Not necessarily my preferred candidate, but (as I understand it) he was offered the job once before and I think he's available after being relieved of his duties at Middlesbrough.
As I understand it he was asked if he would be interested, he said yes, but they decided to go with Wilson instead.
You're getting confused with when we appointed Flicker. He said yes, we battered Leeds, Flicker got the job, the rest is history.
Look North just said Mark Burton to take charge on Saturday , so I'm going for him until end of season
