Sorry if already covered but rosler could be returning to the north west.

Possibly moving up the ranks. How can we slag Wigan and Whelan off now?

Great to have Uwe back in the North West if it comes off , top top bloke and legend. He deserves better than Whelan for a chairman though lol

Fingers crossed for him. One of the most loved players in early to mid 90s and got a lot of time for him

Good luck to Uwe. However, the one problem with him being a success there is that bloody Whelan will be all over the press and tv talking about his bloody broken leg, the Fa Cup final and any other subject matter he cares to witter on about.

The blessed relief from Mr Whelan these past few months has been pleasant.

Wow, not a fan of their chairman (obviously) but I love Uwe and would love to see him be a success. Hope he can get them promoted!

Great to see Rosler's efforts at Brentford being appreciated, even if by Whelan.

Really hope he makes a success of it and gets to manage in the Prem soon.

Whelan's no mug
he'll get a good manager and a "special relationship" with us.
Good luck Uwe. Another rung on a ladder I hope you top (if they pass the interview)

Good luck to Uwe...
Ill be buying the book too

He's an odious shite but a shrewd businessman - I will have a hard time disliking their club if they get Uwe.
I'm delighted to see him getting recognition for his efforts with Brentford though. Who knows, he could end up back here after all if the success continues.

When he was interviewed on local radio a couple of weeks ago, I'm sure they're was still a family connection in Manchester, so could be a very good move for him. Much as rent-a-quote is a knob, he's a very supportive chairman for a manager. Many others would have panicked and sacked Martinez in previous seasons rather than accept he was doing the best he could with an average squad.

There was mention last week of the Goat taking over at Oldham as well.

Not heard that goat rumour , but I do know that the Oldham manager is doing reasonably well (my mates son plays for them) so very unlikely . Paul scholes helped out at training there recently.

Having read the book (a cracking read incidentally), I think it would be a shame if he left Brentford in some respects, as it's clearly something he is enjoying and the club have just had approval for a new stadium suggesting there is a long term plan in place.

I think if he does go to Wigan based on where they are it would clearly be seen as a step up, but I doubt it will be an easy decision for him.

The key factor may be his family who I seem to think are still based in the north west.

Uwe's son plays for our U14's.

Another 8-10 years and Uwe will manage us one day I'm sure.

I'm not sure Owen Coyle would consider him a very supportive chairman after being booted out after only 6 months?

Would love Uwe to be City manager one day too but don't see it happening. I think Martinez will be next city manager after Pelligrini leaves, whenever that should happen. Wasn't he already approached about being his number 2? Makes a lot of sense our Spanish management would look at Martinez as the natural successor to Pelligrini.

6 months is a long time to gauge a manager that takes over a premier league side in div 1.

Its official now, Manchester city have a B team.

Got a colleague who's a Liverpool fan but from Wigan and he went to the Wigan European game last week with some friends who have season tickets. He said Wigan were awful and his mates said it's been like that all season and it seemed that most of the fans wanted him out. If you make the wrong choice, there's no point being supportive.

As for ex-Everton managers for a title chasing team, I'm not sure that's a good idea, although at least Martinez has won something.

The Goat was mentioned for the Bury job with Joe Royle as Assistant, I have Joe as guest next week at the Disabled Supporters Christmas Meal, wonder if he will comment on the rumour...

I'd heard about the Goat/Bury rumour.
