Brian Deane

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

He left the Sarpsborg at the end of their season and is looking for a job. There was an article in the paper the other week about him which was all very positive and that they didn't want him to go. Was carried around the pitch on the shoulders of the fans after his last match.

Time for Brian 'Pistols' Deane to step forward. This would deffo be an appoinment that would excit me.

Could be a lively outsider? A Brit making a name for himself abroad. Big risk but we know Bloom is a man who doesn't mind a bit of risk.

I'm working on the assumption that you're his agent, right?

Oh, THIS. I'm not sure there has been quite such an important goal scored, anywhere, in history, as that first goal in the Premier League. Can anybody else think of one?

Robbie Reinelt's equaliser instantly springs to mind.

Respectable 11th. That does not sound good.

Respectable 11th. That does not sound good.

I think everyone will settle for that this season. Maybe waving pistols at the opposition would be a good tactic.

The irony levels on this thread have got to the point that there's a detector van outside, our broadband's gone wobbly (no surprise there, Virgin, eh?) and the fridge is making a funny noise. STOP IT NOW

If we looking for a progressive young British coach with some experience playing/managing on the continent [/IMG]

No mate, we are looking for someone who wins games. I couldnt care less what nationality or where he has played. I want a manager, not a good ex player and as for where he was born, well that really is irrelevant (unless its close to Selhurst and then that would rule him out).

Good piece about the tremendous job he did in Norway.

 

[Gwylan]

I read that piece in the Guardian too; looks like he did an excellent job in Norway, don't know how that will translate into success in England. Uwe Roesler did OK with Brentford but OGS and that Stale bloke didn't have much success.

I certainly don't think he's that far-fetched a choice to justify the sneering tone on this thread: he may not be a hot favourite but he's got a decent record and TB has picked up-and-coming managers before: he's not a completely off-the-wall choice
