Who's it going to be?

points 1 and 2 are the same written in a different way.

Ah, yes well the whole point was actually just to get number 4 in. I was trying to think of different positives to pad it out a bit. before getting to the pure mercenary bit...

I would be happy if we announced Sol Campbell today.

I’ll take it as we need a manager and quick.

Sky Bet have removed Southend from there next manager list cant place any more bets.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Think most Southend fans would be happy enough with Sol. Those with some affiliation to Spurs will never get used to it though and will be on his back from day one.

 

[Tombstone Blues]

Betfair still have Sol at 4/9

I’m a spurs fan but a southend fan first as that’s where I’m from, I’ll always back sol 100%, good luck to him and hope he does well if appointed

If it's Sol, I won't be impressed and suspect that it will end in tears, but hey ho, I hope it works out.

Oh Chris you tease!

He knows what he's doing :(

Anyways, looks like Sol - excellent news for me.

I'd be quite surprised if Cole joins though. From that interview posted a few days ago, sounds like the gig at Macclesfield just suited everyone as Cole lived nearby and could still work at Man Utd.

Can't see him uprooting his family to come be part of a coaching set up in Essex can you? Be interesting to see who Sol brings in though.

Do they have smartphones in Macclesfield?

I'll be crying with joy when we win promotion to the Premier League too...........

Maybe keep hold of GW in some capacity ?

Seems to be a consensus out there that Cole is not very nice, moody, arrogant and difficult to work with. No thanks, we have enough issues already without creating further division in the camp.

Andy Cole was Sols number 2 at Macclesfield be very surprise if GW stays

Nothing like giving the guy a chance and being optimistic!!

Personally would be happy with this, though I wouldn't have minded AB, I did not want ST back.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

I remember going to an England game at Wembley a few years ago, at the time Sol was a Spurs player and there were Spurs fans in front of me who sang this every time he touched the ball! Assume the PA man for Saturday will be dusting off the James Brown records:

Aside from the fact that I don't like the guys politics and the fact that he puts it out there, I can't see him and Ron not clashing. Hope that I am wrong.

 

[Tommy2holes]

If it is sol then I will back him and give him the chance to work his magic on the team.

I still feel slightly dissapointed it's not Adam and Tilly though. You can't beat the feeling of having one of your own though

I suspect it will end in tears too, I can't think of a single southend manager where it hasn't for some reason or another.
I think he is best placed of the candidates to bring us some joy before it does end in tears though.
