NIL. they both quit for the same reasons - why would they go to clubs that would just do the same thing to them?

Yeah. I don't really expect that to happen, but was just thinking that both will want experienced gaffers.
Incidently, it seems weird the power that Dennis Wise holds, given his own lack of experience.

NOT A BAD SHORT LIST
Five of the six names - the sixth remaining confidential at present - are all foreign, and are as follows:
Slaven Bilic: The Croatian national team boss is the hot favourite to succeed Alan Curbishley and was extremly coy on the subject when questioned by reporters earlier today. Although he has virtually no experience of running a club his appointment would be welcomed by the majority of supporters, giving the board some vital breathing space.
Gerard Houllier: The former French national coach led Liverpool to an incredible four trophies within 12 months back in 2000/01 before ill-health led to the end of his career at Anfield. Most recently he had spent time with Lyon, where he managed for two years before a fall-out with the club's board (!) led to him tendering his resignation last October.
Gianfranco Zola: Possibly the surprise package of the bunch, Zola was a hero as a player at Chelsea where he played during the late 90s before returning to Italy to see out his playing career. His only managerial experience is with the Italian under 21s, whom he currently coaches alongside Pierluigi Casiraghi.
Roberto Donadoni: One of the stars of the all-conquering Milan team of the early 90s Donadoni turned his hand to management in 2001 when he was appointed by Lega Pro outfit Lecco. He went on to manage Livorno (twice) and Genoa before taking the national job following the departure of World Cup winning Marcello Lippi in 2006. However his time in charge of the Azurri ended abruptly this summer when he was fired following the Italian's poor showing at Euro 2008.
Roberto Mancini: The Italian coach enjoyed a hugely successful 20-year playing career which, bizarrely perhaps, ended at Leicester CIty. He took his first steps into management when he was appointed assistant manager at Lazio in 2000, before taking the head coach role at Fiorentina (where he occasionally played). A year later, he returned to Lazio as head coach before being named manager of one of Italy's biggest clubs, Inter, in 2004. He went on to become the club's most successful manager in the last 30 years, winning four cups and the Scudetti three years in a row. In May of this year Mancini was sacked following the club's poor Champions League performance, and is currently a free agent.
A shortlist of six candidates has been drawn up for the vacant manager's position at West Ham United, according to reports.
And according to the list, Paolo Di Canio - who recently reiterated his desire to one day return to United as manager - has been ruled out, presumably due to his lack of experience. Also ruled out is Sam Allardyce, who had been eyeing the vacancy.Five of the six names - the sixth remaining confidential at present - are all foreign, and are as follows:

Unless they are offering huge wages Ii dont think anyone would be looking at the reasons Curbishley left and thinking this is a plum job at the moment.

Wonder if any of those names will be looked at for the Newcastle job!
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Who in their right mind would want the Newcastle job?
Three for me, and two for them.

He would be a crowd favourite and also a board favourite as he has never had to buy or sell players, something of course the manager at West Ham doesn't do anymore

If one wants to be truthful, probably only a handful of clubs in the EPL have managers who have total control of the buying and selling of players, and they do so at their own peril.
Surely any manager worth his salt would be negotiating a very strong selection clause in his contract, and be strong enough to force a joint announcement with the board that they are the terms he is coming on board.
Lets face it, have you ever seen an Italian who could even manage to talk with his hands tied.

I was at Upton Park on Saturday, and heard "Alan Curbishley's claret and blue army" from the fans for apparently the first time in a while. Proof that the fans were getting back on Curbs' side.
I sat two rows behind the directors box and would have thrown a bit of sh*t down on them if I knew what was coming.
How about that. I was at Upton Park too on Saturday. In the East Stand right on the half way line. We must have been eye balling each other.
I liked the Ince chant, Fat Eddie Murphy, your just a fat Eddie Murphy
I was in London for my daughters wedding. She married a Blackburn supporter. He had tickets in the Blackburn area and left when they went 3 - 1 down. My daughter and wife were in the stand above you. Bloody hard getting tickets for one off games. We went to the East Ham Workingmens Club after until the crowd cleared. Then went home and chatted to my son in law.
I rang the club on the thursday after trying to buy tickets on the web (it wasn't letting my parents buy tickets at oap prices, even though they are of that age). There was sod all tickets available on the web, but the ticket office said they were selling bond seats that hadn't been bought. Got three seats on the half way line 2 rows behind the directors box
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

My ticket was a bond holder seat from a bondholder who now lives in Wellington. If they are not claimed within 7 days of the game they are sold.
My wife and daughter's tickets came from a friend who has two membership tickets and can get pref booking for one ticket each. When we tried to get a ticket by phone before leaving they told us to take out a membership for about $90 and we may be able to get a ticket that way!!!
My son in law got his ticket through Blackburn. I have since told him that when a West Ham Manager can only get a 4 - 1 result against teams like Blackburn, he is asked to walk.
