Hi Ed apart from Hockaday and Gary Mac who is the Third man if it ain't Houghton? lol please don't tell me its Harry Lime?

{Ed013's Note - Lucas the kop cat ;-) OK then, Steve Clarke is who I heard}

Ok cheers Ed I was hoping it would be Mackay. Wouldn't mind Gary Mac back though MOT

{Ed013's Note - I also heard that Nigel Gibbs has also been considered for the job}}

Eammon Dolan, 3/1 2nd fav?

Gibbs should go up to MC & say "one game one win, 5 goals, nuff said"
Deserves a shot @ it IMO

The 3 British managers meeting Cellino tomorrow are:Chris Hughton, Dave Hockaday and Gary McAllister.
LuFC

Phil Hay says Hughton is not the third one

I have but what I mean is we need a manager not a coach who has to work with players cellino decides to bring in I bet this COACH. Doesn't last long whoever he is

06 Jun 2014 18:54:52
Gary McAllister, Steve Clarke & Chris Hughton (if the rumours are to be believed).
Where's the 'D'?

Leeds to appoint Chris houghton as manager before the weekend MOT

Really? Thought Cellino wanted a head coach not a manager.

MC doesn't want a manager, he wants a COACH.

just renewed my gold membership and iy states you recive a free 2014/15 gold away shirt. checked on the superstore and that's the only replica shirt available but still has ENTERPRISE INSURANCE on the front of it. does this mean were stuck with it for another season?

Gary Macallister would be awesome to have him back as manager, he never got a chance when Bates was owner IMO.

I have to agree that macca was not given a chance under bates but if I had to choose between Gary and Clarke I think Clarke could be a better coach as he was at the forefront of the Chelsea side and although they had the big names it's about the way they play football and I don't buy into the chelae bit as we did wise and bates after all he is a Geordie

Have been checking site to renew for the last few weeks, membership for next season was not on sale. I was going to post if anyone knew when it would be, it was not available on Wednesday, I will try again .

Lets Hope not! but we normally play the last game of the season in the new strip
I have a horrid feeling we are stuck with Enterpwise for another year Eds what do you say?

{Ed013's Note - To be honest I am not sure, it depends on the contract and whether they can settle their differences}

Don't think any of the last 4 managers really got a chance did they?

Malaga loanee Bart powlouski( forgive the spelling) is available from his parent club for around £650,000, young quick very skillfull winger/attacking midfield could be a good player for us in my opinion. Well worth a punt.

Hasnt Poyett signed a new contract with Sunderland and Glen is in the USA with TV.

I think Hockaday was favourite until it got out, if it was him that leaked it then MC might feel he cannot trust him. Leaving the door open for Gary Mac as coach and Nicola Salerno as director of football. His current role with Cagliari.

The sooner it is sorted the better to get some new talent in for next season.

Adam Pope reporting Gary Mac is one of the coaches Cellino is meeting tomorrow. i'd happily have him back. We played some great football under him. Granted our defence was awful at times but he was looking to sign defenders just before he was sacked. Also brought us Snoddy and Becchio whilst giving Howson and Delph a step up to the first time. Maybe he would suit the job with a sporting director working with him.

Of course I would like to see a major signing for coach but I would also be happy with Gary Mc he knows what LUFC is all about think with some decent signings he could do well.

But no matter who it is I will give 100% support for the guy. No point bitchin and moaning it is what it is and bitchin won't change it.

For the style of coaching system MC appears to want to introduce and with his vector set only on English which surely has to mean British I'd say Glenn Hoddle is the correct choice. However, if money wasn't an issue, British not a criteria and a certain north east club relegated from the PL, Gus Poyet all day long. One day. Go for Hoddle MC. He will attract a better class of player too.

Sunderland did not get relegated and Hoddle is English.

06 Jun 2014 08:27:57
I agree that Hoddle would be great as a coach. He plays attractive football, seems to have shaken off his 'weird' side and is a big enough name to help attract good quality players. The only question is whether he would be comfortable working in the purely coaching role on offer at LUFC.

It's HODDLE for me any day.
