Mmm...someone posted this on Twitter:

Nick Barmby has signed a three year deal and will bring Dean Windass as his number two. #pusb #ccfc

It must be bollocks as surely they haven't sifted through those 40 "Quality" CVs yet!:facepalm:

Wouldn't mind him at all!

torchomatic · Feb 24, 2013

Oh God. Not sure about that one.

ThisManHere · Feb 24, 2013

What the space you have posted on? I'd get bored.

Sky Blue Spud · Feb 24, 2013

Unproven, no thanks

SlowerThanPlatt · Feb 24, 2013

Fucking hell. We're not in the Premiership anymore. He has managed in the Championship before and done a good job at Hull.

Jackoskyblue · Feb 24, 2013

I'd go for him, hadnt even thought about him. He now has my vote

Marty · Feb 24, 2013

40% win ratio according to his Wiki. Whats his playing style like?

CJparker · Feb 24, 2013

Meh...he did get sacked by Hull, but was this more due to a row with the board?

Delboycov · Feb 24, 2013

Was a manager for about 6 months wasn't he before getting sacked? Would prefer Phil Brown who has got more experience and achieved greater success....and I don't want Phil Brown at all.

Flying Fokker · Feb 24, 2013

Hmm, Dean Windass as player coach. Someone with a bit of grit

Flying Fokker · Feb 24, 2013

33/1 skybet

ampthill_sba · Feb 24, 2013

Who has tweeted it originally?

kg82 · Feb 24, 2013

Don't think he'd be bad. Hull were awful when he took over, from what I remember. He got them playing well. Wasn't sacked for footballing reasons.

Perryccfc · Feb 24, 2013

Now 6/1 with skybet so obviously someone has lumped

WillieStanley · Feb 24, 2013

He didn't leave them in too bad a shape I seem to remember? Worth a shout!

I'll answer my own Q: Danny S White says so...

He also says that Elliott has handed in a transfer request and will sign for PNE in the summer.

The rest of his feed doesn't fill me with confidence about his insider credentials, although if we did end up with Barmby he could nail me with 'apologises please?' #muppett'

Blimey they react rapidly to betting patterns...

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Feb 24, 2013

Very inexperienced, started off well at Hull but then it went bad. He was sacked for comments about the board (they weren't even bad) but I seem to remember the results had already dried up for him by then. He was manager when we beat them 2-0 away last season.

Not someone I would get over excited by but I would prefer him over Brown and the usual dross

Went through that and when I went to place a bet on Barmby it was offering 2/1...

Didn't he "ask for assurances", but those assurances weren't met?

I remember listening to the interview, he literally said something like if the club wants to move forward the owners need to invest in the playing squad and he was sacked for it.

Thorns rant at the end of last season was worse

I did think about him before. Think he may be alright

About time we went for a short fair haired northern striker.

He was a midfielder mate

Why would he hand in a transfer request when he will be out of contract anyway?

Bullshit again.... Lol

WestEndAgro · Feb 24, 2013

Fuck NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 24, 2013

Before we get carried away... Like all potential managers who want to the job will attend games up until their interview so that they can impress and get an idea of the team, weaknesses and strengths etc. all part of research.

Last few games home and away there have been a host of out of work managers watching Coventry because they have applied for the job.

Like with Robins last year we didn't have a clue.

Yes fair comment just behind the front two was his best position

Diehard Si · Feb 24, 2013

Better than some of the options.

I wouldn't be overwhelmed by it, but I thought the same about Robins.
