Yep, he said some in work some out of work... |  | |  |

Yep, it could only really be managers currently struggling or treading water, can't really see Scott Parker, Marco Silva, Valérien Ismaël, Mogga, Michael O'Neill and Warburton stepping down a division. |  |

I did wonder about Pearson because of the obvious Bristol City link. Rooney would be the 'name' ala Roy Keane wouldn't he! |  | |  |

He's got Luton playing at their ceiling though really. If you take a long term view, I'd wager he's more likely to get to the Premier League with us than Luton. I take your point they are 6 points off the play offs (and also 7 points off 21st) but I think this would be an opportunity he'd have to really think about, it isn't a slam dunk decision, we nearly had their club captain here in the summer! |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Pep still needs to win a European trophy with City before his job is complete there, Klopp though……. |  | |  |
Ashton references managers from a higher level... on 10:20 - Dec 7 with 2674 views | mrfixit426 | I wouldn't believe everything you hear from that man. Remember that his number one priority at the moment is keeping the fans on his side. But he's a snake oil salesman, no doubt about it. |  | |  |
Ashton references managers from a higher level... on 10:33 - Dec 7 with 2587 views | tractordownsouth | I’m calling bs. I remember MacAnthony saying similar about Posh when they were in L1 but they never tempted a manager down a level. Despite what I said on other threads about whether a bottom half champ job is worth taking over the Town vacancy, leaving a job to drop down is another kettle of fish. The only manager we could realistically tempt is Rooney given Derby’s situation but even then I wouldn’t want him on the wages he’d demand. |  |

Rooney is just waiting on Rafa being sacked, then he's going home to Everton |  | |  |

Think it’s fair to say it won’t be Pearson either. He has seen first hand of taking over what Ashton has left behind. I can only imagine he wasn’t very impressed. |  | |  |

It's certainly your imagination, because he has applied. |  | |  |

His wife is born and bred Ipswich and keen to move back to the area. Pearson's been keen on the job 2-3 times in the past. He's definitely applied. |  | |  |
