Meulensteen has managed before: he managed to take Brondby from a perennial top 2 club to 7th.

Bit misleading there. He was only there for the first half of the season! Hardly enough time to judge his management credentials.

I'm worried about this too. I went to a management seminar run by Muelensteen a couple of years ago and inbetween some amusing anecdotes about the Utd players, he talked about management styles etc and he was hugely impressive.

If he does go into football management, I'll bet him to be a success.

Rumour afoot, you'll be coming out to Z cars theme.:w00t:

Unless you have followed lower league football in the North West you've probably not heard of this guy but Oldham fans beware, looks like he could be heading your way

Strange world. Pragmatic southerner and passing-football-aspiring very northern team. A perfect match.

Ex-wimbledon boss directs football? There's gotta be a Joe Kinnear somewhere!:w00t:

That's a classic swoopism well done for beating him to it?

This is a strange one.. Kinner was pretty much a failure there last time.. hasn't managed for years, was out dated then, so why bring him into a spot all about long term thinking...

I think Pardew was a decent appointment in the end, he's a decent manager, has bought well and I expected them to do well next season, top 10 anyhow..
