Good questionI wonder if he even wanted to come back?
Totally agree. All Simon needs to do is get a few real football guys say Ollie, Super Brett and Tony Green etc so we get a manager that fits this great club and takes us on another “best trip”I reckon he was approached. He'd got 2 massive pay outs from Villa and QPR and could have spent Saturday's rearranging his Gnomes in to a 3-5-2 formation. A bit like Grayson and Appleton when they returned, I get the feeling he didn't want the job and it's now a chore and an existence. Sadly those 3 appointments are a stain on Sadler's otherwise incredible ownership (and I say incredible because I know he has the town and club at his heart but he just seems a bit blinkered and out of his depth when it comes to managerial appointments).
Didn't the rumour mill say here went for talks with Rovers before the Gerrard thing?I'd be amazed if he had the cheek to apply after sneaking off to Villa to put the cones out for Gerrard, no I reckon SS made the approach, maybe he should have had a fans forum on it first then he'd be nowhere near the club.
Unfortunately, in terms of the on field side of the business, he's as clueless as his current head coach.I reckon he was approached.

Or 'The Penthouse', as the previous occupant used to call itHe was annointed in the club chapel apparently.
I don’t think it’s overly relevant in any case and certainly doesn’t mean Crichley didn’t want to return.He would always have to be appointed. As to who phoned whom...that's the question.

Agree.I don’t think it’s overly relevant in any case and certainly doesn’t mean Crichley didn’t want to return.
He was also sacked 12 games into his QPR stint after signing a 3 and half year deal.Of course he’d have wanted to take the job, otherwise he wouldn’t have got it.
He’s hardly going to be forced to take it, from personal preference and also financially, as he’d be on a big payout from Villa
Got to be the only industry that rewards failure.He was also sacked 12 games into his QPR stint after signing a 3 and half year deal.
