out of the hat today ?
You are right that my York connection pre-dates any Denis Smith connection with the club. When I was 10, our family moved from Stone to York. I hated it, and to try to cheer me up, my dad took me to Bootham Crescent, where I became a regular as a teenager, before I returned to North Staffs at age 18.
York has always been my 2nd team, and if the Potters aren't playing and York are, particularly if they are at home, I'm usually there. I'll be there tomorrow for the Crawley game. With less games in the PL it happens more often this season.
Denis is actually an icon at York, as he is at Stoke, because as stated above, he managed them when they got 100 points and had one of their beset teams in modern times. I think he might be the only manager to get 100 points with 2 different teams ( any statos who know out there) when he repeated the feat with Sunderland.
It will be great if he does take over at York again, although going back is not always a good idea. I know that at least one of his children lives in York.
If it happens, look out for the odd loan or two from Stoke to Kit Kat Crescent.

Good luck to you Denis if you do get the job.

Doesn't look like it's gonna happen - Denis has denied all knowledge, and said that people who saw in York for his book signing probably jumped to the wrong conclusion. We'll know tomorrow.

Crewe would make more sense for Denis as he has only recently moved back to North Staffs.

Denis likes a challenge - and he could take it knowing that he wouldn't come up against his beloved Stoke for a year or two at least!
