hmmm ... can see a scenario coming where we take on Taylor as assistant manager, and he finishes up with keane´s job...

Just heard from Jaime Peters agent he has signed new 3 year deal at Club

I agree with jayessess.

Read into it what you like, but when RK moves on we now have a capable replacement. if the rumours are true.

Mind you if it is like RK getting in players then he will probably go elsewhere, and we will get in Ron Atkinson or Graham Taylor, terry Venables??

I think Terry Venables would be quality here!

tractorboybig - I doubt anyone has forced PT on RK. I reckon this is just a shrewd bit of foresight by RK. RK might be his own man but he is proving to us that he can accept mistakes and is definitely making ITFC a stronger structure throughout. I'm confident this we're on the up. And I really believe that ME & Cleggy are gonna give RK the time to show the doubters they were wrong. Nice to see a fair few of them already on this post today......Sad gits!

callumgarryskeemer - You've got more chance of getting Terrys All Gold than Vennys old chap!

The suggestion possibly came from the top - it's what they do. Given that Keane himself brought in someone and there were rumours of Brian Kidd (shame this came to nothing) - I'm sure if the right man came along and was available, RK would have no problem bringing in such a guy as Peter Taylor. He's experienced, knows the lower leagues (from whence came John Walters) and has been scouting for Wolves since leaving Wycombe... He'd be a great appointment and folks seeing this as a way of replacing Keane or Keane being reluctant, etc, its all rumours by the conspiracy theorists.

Jim brought in Gorman - and that was good for us (look at the stats) and it seems to be working at QPR. The concept of younger managers is fairly new in relative terms and having a young man guided / assisted by an old pro is a get idea.

Next week - Avram Grant will be appointed Director of Football.

Well done Tractorbigboy I was waiting for someone to hint at something like this being forced upon Keane. You didn't disappoint you are the first I have read....what drivel. It was suggested when JM brought in an experienced number 2 it was being forced on him and he didn't even like the guy. Now he is at QPR who is his number two there I forget? Same here if RK wants to bring in an experienced #2 he will if doesn't he won't, he will not except anything or anyone being forced upon him.

Good idea. Peter Taylor would be an excellent choice.

great move, totally agree with this.

Why would Taylor be such a great idea?. His recent record is awful. Sure he did well with young england players but so he should have. Recently he's been going from pillor to post. Even spent some time at Stevenage. Lets get some someone with some new ideas not another appointment from the manager merrygoround store

I hope it means the end of the road for Steve Foley, I fail to see what he's brought to the club.

How about Bryan Hamilton as coach; Ipswich pedigree and proven track record.
