I am glad rk is not in the picture no more for the job, but he did have talks with mr Desmond and then ruled himself out of the hot seat, to most likely take a second string job at villa this goes to show that the biscuit tin is firmly closed at paradise and are next manger will with no doubt be a yes man with no bigger ambition than too hopefully get down south with the cl on his cv, but what worries me most of all if we don't qualify for the cl for the next few years the men at the top will come out with the same old sh"t money is short and no Europe has ate are funds away, why don't they go for a top euro manger with a lure of a half decent fight fund, I'm not talking going in debt money but I've done my sums and 15 to 20 mill would not bust us, and who knows what can happen, but the fact is you don't get any where without takeing risks, if not now when will the time be right to have a crack at it

Precisely. Speculate to accumulate. Perhaps that mentality is spilling over to the quest for a new manager. Why Keane? As a short term fix for getting bums on seats? If not, the fact we didn't get him is just as bad. Look at Spurs, or most other clubs, they know exactly who they want as next boss and go out and do it.

My fear is that this whole recruitment process has been a farce. I think the powers that be and lennon knew before the end of the season that he was off.

I am concerned that it has been a done deal for Coyle to come in all along and what we have witnessed over the past week or two is our board pretending to aim high to please us fans and then will turn round and give it to Coyle as always intended.

I really hope I am wrong.

if that was the case and Coyle is a free agent , why has he not been appointed already.
