Latest Best Odds:
4/11 Carvalhal
8/1 Allardyce
9/1 Sheridan
10/1 Lambert
14/1 Jokanovic
25/1 Carbone, McKinley, Poyet, Warburton, Eriksson,
Does that mean Roeder will make all the signings?
It will be the Committee (although I hate that word) which gives better continuity. Obviously the HC is on the committee and has 25% input. It should avoid the wholesale change of coaching staff that occurs with each managerial change and often large turnover of players.
I do also think that there is an agent link up here which means that he will be involved in scouting players for us.

For me this guy would be a brave and out the blue risk. His statistics aren't great and can he even speak the lingo? Guess semedo and melo could double up as interpreter? He supposedly likes attacking football but his previous win rates aren't great 50% max. He has never even coached over here. He is apparently thought of by the Chelsea boss but does that mean owt? It will be a strange decision... There are more obvious options out there.

He did a great job at Brentford.
He was my pick for the job.

Warburton is very impressive & a deep thinker.
Maybe one day.

It will be interesting to see how Warburton fares at Rangers, the expectations up there are huge and the hatred between them and Celtic is a different world for most outsiders!! I would have liked to see him come to us but didn't he leave Brentford due to not wanting to work for a committee??

Jokanavich gone to manage Macabi Tel Aviv - another good candidate bites the dust.
I'm beginning to think that there really was a bust up with SG and DC thats caught us a bit flat footed but maybe all will be revealed tomorrow and we can loan Chelsea's reserves if the rumor on Jose's recommendation is true.

There have been several disagreements between DC & SG.
Firstly, DC wanted to sit in on team meetings but SG refused. The biggest was over SG saying that he would have the final say in transfers after DC had told him that he wouldn't.
In truth, it has worked out best for both parties. We get rid of SG and SG leaves with his reputation intact so he should be able to pick up another decent job, which probably wouldn't have been the case had he stayed much longer.
