When did we last......

When did we last have a manager whose first four letters of his surname is the same as the first four letters of a Duran Duran hit? (Wild Boys)

The Reflex = The Ref = Qualified Official = Warnock

Best I could do. I suspect it's a trick question with no other right answer ;-)

Bert ,brownie is spending half an hour in the beer garden having a quiet pint in the sun and has just consulted his memory and it has told him this.

Since Porterfield

McEwan - Promoted from within
Bassett - had recently been sacked by Watford
Kendall - had recently had a year out of the game after well documented problems at Notts Co
Spackman - promoted from within
Thompson - temporary promotion from within
Bruce - straight from playing career
Heath - Peter Reids no 2 at Sunderland
Warnock - poached but on the verge of the sack at Bury
Robson - recently sacked at WBA
Blackwell - recently parted way at a relegation bound Luton
Speed - promoted from within
Adams - poached from Port Vale
Wilson - sacked at Swindon
Weir - Evertons reserve team manager
Clough - recently sacked by Derby
Adkins - recently sacked by Reading

Brownie also thinks he might his bladey bladey crayons out and write to Pinchy to find out why he is also so against Wilder.

He might also keep a close eye on Barney and see what he can get his season for after we drop points in a couple of games towards the end of September

Weir was only the Assistant to Everton's Reserve Team Manager.

Let's not overegg the man's qualifications.

And whose abbreviated first name is one letter short of another saviour (assuming he turns out to be one that is)

Clough managed Derby before he managed us

Yes bit not in the league we're in?
Did I misunderstand the question? It's more than possibly.

Division you mean?

 

[PeteBlade]

Division you mean?

I won't lie I'm now totally lost.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

I won't lie I'm now totally lost.

I think he misunderstood and is now being pedantic to try to cover it up. You were right first time. Peace.

 

[BushBlade]

Division you mean?

I would say division but as each division is called a 'league' ie League 1, he's probably correct.
