Southey owl

Roy Keane would be my top candidate for the owls vacancy! Having played and managed at club and national levels with much success his vast experience would bring much needed stability. But would RK accept the vacancy currently being run by a bunch amateurs at boardroom level? I doubt it very much, only if he had assurances if he had full control of transfer dealings etc, which has been a problem in recent years! It's almost five weeks since chairman Chansiri fired Tony Pulis with no appointment in sight! Since taking over from Milan Mandaric the chairman has sacked numerous managers and each time has said " the next one has to be the right one". The problem is he hasn't the faintest idea who is the right one is to choose from! Here's a quote from Chansiri the day he fired TP ..."The performances and results have not been of the level expected since Tony Pulis was appointed. There are also OTHER ISSUES which have had a bearing on this decision". Does anyone know what the OTHER ISSUES are by the way? A few weeks ago there was talk of the EFL investigating SWFC, could it be finances/accounts again? If so there could be another points deduction this season! Now we hear one of Chansiri's advisers Erik Alonso has walked out after having had a disagreement and leaving the club to be run in the hands Chansiri and his other adviser 'Mr Paxo stuffing', god help what next! I mentioned a few weeks ago if Chansiri is still at the helm in 2/3 years time Wednesday would be facing the National League, i've no reason to change my mind, Wednesday are nosediving and are in freefall under Chansiri. Just wonder what Milan Mandaric's thoughts are of the current mess the club now finds itself in!

CHANSIRI............

Yes, DC is a complete disaster. Wish he'd sell up to a football minded consortium ASAP, cos if he's still around in 2 or 3 years time Wednesday will be staring Non League in the face.

Tremendous news-Westwood back in the fold! Hope he's in contention for starting jersey at Deepdale!

Thanks Padders, so it would appear HW slipped through Mr Tuna fish's net, then again there are more "Pulis's on the beach" so to speak! On a more serious note, although TP wasn't my preferred choice i wish him well for all Owls fans!☺

"Head of Recruitment" at SWFC is what has been badly missed since Chansiri took over from Mandaric! Howard Wilkinson would have been my preferred choice, an owl through n through having coached/managed at the very top level! If DC hadn't been badly advised at and since his take-over and had employed HW i'm 100% sure our club would now be in a far better state! Where's Howard ???

Have to agree entirely!

It would suggest the timing of Chansiri sacking Monk during the early international break is imminent of a new manager announcement! Eddie Howe is available and he would be a great signing to sort the awful mess the club now finds itself in!

Thanks Padders, still competing and going strong pal.

Yes, it was exactly where you stated nikki. I remember it quite vividly as i was born just a few yards away directly on Pitsmoor Rd.It was bombed to the ground by Hitlers bombers during early war years whilst targetting the nearby steelworks.
