Oscar Garcia linked as per sky at 20:08 not sure about this as didn't he have health issues?

Also at 18:28 Curbs doesn't rule himself out

[rusty shackleford]

Has Danny Murphy been on radio yet flapping his gums about something being rotten at the club? Must be due any minute

[Luffy86]

Hopefully we get Brendan Rogers... Would be a massive coup for us!!

[snarks]

If the club go up and coming, I wouldn't mind justin Edinburgh, got Newport back into the football league and now doing well at his current club

[westcliff white]

Not sure our ground is big enough for his ego

Brightons Argus newspaper also reporting us being linked to Garcia with sources close to him saying that he is under consideration.He prefers title of head coach to manager and has good credentials  having led Brighton to semi final playoffs in 13/14 season.He has already turned down offers this season to manage two Championship clubs as he would need convincing that wherever he goes he would have major say in areas such as player recruitment.

He won't get that as head coach...

[YankeeJim]

I'm sure any coach, manager or OPS (official player selector) will negotiate not only wages but duties as well. The title is insignificant. If we could get Moyes, I'd be happy to call him Sir David or Princess Lighthouse (if he does take advantage of that chiffon).

Bowyer sacked at Blackburn another club looking for a manager

And Lambert 1/5 to get the job there.

Looks like we can cross him off the list.

[Samsara]

Hopefully we get Brendan Rogers... Would be a massive coup for us!!

I'd like to see it. He has solid championship experience and plays attractive football. I think he'd fit well with us.

Former Newcastle United boss John Carver has thrown his hat into the ring the vacant manager's job at Fulham, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

I have two words for that NO THANKS

That's a much nicer two words than I would use

On Talksport breakfast show Alan Brazil asked Co host Stuart Pearce about the fulham and Qpr jobs.

Alan said "these are two great clubs, sorry to ask Stuart but would you be interested in these jobs?"

Stuart's response "Yes both great clubs and the fulham one definitely interests me"  :58:  090.gif

Although scary talk it was nice hearing him be so much keener on us. Always nice to be complimented in that way but sorry Stuart, I'm hoping for a stronger candidate

[westcliff white]

Ditto Danny, Pearce has a 3-6 month impact and thats it

[Chutney]

if its John Carver we may as well start recruiting for league 1 now.

Oscar Garcia now being tipped too.

I'd be happy with him. He did well at both Watford and Brighton right? Got them both into the play-offs anyway.

What was his ill-health about?

[Burt]

He has a heart condition and the medical advice was to avoid putting himself in stressful situations, which is why he quit Watford.

Given everything here is a bed of fluffy cotton-wool and as stress-free as could be, I am sure he would be a great appointment  :HD: :dft011:

He was treated for 'minor chest pains'.

Don't think they got to the playoffs under Garcia, but I could be wrong. Wasn't their last playoffs the losing semi v palace under poyet?
.
I did see Brighton a bit under Garcia and they seemed very organised and good going forward too. I'd be happy with him, though the heart condition is a worry.
