Would Rowett take the job?

And if not, would they go for a Pardew or Woy instead?
Sounds like whoever it is is flying in today so sounds a done deal. If it's not Rowett, the other name that's been floated is Marco Silva or someone? Oympiakos boss? Dunno how that'd go.

Has a decent record but would be a very different experience in England.
Was good for Sporting until he got shafted to make way for Jesus. Also has Champions League experience with Olympiakos (they beat Arsenal at the Emirates under him) so you're not getting shit which is the main thing.

If he comes we would have to be serious and give him a good budget. Even then we've left ourselves half a season to bridge a pretty big gap.

He's managed at Estoril and Sporting who aren't renowned for big budgets. Only likely problem is him filling up with Portuguese players who aren't that good.

I guess that's promising. And yeah would be a bit like solksjar (sp) at Cardiff.

Oh really? As in it's frozen or he's not offered as an option? There should be a 'Any other manager' option.

But yeah it's definitely him, Portuguese press reporting he's flown over to sign a 6-month deal.

Actually really excited about this. Could be anything, but at least now I give us a vague hope of surviving.
