You make some good points, I wouldn’t object to Lee Carsley although it’s a big jump from coaching a group of young, mainly up and coming Premier League hopefuls, once every few months, to managing in the Championship week in week out. It’s the old question if he could do it “on a wet Wednesday night in Stoke” sort of thing. Carsley would be better than a few who’ve been mentioned but there are others available with more experience.

I noticed there was a player for Newcastle last night called Vurnon ? We used to have a player in the 50's early 60's Roy Vernon, A half back if I remember? Welsh international perhaps? I think we sold him to Everton, where most of our best players went in those days! I wonder what happened to him ?

His posts were always worth reading, always sensible and well reasoned. You got the impression he was someone who knew what he was talking about and who had the gift of expressing himself concisely and too the point. I will miss reading his contributions. My thoughts and sympathy are with his family, I offer my condolences. RIP Kelbo (Kelvin)

Aye, poor old Ronnie, a sad day. He was a good un, thinking about him it brings back a few memories. Part of the half back line Clayton, Woods, McGrath - Later Clayton, England, McGrath. Also of curse the last Rover to captain England ? He used to have a newsagent's shop in Darwen at one time. A Rover through and through, I'll spend a few moments paying my respects to him tonight.
