    could have been worse you could have given sven "I won one italian championship about 20 years ago and done F all since" ericson loads of money and he could sign a load of overpaid has beens and never beens and pay them 30k a week.

    Could be good news on its way in t'morning!

    Quite a few rumours that he has been sacked. Including a certain poster on our fans forum, who is believed to be Gary Johnson's brother, starting a new thread "Bye".

    And wrote this message...

    "It's been fun, kind of.

    Signing off.

    X"

    So il be getting up extra early and switching on SSN, actually i'll prob hear it first on twitter.

    No thanks!

    Colin Calderwood is the odds on favourite. He opened at 16/1 and is now 8/11 last time i checked.

    But tbf this price probably only reflects the amount of our fans who have put money on him because they want him to come back and get us promoted like he did last time.

    I wouldn't mind having him back. We kept a club record number of clean sheets in our last promotion season with him, so he'll certainly make us more solid.

    Would love Sean O'Driscoll, but no chance he'll come to us really.

    I wouldn't mind seeing an up and coming guy from non-league Gateshead, Ian Bogie, who is doing one hell of a job there.

    Nicky Forster 1/6 to be next manager.

    Im undecided on whether this will be good.

    I'd still prefer Calderwood back, he's drifted to 5/2 now.

    Splashies, as a Leicester fan who also confidently put money on Leicester and Northampton to win their leagues only to see things, how shall we put it...not go according to plan (!) I hope you get the new manager you want.

    After the muppets we were linked with after Sven's departure, I'm delighted Pearson's back and have got my rose coloured glasses firmly back in place and think we'll be up towards the top again fairly soon - hope you are too!

    yeh good to see Pearson back with you.

    Anyone we get will be better than Gary Johnson. I've still get a bet on both of us to win promotion. We are currently 13 points off playoffs so the new manager will need a fast start :)

    Today was just typical of how of season has gone (although even more exagerrated), we started pretty well. They scored a fluked 25 deflected yarder and before we knew it, we were 3-0 down through poor defending.

    Came out 2nd half and absolutely battered them for 15 minutes, managed to pull a goal back. We carried on piling forward but then hit on the break (several times) and hence the 7-2 result.

    Tbf, Shrewsbury are the best team iv seen this season in League 2.

    Calderwood couldnt even take a good Hibs side and win games. Insisted on selling half their players. I know he has a good record at Northampton and wish the best to him, but i really dont think that its a great idea taking him on atm.

    I think Calderwood is now pretty much nailed on to be Chris Hughton's No.2 at Birmingham.

    Looks like its gonna be Nicky Forster for us, which will hopefully turn out well.

    Eion Jess good player in his time dont know about his Backroom career though.

    Aidy Boothroyd has to be a good shout. Dont know about the other 2 tho.

    Yeh we had him in our 2005 promotion winning team. Quite a few people are bigging him up to be a decent manager. If he does get the job, then he'll probably work with an experienced director of football. This is the set-up we had last time we were successful with Calderwood/Deehan.

    Eion Jess has to be a good manager imo. Some of the manager he learned from Jim Jefferies as a noteable one being one of the best Scottish managers in the last 20 years, obv over-shadowed by the sucsess of Walter Smith and Alex Fergusson. But i rekon very few have done better with Smaller clubs and smaller budgets.

    Do you know much on Sean O'Driscoll so i can state an opinion please?

    O'Driscoll would do a cracking job if you get him. I still can't understand why Donny got rid of him tbh.

    Saw the earlier post listing Marcus Law as a possible contender for the Northampton job. I first came across him when he was manager of Evo-Stik side Quorn and since then he has been successful with Barwell in the Midland Alliance which led him to land the Kettering job before he joined Tamworth where he is now in the Conference.
    I imagine it must be his success with a pretty poor Kettering team which has put him on the radar of the Northampton hierachy. It would be a bold move to appoint him, but it would be nice to see a non-league manaher given a chance to join the Football League managerial merry-go-round.

    Yeh think his work at Kettering was noted by our chairman. If he gets the job then he will almost certainly work with a director of football.

    We should hopefully know sometime next week, although the chairman says he still has got 10 people on his shortlist...not exactly a shortlist is it!!
