Alan Mullery tells it as a great story. I sat next to him in Corporate when Fulham hammered us (at QPR) many years ago.

Even though he's not coming, I'm not sure why so many people have a downer on him. Here's his recent record:

2015-16: Sheff Wed - finished 6th but lost in play-off final
2016-17: Sheff Wed - finished 4th but lost in play-offs
2017-18: Swansea - took over from Clement mid-season, beat Liverpool and Arsenal in consecutive games but relegated in the end
2019-20: Rio Ave - achieved club's highest ever league position and qualified for Europa League
2020-21: Braga - finished 4th, qualified for Europa League, won Portuguese equivalent of FA Cup and got to League Cup final
2021-22: Braga - reached quarter-finals of Europa League, finished 4th in the league and qualified for Europa League again

If people regard the above as not being good enough, then I fear they're going to be sorely disappointed by whoever we do appoint!

I wouldn't have been averse to him. A more creative appointment than Spud.

One of the ‘ITKs’ on twitter saying we wanted him to work with some of the current back room staff, which if true will hold us back. No decent manager with his own ideas would happily accept having coaches forced upon him. And even more stupid when you consider how many coaches Bruce was allowed to bring with him

I saw Nobby Stiles in Manc with Shilton and John Barnes a few years ago at The Lowry. He wasn't very complementary and said how good Steve Bull was.

Agreed, like it or not you have to give head coaches their choice of staff. You can't expect them to be able to do the job with one arm tied behind their back.
