I appreciate that looking at the odds for new managers is no way of finding any certainty as to who will get the job, but I see that Jody Morris is 3/1 second favourite at the moment - how would you feel about him coming here? Maybe I should not think like this, but I can’t help but remember how he treated us in 2003 when he pissed off to sign for Leeds on the night before he was supposed to be confirming his transfer here - I wouldn’t want him here.
he did the same to Blackburn if I remember correctlyQuote:

I don't care too much about 2003 to be honest, not convinced someone so inexperienced is the answer but at this stage I'd take anyone but an old football dinosaur. Wasn't he linked with Swansea at one point?
That wouldn't bother me, Bob. I'd look at it another way, he makes decisions based on what's best for him, that can be a positive trait in the world of football.Quote:

Put it this way, if I was in a position to offer him the City job, I’d be very reluctant to do so because I’d have no confidence that he would be in it for the long haul.Quote:

If we are looking at assistant managers...I'd prefer Eddie Newton.
We were a newly promoted club who hadn't played at the championship level for 20 years. Leeds had been in the champions league semi final a year or 2 previously. It may have hurt us but it was a no brainer for him at the time. And it would all have been done via his agents etc..... It happens. Plus I am sure he has a different side to the story to the biased one we have all heard. Would be ridiculous to hold that against him.Quote:

Loyalty and football tend not to go hand in hand ,if he's at Chelsea he has both experience of good football and many contacts, and knowledge of some very good prospects, perhaps we should grab a coach like that just for what he may bring us .
Tough midfielder,still turns out in veterans league perhaps player manager 🤔
The bigger question is, would he want us .
Anyways , perhaps one R Morison is the better option
I'm not sure Ravel Morrison is the answerQuote:

Please give NO
I’m sure Morris can get a few young decent Chelsea players here if he came, we never seem to get managers who have any connections apart from neil with sol and junior….
