Mind your own business chris....


And also. Wade through 700 spammy clickbait banner adverts and answer a question to read this article?

I know you need ad revenue in this day and age but your website is absurd.

The Chairman's decision-making will take a bit of explaining. There were very real alternatives to Henrik Larrson, who has an average managerial record in Sweden, and will be more expensive than many of the alternatives in the UK with stronger managerial credentials in Division 1.

Probably the consortium rumours are true ?

The only thing Chris knows is how to miss a goal from two yards for Scotland ?

 

[OldBlueLady]

Who cares? Not very relevant, is it?

I don’t understand Chris Iwelumo’s interest in Southend United’s interest in Henrik Larsson.

**** off Iwelumo!

Ha another pointless story from the Echo In the absence of any real news or decent journalism.

 

[Firestorm]

he is ex colu , still bearing a grudge against the one team in Essex

I love the irony ( not that he meant it), quoting Campbell as an example of a manager we should take on and in the same breath saying we shouldn’t take on anyone with no experience of the league.
Can someone remind him of Campbell’s league 2 experience before taking on Macclesfield?

**** off Iwelumo!

Still thinking how he missed an open goal for Scotland

I just can’t understand why Chris Phillips thought talking to him was in any way relevant to anything.

I think Iwelumo is Swedish (half swede) or once played in Sweden. That is why he is uniquely qualified to offer "perspective".

From the article....."But, talking on Talksport, Iwelumo felt Blues would be better off looking elsewhere. " CP just picking up on what was said elsewhere. He didn't talk to Iwelumo. I guess everyone is allowed to have an opinion. Whether that opinion counts for anything is another matter...and in this case I don't think it does.

His father is Nigerian and mother Scottish. He played in Denmark and Germany early in his career but I don't think he ever played in Sweden. Having said which I agree with what he is saying on this subject.

I predict the managerial situation at Southend will soon push Brexit off the front pages.

Perhaps the delay is Ron checking if they’ll both pass any points based immigration system post Brexit ?

 

[South Bank Hank]

In fairness, if Chris Iwelumo had said “it’s none of my business” when asked the question, Talksport might not be in a major hurry to invite him back. They might want to look at the inconsistency of his answer and draw the same conclusion but that’s not the point.

 

[MK Shrimper]

I don't understand why people would chose to support Col Ewe Chris. I imagine it's a form of mental illness.

Chris Iwelumo obviously has nothing better to talk about. Sounds like he is saying we should employ one of the many managers who exist in League 1 & 2 and never progress further.
I think taking a punt on someone and something different is a gamble, but it's a gamble worth taking.

Sorry Chris, if we stick with the journeyman managers who seem to move around from club to club then we will not move forward.
