Looks like hes enjoying his time off, but some beef on.

Doing some work as a Phil Mitchell lookalike

Not many takers...

I just don't see a natural landing spot for him. I had expected him to maybe take the Rangers job, but they went for a more "progressive" hipster choice.....

Would he maybe rock up at a "change of plan time" Sunderland, Wolves or Leeds maybe? I'm not sure.

He's happy to put out fires. He ain't bothered about progressing as a modern day coach anymore. He's done it, worn the t-shirt and the game's moved on. He doesn't need it financially or want it, which is fair enough at his age. I get the impression if he never got a manager's job again it wouldn't bother him.

I'm not sure he fancies himself as an Allardyce or a Dave Bassett. He would probably see himself in a similar vein to Amorim as needing a good pre-season to really drill his ideas into his players.....

Needs to work that off!

Because he never got pre-seasons in his previous job...

He wouldn't if brought in to fire fight mid-season........

I swear some people just deliberately miss the point on this board.....

I missed the point because I didn't clock you were on about his next job. Honest misunderstanding.

I bet he'll miss it the longer he's out of action and want a challenge again.
