    ...can you imagine the embarrassment of us trying to attract one of them?

    "Can I see the business plan?"
    "The what?"
    "Do you have any projections for the next five years?"
    "What?"
    "Can I see the marketing strategy?"
    "Marketing what now?"
    "Will I have any money to spend?"
    "oh yes, plenty of money - twenty five, maybe fifty grand"

    Just being objective - we're saying we need an established man - I can't see on earth why an established experienced manager would come to us. We're a badly run club that's staring at relegation, with no aspirations, no money, and we're not even likely to offer the manager a particularly good package.

    It'll be another gamble on someone from a lower league background who will be described as exciting, young and promising.

    Give over any manager asks only two questions 'how much you offering' and 'how much do I get when I'm sacked'

    Thing is, there are 92 league clubs and many more than 92 managers, ex-managers and wannabe managers. We will not be short of willing and able candidates, I'm somewhat worried about the club's ability to make the right decision.

    That would be about right - we would choose he man who asked those questions and nowt else.
