Yes I did on a couple of occasions, now I could pretend to be itk but all I did was think decent manager, managing a pretty crap squad and getting decent results with them. We should be considering him. That’s all the alleged ITK’s do, fugging guess.
If it did happen I shall set up a Twatter account and call myself Baggie Boop
His unfancied Blackburn team are a point behind Albion with a game in hand. Last season his unfancied blues beat us to leapfrog us into 4th place (before he was inexplicably sacked). He certainly deserves a go at a better run club but his much mentioned (by his own fans wherever he goes) unadventurous approach would be a minus with many.
But in his defence, he’s probably having to be unadventurous due to the resources he has available, who is to say that with better players available he would still take the same approach.
Swansea have been keen to appoint him several times due to the reputation he built as a coach and for playing a certain way, and his Kiddy team were ridiculed for their Tika-Taka in non-league.
Eustace seems to be a very well regarded coach with a pragmatic approach, something we probably need.

Id also add that in both his spells at Blues and Blackburn, the big clubs have been confident letting younger players join his sides on loan. We could really do with that reputation.

And he has had both teams around the play-offs. He knows Midlands football and the history of our club. He would be my choice.

Eustace would come as well.
Wants to be in the midlands ideally.
Nearly got Stoke job last time round.
Go get him I say for all the reasons given above on this thread

Is Eustace the next Williams and it’s agent or twitter talk. I have no idea but he fits the Nester mould.
As I’ve said before I will get behind anyone who Patel brings in, he gets my backing doing a great job behind the scenes.
I’m waiting until it’s Announced on the website before I believe it.

No it’s just pretend ITK’s on Twatter pretending they know something because it’s a bit of a no brainer he would be linked. Don’t read anymore into it, imo.

Eustace would be a good appt IMO

I’ve not seen any links to Eustace at all. I’m simply saying he’d be a decent shout.
