And wouldn't that be absolutely superb

I am quivering with the anticipation of just such a missive.

He's on the naughty step at present.

I don't like that either! Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard were appointed into top manager jobs despite having zero experience purely because they were famous footballers. I agree that having played professional football is an advantage for a manager but there is no reason why being a great footballer should mean that you are a great or even a good manager. Two words: Sol Campbell.

If a female manager had had success at non-league level and then repeated that through Divisions 4 and 3 then absolutely we should consider them. I'm sure that will come about in the nearish future but until the day when we're appointing a female manager on pure merit then no, it would be a mixture of an enormous gamble and a publicity stunt worthy of the Uri Geller / Michael Jackson era at Exeter.

Gotta be...

Congratulations Phantom, the ideal person for it.

I will be running onto the pitch naked shouting "Bring back Nigel!". You will be able to recognise me because I will be carrying a copy of the Evening Standard.

Apparently his message of peace is : "Stop fighting or I'll effing chin the lot of you, come on, COME ON THEN!!!!".

QPR are delighted to announce the appointment of Martí Cifuentes as the club’s new head coach. The 41-year-old Spaniard arrives from Swedish top-flight side Hammarby, where he has been for the past two years. QPR CEO Lee Hoos said: “We are delighted to bring Martí in and I would firstly like to thank Hammarby for being fantastic to deal with throughout the process https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/2023/october/30/marti-cifuentes-appointed/ Warnock still available then, would be nice.

Going back to the OP, tomorrow's Sound of the City has become a "must listen".

It's been so long since I've listened to 606 that I've forgotten that they were the two originals, and yes they were excellent as you say. It was genuinely shocking for me to hear it tonight for maybe the first time this century, it was amateurish and lacking in the general interest football stories which the two Dannys did so well. The best I can say about it is that it reinforces for me just how good Geoff Twentyman was at his job. How come he was on a local station and these halfwits go out nationally?

It's really poor isn't it? This weekend Gareth Ainsworth, brief mention, Joey Barton, mentioned in the introduction bracketed with NP, and NP have been sacked. Two of those are Championship managers, yet about an hour of this programme has been about Man United and City and these major changes have been barely mentioned. It's also incredibly cliquey. It will be at least another twenty years before I listen again. Out of reactions for today. Edit: FFS, last call yet another Man City fan saying the same thing for the tenth time.

Like @bcfc01 it's probably twenty years since I last listening to 606 and it's 95% about the top half of the premiership which isn't how I remember it. About ten minutes left, come on KITR.

And then spent the next seven hours in the pub!

@Kid in the Riot is "Cider" is he? TBF he's posher than I imagined him to be.

Terrible news.

They're all Joey Barton. He'll keep them ticking along for a while then if Nigel leaves there will be a deluge of posts from them saying that Barton is the best option.

Warnock incoming according to The Telegraph.

With a very similar squad Beale managed to get a run of decent performances out of the players. Gareth is an enthusiastic manager who succeeds by firing up the players but simply doesn't has the tactical ability for the Championship, QPR has had the odd good game under him but in the majority they have been entirely outplayed and out thought. The board has given him as long as they realistically could to turn it around, before relegation becomes guaranteed, and there have been no signs of that turnaround happening.

I have no idea but potentially it could be used to pay off the third party debt incurred in rebuilding the ground and this would mean a permanent improvement to the annual result, helping with FFP and if course making the club more valuable if it was to be sold. Pure guess, the Lansdowns could well have entirely different intentions.

Billy Davies is available and still only 59. He sounds an ideal candidate to maintain Barton's legacy. Not talking to the media, sacking long serving staff, employing personal cronies. Yep, all very Bartonesque. Davies' second spell [at Nottingham Forest] proved to be a controversial and damaging one.[9] He dismissed long-serving club staff without explanation, shouted at a photographer taking photos for the club's matchday programme after a match at Millwall, banned journalists as part of a "near media blackout", and employed his cousin, Jim Price, a suspended solicitor, as his closest advisor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Davies And he's keen to return to management, this from last month. BILLY DAVIES wants a return to football management — and is keen on a job in England. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23987963/billy-davies-management-return-forest-derby/

And vice versa, it's pantomime stuff and everyone enjoys it.

If it's the tea lady who spotted Nigel Martyn then she could do a decent job. Vi Harris 18/1
