SCP is a great man manager but very poor tactician.

Holloway and Warnock are out of work and great at managing Championship teams.

Both ex palace managers! That wouldnt go down well ;-)

Don't forget also Kap (and Jonny K and others) that we are almost unique in the Division in running down the contracts of the manager and so many players. That doesn't show up in the wage bill comparison, but it sure as hell shows up in club morale.

I have no idea what other clubs are doing in terms of their mangers and players contracts, but regardless, now we are at the door of signing pre contract agreements with other clubs, I can see those players that are marketable having their eyes away from the club as they look to secure an income for their family from July,based on contracts not on hope. And those players who are not easily marketed by their agents playing under the stress of forthcoming unemployment.

It is going to be very hard for any manager to motivate the players under these circumstances.

CP maybe loyal to the players,but the players are unlikely to be loyal to the club.

Thanks very much but i'll be 27 and its on Sunday 

He will be England's first back manager - it will be for one game as caretaker when Southgate gets the boot / resigns.
