I reckon they just released this story to get some publicity. Clegg face said.they'll take their time, so perhaps a clever ploy to keep pp us happy that they're on top of things..?

Good bits -
Plenty of publicity for brand ME
Might be an attaction for potential signings who otherwise don't fancy East Anglia?

Bad bits -
Track record
'Big name - big egos' have never worked here before
Unlikely to encourage youth players?
Smells like short term thinking - unlikely to be a five year plan!

The more I think of it I like the echos of Burley's appointment that would come with Veno and a long term plan

Maybe the Club are sounding out Shearer and Burley to work together

stay on holiday!! Don't come near our club!
