Ordinary Gweilo

It seems that Leicester fans may have been celebrating prematurely when Gary Megson left:

Leicester have interviewed Joe Royle, Peter Reid and Graeme Souness for the manager’s job and the appointment could be made by Saturday.

BBC Sport understands chairman Milan Mandaric is keen to put the new man in charge before this weekend’s visit to Preston to resurrect their season.

None of the three candidates to take over are currently in managerial positions.

Royle’s last job was at Ipswich and ended in May 2006, while Souness’ reign as Newcastle manager finished in February 2006 and Reid left Coventry in January 2005.

When I wondered why Peter Reid wasn’t on the shortlist for the Ireland job, I was trying to be ironic.
