Rioch and Todd anybody?

That's proper science.

You can't argue with science - FACT!

Cheating, chinny bastards!

Rioch and Todd twenty years too old, has-beens I am afraid! In my version of reality we need someone who is still working and up to date with current methods and knows how to manage young (relatively) kids!

...and cheap.

Don't forget that, Rog.

I believe Timmy Mallet is available.

I agree with LPP

It very rarely works for a manager to return to an old club and emulate, if not better, their previous success!

What about Jose at Chelsea, bring them back.

Scott, reread my post - I said rarely.

I could give at least 25 examples where a manager has gone back to a club and failed miserably - best examples being Kevin Keegan and Kenny Dagleish!
