He has the club at heart so I am sure he would step in short term like 2 weeks to keep the ship afloat.

Sherwood doesn't want to manage out of the Premier League.

That is why I have said in the past, but been shot down, make him no 2 to SH in the short term and put Jones back to concentrate on coaching. I know of his motivational type speeches.

Anyone SERIOUSLY suggesting that Mullers should have a role to play in the 1st team squad has completely taken leave of their senses.

Yes, he certainly got terrifically involved in the fight to save the club and build the stadium.

Don't forget that Mullery has already been back as manager once (86-87) and presided over a team that ended up getting relegated.

At least the legends wall would have a great picture of him sticking his fingers up

As mentioned before, they were eight points clear of relegation when he was sacked, ending with victory at Grimsby. Then Barry Lloyd took three months to record his first win.

Obviously at his age it wouldnt be a long term appointment either as caretaker about 2 weeks or as SH No 2/advisor max 6 months to ensure or at least attempt avoiding relegation this season.
I'm so glad that some people on here have no say in managerial decisions...

Yeah it worked back in the late 80s.

Explain the role you have in mind because a rather portly 73 year old is not going to be up to much on the training pitches is he? He'll need a mobility scooter to get to the far ones for a start. It'll be like that guy in the wheelchair on Little Britain...

Nobody would expect him to be active on the training ground but with his knowledge of the game he may see various aspects that SH misses and could advise him accordingly. Plus jn the dressing room players would listen to him having seen it done it etc as a player and as a manager.

Why would the players listen to Mullery any more than they would someone they watched win a CL medal? SH may not have a managerial career to point to but I can't imagine there are many players that wouldn't respect him for his achievements on the pitch alone.
Also, remember the age of our squad, how many of the players would know who Mullery is without being told? Is it possible that they'd see the random old guy as undermining the manager (assuming SH still has the dressing room, which he seems to)?

Isnt Mullery a household name that most footballers and fans would have heard of?
