It's a Irish ting mate
Bet Kilbane wants Staunton as gaffer then knowing thisboth could abuse fans together!
I remember someone saying it was a two horse race. Mmmm
When did Eric Black manage a football club?
be careful what you wish for. As assistant most recently to Steve Bruce at various clubs he has failed to make a mark with him.
If Black is this the greatest thing since sliced bread then why isn't he managing a decent team after all these years ?
He's been waiting for this opportunity to come up? Oh hang on, he's had countless chances before now to take up the chance!
I would like to see him back, but can NEVER see it happening. Not ever!
Yea I don't think he really wants to be a manager, seems to prefer being in the backroom staffIf Black is this the greatest thing since sliced bread then why isn't he managing a decent team after all these years ?
Not true. He had a distinguished record, albeit it in fewer games.
He'd earned the points capital to have a lean spell. The record for the last seven games was W2 D1 L4. Even in the leanest part of his tenure he could claim a point a game with a +1 goal difference. And considering that his final game saw us spank Gillingham 5-2 away from home, it seems wrong to say the bubble had burst. Perhaps in need of some refinement.
If you win half your games it is good enough for seventh or eighth place, which really would have been something with the squad he had.

Its funny how his record for the last 8 games was W2 D1 L5 but you missed off the defeat to make him look better.
A wild re-positioning of the argument. Nobody is saying he is "the greatest thing since sliced bread", but it is unquestionable that he was one of the most effective managers we've had since relegation. What good reason is there not to welcome such a person back?
As for his lack of managerial posts, he seemed to prefer the security of the Steve Bruce gravy train, especially considering as he didn't have to initially uproot from the midlands. Nothing wrong with that.
So if thats the case he obviously lacks ambition and / or confidence in ihis own ability. we don't need that type of person we need a real leader more than ever
No I didn't. I was responding to your post which said 'W1 D1 L5', which adds up to seven games. I posted the correct results for the last seven games, which were W2 D1 L4.
Yes but I also stated that he then won his next 2 games. I was over generous as you rightly pointed out, he was not in charge for the last game of the season and so actually only won 1 more game.
Intangibles. I'm not sure why you'd choose intangibles over an actual record at the club that is better than most.
we need an out and out winner and if he is content to sit behind another manager for so many years, that tells me he is not that man
That didn't apply though when the last manager had showed zero interest in the role more than a decade after he retired?
