Teddy Sheringham
Heard that one too. Major issue with it was michael 'scum' bridges as assistantQuote:

I haven't asked for my money back yet but if they appoint this plonker as manager I will be.
Ask and you'll get a personal call from your Gypo mateQuote:

Even in a league as simple as the HAL.Quote:

I was - not Jones.Quote:

And giving the role to a complete ****witQuote:

Spot on. Yet us perceived 'Miller fanbois' were apparently sticking our head in the sand because he wasn't winning every game.Quote:

He has basically said to disgruntled fans over Miller's sacking that he will discuss their grievances directly and try and persuade them from throwing in their Memberships. I think he should be applauded for this but you say it is "grandstanding".
Like Jeterpool said "he is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't".
****ing what? lolQuote:

He needs to start a hashtag that way things will be nicely grouped and organised and all his problems will be fixed.Quote:

Bring on the Teddy Bear.
According to the Herald Darren Stewart has also applied for the position. Keen to come back and coach in his hometown. 50 years old like Jones but what has he achieved as a coach?
Fark I would rather just give it to Clackers, at least he has coached at this level with some decent results

I'd like to see Hutcho get the job so I can take my hate for the Jets owner and administration to the next level.
The member has a bit of free time.
Maybe he should have a go.
The members and Craig fosters of world take much greater pleasure critiquing others and telling them how to do their job than they would trying it for themselves.Quote:

Isn't he coaching The Maldives national team now ?Quote:

although there isnt a great deal of time. i believe a sacrifice to results early in the season is preferred to ensure a longer term success.
In other words business as usual for the Jets.Quote:

I assume this one is more fanciful than anything, but having someone like Bridges as the assistant to Jones or whoever the most likely contender for top job is wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, for all the jokes at his expense I don't think Bridges is half as bad as people make out, he would probably do a good job as a 2IC bringing ideas to the table, I wouldn't be upset to see him as an assistant to the right choice of gaffer
Neither bridges nor sheringham haves coached in the top level with success and both have limited experience, surely there no chance
See I think those who believe they are behind the real contenders for the role are going to the Herald and helping them fill column inches, get themselves exposure and have fans get on facebook/twitter/forums saying it'd be a great appointment.Quote:

I'd be looking more favourably towards those keeping out of the spotlight.
Bridges no!
Sound like perfect selections for the Jets.Quote:

wake up sheeple!!!!
Quote from the Herald: "He made his debut as a manager with English League 2 club Stevenage last season but was let go in February after recording just 7 wins from 33 games".......then Bridges: "I have spoken to the boys at Stevenage. They say he has a good tactical mind and his management is superb".....hummmm!!!!
I can see straight through this for what it is. Obviously this is a ploy by Bridges to get an easy-ride in his coaching career on the back of a big name in Sheringham.
Go and do the hard yards at a lower level like every other coach does Bridgey and EARN the right to coach at this level!!!
Your playing career and Teddy's and all the other dribble you mention mean jackshit in regards to how deserving you are of the role.
Is there a lower level than this stinking pile of shit?Quote:
