I suppose he's probably got a million or so in the bank from his days in management but you have to wonder whether he ever looks back 18 years and feels a tinge of regret.

I know there have been many many like him down the years but after such a brilliant start to his career, where did it go wrong?

Or has he actually done okay apart from the odd poor season - and Aberdeen...?

When was he ever mighty? I think as soon as he went back to the SPL it highlighted the end of his better days as a manager, and there's been very few of them.

i have a feeling you might see Warnock or Davies at Forest very soon, Cotterill is utterly useless.

[1871 Royal]

The sooner Cotterill goes the sooner I can laugh. I really do h8 him.

[Royal With Cheese]

The sooner Cotterill goes the sooner I can laugh. I really do h8 him.

I hope he gets the sack at 10pm Tuesday 17th April.

That would be ideal as well to be honest

The Independant says

Mark McGhee has been named the new manager of npower League Two strugglers Bristol Rovers, the club have confirmed.

The 54-year-old, who had spells in charge of English clubs Reading, Leicester, Wolves, Millwall and Brighton, has been out of management since leaving Aberdeen in December 2010.

McGhee, who has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, takes charge of a Pirates side that is currently 18th in the table and succeeds Paul Buckle, who was sacked following a 2-0 defeat at Barnet at the start of the month.

"Over time the minimum they should expect is not to be in this division," McGhee said.

"Even in their present form they should consider themselves capable of being in at least the First Division.

"Beyond that the coming of a new stadium will hopefully bring even greater times. That's a part of why I'm here - I see a project, it's not just a case of me coming here and firefighting. There's a future here.

"There's a really exciting future possibly for the club and I'm delighted to be a part of it."

Chairman Nick Higgs was delighted to get his man, insisting McGhee was "streets ahead" of any other candidate.

"I think we're very fortunate to have Mark here. The calibre of candidates we had this time even excelled the calibre we had last time, but Mark was streets ahead of anybody else," he said.

"If you were fortunate enough to attend the interviews that we had, we finally had three candidates out of a shortlist of a number and Mark sold himself very, very well.

"He showed that he's not coming here for just a stepping stone to get back into his career, he wants to come and rebuild the club and go forward.

"We've reached a low ebb and we need to move forward and it was a very impressive interview.

"I liked what I heard about his training regimes and the way he conducts non-matchdays with players and I thought it was incredibly impressive."

Over time the minimum they should expect is not to be in this division," McGhee said.

And by the end of this season I'm sure their relegation will prove how right he was..

He was pretty candid in a local TV interview.

Said that when he started out in management at Reading he fully expected to be at Man Utd by this stage in his career. Hence he has a lot to prove.

[roadrunner]

Talk gathering pace that Warnock is on Leeds radar to replace Grayson.

Can't see how that is going to work, even in the short term. It's like chalk and cheese, but these two don't even like each other and have had some run-ins on the touchline.

He was appointed from above and not be Cotterill so it will be interesting to see what his reaction to this appointment is.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Having a small wager on 'arry to be next to go at 20/1, just in case the poor lamb gets banged up.

[weybridgewanderer]

Lots of candidates for next out the door!!

Mick McCarthy or Robert Martinez?

Do Boro need promoted? If so tony mowbray? How about Paul Jewell continueing his impressive set of results at Ipswich, he is making Roy Keane look like SAF, what is it, 2 wins in 16 games now???

[Barry the bird boggler]

Andy Thorn perhaps?
Kenny Dalglish?

Priceless - like his quote about Reading being "a club that now matches my ambitions" a few years ago...
