I remember speaking to Matt Oakley a few years back who told me that Hoddle was by far and away the best manager he worked for in terms of actual coaching and training. He got the best out of players like Oakley, Beatty, Richards etc by working with him on the training pitch

 

Plus look what he did at Swindon - proven track record

 

Im sure MLT isn't dumb enough to put any past personal differences before the best interests of the club, esp. if hes the chairman. If its a choice between Hoddle or Dowie/O'Leary etc then Hoddle wins each time

 

Not that it will happen

I have been told by an employee of SFC that the Pinnacle takeover will happen today.

 

Furthermore Hoddle is the front runner to be manager.

 

Source has been reliable in the past...... but not always 100% right

 

There was more info from MLT on Sky yesterday and here is the link:

I agree with MLT that I'd rather take the 10 point deduction and ensure the stability of the club at the moment before it's too late.

 

However I would have thought that Glenda would probably be the very last person on his list of wanted managers so I'm afraid I would dismiss that rumour as BS.

Hoddle did well at Swindon because he was player/manager regardless of what he did afterwards he was a superb player.

Not that it matters a jot as its all irrelevant anyway as he won't be manager here.

1 Souness consortium

2 Charlene de Carvalho Heineken

3 Jersey Businessman, cant remember his name

 

These are the three according to my info..............

 

Dont care as long as they have £100m to spend over the three/four year s to take us to Champions League football in 2013!!

 

Well from my employee source at Sky, he expects MLT to sign a new contract by the end of the week.

Hoddle also never managed Swindon in Division 3. he rescued them when they were in Division 2.

In addition Hoddle is crap unless he has Gorman as assistant, as proven at Wolves. So even if I believe that Hoddle is MLT's choice I hope to goodness that if it is that Gorman will be back as well (unless of course Hoddle could bring Snodin back instead, possibly the best assistant manager in the game, even made Burley look good for a while)

He didnt do to bad bringing Swindon through the division as my memory serves me,

 

Dont label me a Lowe luver but if he had stuck to his guns and not listened to back page campaigns and fan forums and re-appointted Hoddle theres a good chance we wouldnt have ended up were we are now.

 

 

I thought this old chestnut had been put to bed a while back i.e. rest of the board, Wolves etc.
