Quite a few on here and the other board were keen for us to appoint Michael Flynn after NW left. I have to say that I was not one of them. Since when did managing a lower league side who were not ripping up their division at the time put him in the frame to manage us ? They've just had their first league win since October, so for us I think, it was a lucky escape. As for Harris, who knows? My gut feeling is not overly positive but he has to be given a fair crack of the whip.

What's happened to that other shining beacon of a manager, Eddie Howe ? He was the next England manager in waiting at one stage. I will be rather surprised if he gets Bournemouth out of their current predicament although being on the top manager's merry-go-round (a la Pardew, Hodgson, Bruce etc), expect him to find a plum job even if he gets the elbow by the cherries.......
