True. I wasn't clear. Marginally shorter time.

Seems that the Blackpool fans think it's a Dunn deal.

Popular side since '03.

If it is to be David Dunn are these the sort of silky skills he'll be imparting to the squad :lol:

I've seen him in a few games where he has made some terrible mistakes but that was as a player.
Never heard of Ray Wikie but along with Colin Appleton probably two of the best Managers we. had

Brian Kidd and David Johnson great players but could not Manage the team.
Ron Yeats and Vic Halom both did well but I think that's down to the fact they played and Halom had Barry Diamond as his legs

Dunn worries me but so did Evatt in his initial 1 win in 7 ,but reading the Blackpool Forum he is spoken very highly of.

Lee Bowyers getting the Brummie job so don’t worry about that one. I’d say if you’re looking at current job openings from Cloughs POV, we are the most similar challenge to that of Burton
Delusional!

How so?

Definitely Dunn so as much as Nigel Clough would of been fantastic we now must back Dunn 100% to see what he can do.

If its Dunn then lets hope he brings a good no2 with him. We need this sorting ASAP because if you look at some other club sites they are sorting out their squads. Bolton and "he who shall not be named" have already enquired about Swindons top goal scorer whos a free agent and a Blackpool midfielder. I just think we are a bit behind other clubs atm and we need to start recruiting....
