dougal Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Just seen on the web that Luton have sacked him. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/luton_town/7183317.stm Would take him at hearts along with John Carver as coach. Think he would do really well up here, plus he has a good knowledge of lower league football in England, maybe able to get a few bargains for us as well.

Cliffundo Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 He would be a good appointment. Was unlucky against Liverpool the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Absolutely no chance i'd take him. He has done absolutely nothing in management. He's managed two sides, both in dire financial straights(an omen.... :)joking!) and has been sacked in both. I don't know what in his credentials could make anyone think he'd be a good appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 As I have just said on the rumours forum (fifth wheel IMO) he is the worst of the reported candidates IMO. Too many failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what in his credentials could make anyone think he'd be a good appointment He is a very well regarded coach/manager. I'd take him in a heartbeat. Forget his time at Leeds : he was shat on from a great height and it was only a matter of time before he got binned. If Luton hadn't gone into administration they'd be in with a great chnace of promotion this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neave Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm sure he said he was going to leave anyway, didn't he? Is it really a 'sacking' due to poor results/management or merely a cost-cutting measure? I know about 4/5 players have been released to reduce wages etc. For the record, I'd take him if he can pass one test: watch Calum Elliot play football for 45 minutes and hire him on the basis of how quickly after said 45 minutes he says "he will never play for my team again". He loses, say, ?500 a week per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrahim Tall Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 No thanks. Been terrible everywhere he's managed and the "good coach" argument isn't exactly good either, anyone remember our former Chelsea assistant manager? Or Alex Miller's sparkling managerial career? As much as like anyone else i just want a manager, i don't see the point in settling for pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very unfair assessment of his time at Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
