Echo News Chris Iwelumo does not understand Southend United's interest in Henrik Larsson

[Colchester and proud!]

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

Chris is Scottish/Nigerian, the nearest he got to Sweden was playing for Aarhus in Denmark!

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

My therapy ends next month!

Don't Aarhus play 'in the middle of our street' ?
Or is that just Madness to think that ?

I'm confused by how Chris Iwelumo missed this

 

[Kris]

Usual overreaction. Iwelumo is a radio/TV pundit and has appeared on many episodes of the EFL show. He was asked the question and he gave his opinion; that’s what pundits do.

I don’t think anyone minds him answering a question but why the Echo felt it was valid news for them to print is beyond me.

Lots of people mind him answering a question - see umpteen defensive responses to this thread above.
The Echo has hovered close to the line on this managerial appointment issue - the club obviously think this too given their 'new manager won't be chosen by the Echo' comment. Difficult to remain impartial to be fair when you're a fan first and foremost - which CP clearly is.

That's good, so you have you finally seen the light and the error of your ways, to become a Southend United supporter you always secretly wanted to be?

Do you want to change you name now to "Southend and proud!"?

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

we've made the big league lads! Every time any foreign manager gets linked to any job in this country one or more pundits will be making this point. Usually Merson, but good to have a new face doing it.

Just madness

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

Still obsessed with us. Bless.

Maybe the new managers buddies have some real money like Bournemouth and Brentford and turn us into a championship club with a great stadium and decent players (or maybe not ) I dont want to go div 2 its nasty

Er no

CHRIS Iwelumo does not understand Southend United’s interest in Henrik Larsson.

...and who the **** asked you, anyway? What a *****

 

[stewart]

Probably the consortium rumours are true ?

Thats what i think also

 

[stewart]

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.

I dont think either Sol Campbell or Neil Harris can be classified as journeyman managers as both have only managed 1 club each

...and who the **** asked you, anyway? What a *****

Talk Radio asked him. I would imagine a number of other people would say exactly the same. The good news is that nothIng in football is ever certain and whatever happens in the next few months it’s got to be more fun than the last...

 

[Tommy2holes]

Loads of foreign managers in the league's.

Loads of ex players managing big clubs etc.

It's a complete nothing piece from a complete nothing of a former player.
