Karel Fraeye 1.25 Malky Mackay 4.00 Tim Sherwood 19.00 Alan Curbishley 21.00 Gus Poyet 21.00 Ian Holloway 21.00 Lee Clark 21.00 Nigel Clough 21.00 Nigel Pearson 21.00 Paolo Di Canio 21.00 Stuart Pearce 21.00 Jason Euell 23.00 Brian McDermott 26.00 Chris Powell 26.00 Gareth Ainsworth 26.00 John Carver 26.00 Juan Muniz 26.00 Paul Dickov 26.00 Paul Jewell 26.00 Paul Lambert 26.00 Sean O'Driscoll 26.00 Uwe Rosler 26.00 Ivan Vukomanovic 29.00 Avram Grant 34.00 Billy Davies 34.00 Dave Jones 34.00 Les Ferdinand 34.00 Paul Ince 34.00 Rob Lee 34.00 Tony Adams 34.00 Derek McInnes 41.00 Alan Pardew 51.00 Brendan Rodgers
Looking at this list on sky bet the ones that would interest me are Lambert and O'Driscoll.
Up until 26.00 I thought that was what hour each applicant was going in for their interview today. Unless RD and KM have reinvented time and there are 51 hours in the day
people are saying this is going to be like phil parkinson all over again, it feels worse, like Les Reed all over again. Respected coach while he was here but awful record as manager. Let's hope the consequences aren't the same.
It's actually Nero but I get your point about it just being another faceless member of the network, illustrated via your whimsical choice of the wrong emperor.
Kristof Teurreur (Belgian Journalist) saying he's been appointed. I've followed him for a while and he seems to get most things Belgian related correct.
Don't agree with not turning up at the valley, more so people who go occasionally, or hardly ever but still feel the need to post on here. Not digging out fans who live X miles away, . Better option would be turn up and have organised stay in concourses for 5/10mins of game.
So it was confirmed by the Belgian pub team he currently manages, and Dutch Wikipedia- what other media outlets will confirm his appointment before our Official Site get round to it ?

Wouldn't be surprised if Malky was touted. Then he saw us today and said no twat could fix our sorry club at this moment on time!
A pretty good shout. Personally I think it's so that KM can point to other candidates being considered ("Malky was there at her invitation") before the appointment of another Belgian patsy Fraeye
If Fraeye has the job and if it was offered to McKay who declined I would imagine his reasons for doing so would have been the uncertainty about who would find and sign new players rather than anything specific to the current squad or money. Both Riga and Luzon appear to have wanted more freedom in this respect.
Could be once bitten twice shy. Fraeye could be another Les Reed: good coach but zero management (or playing) experience. Another ominous coincidence would be that Dowie got removed at about this stage in 2006 and the club then messed about with an unsuitable replacement for 7 fatal games until sorting out a proper new manager in late December. Are we repeating this?

All we can do is hope for the best. What else do we have?
We could boycott but that wouldn't help anything.
All we have is to give the bloke a chance but if it's all going tits up after 10 games or so then start doing whatever is necessary. Fan power.
I can't really see any other constructive approach at this time if he is appointed.

Fraeye confirms it himself in this interview from what I can gather... If anyone on here speaks Dutch then a translation would be much appreciated!
