Rohl needs to walk away for the sake of his career, or else he’s not getting another job until the end of his contract
If Still goes to Southampton that could potentially leave Danny Rohl looking for somewhere, although I’d imagine he’d have interested parties from some in the Bundesliga & maybe even Leicester if they sack Van Nistleroy
I agrree didnt José Mourinho start as a number two to Bobby Robson at Barcelona
I'd like to change my vote from Jonny Heitinga to Ryan Mason. The more I read and hear about him, the more impressed I am. Among all the young and up-and-coming managers, he stands out as the best of the bunch in my opinion.
Don't we own the hotel/pub car park opposite? So could we not re route Halfords lane and make the turn earlier and then get rid of the original top end of the road and then take Halfords lane back?
There are definitely names out there that even if they didn’t have any experience,because of their football brain you would still be interested…
Please note this is all hypothetical and I have no idea if they have ever expressed an interest in management,but Toni Kroos,Luka modric,pirlo,Paul scholes and Gundogan all come across as obvious future managers .
I always thought when we redeveloped the ground we rebuilt the stands in the wrong order.
If we had done the east stand first we could have moved it back and took up some of the car park. Then if the two ends were moved across to meet the new east stand, there would have been plenty of room to build a proper stand on Halfords Lane
I also agree with the first two points. I was once mistaken for a NUFC supporter in a pub because our navy is so dark, and that's the shade I want! And that pink was just appalling.
However my favourite away kit (and I do like the green and yellow) was our black one when T Mobile were our sponsors.

Can you explain the rationale behind Heitinga? I mean, other than him being part of title winning coaching team, which is good, I’m just curious to know more.
I’d be happy with any of those that you’ve mentioned. Mousinho perhaps has little experience but the experience he does have is good so far.
Saw a name on the odds list that seemed interesting for no apparent reason to me and I feel only Smethdan may be able to advise on why…
Thiago Motta.
Anyway moving on from connotations of the word Motta…he was at Bologna 22-24 and seemed to do fairly well there. Went to Juventus, less so. But the Bologna link interesting. Currently sitting at 25/1 so nothing to suggest he’s coming, just haven’t seen the name before.
There are several reasons why I advance the argument of a New Ground and maybe we don't have to move further than across the Halfords or as mentioned earlier if we can acquire other land on the east side of the ground. The point needs to viewed in the context of Lepkowski's article.
His gripe is that the club should be doing more to engage fans and grow the fan base which has the obvious benefits in terms of our financial strength. I am broadly sympathetic with the argument although personally immune from the lure of corporate hospitality or extending my matchday experience but each to their own.
My view is that if you really want to galvanise the club and take everyone including it would seem the fans out of their comfort zone then nothing would do that quite like getting new and significantly larger stadium I plucked an ambitious number out of the air 40,000 seemed to do the trick. Filling it is a challenge unlike filling 26,000. It completely changes the landscape.
I agree with those who point out it could be the biggest of white elephants, if we are marooned in the Championship. However the PSR regulations cap what Bilkul can spend on players but they do not cap what they can spend on the stadium. In the longer term an investment in our facilities will give us more money in the future.
There are of course limits to what Bilkul may be willing or able to spend. They are not obliged to spend anything. I wouldn't mind if they didn't after all it isn't my money. However an ambitious stadium project is in itself a statement of intent it signals to fans and potential fans that this is different this is bigger.
Build it and they will come.
