Cant really remember who was discussed at the time as possible replacements had they sacked the twat. George Graham may have gone, Bobby Robson after the world cup the year after but he wouldnt have gone in 89. Howard Kendall came to us, Brian Clough was quite heavily on the piss, Pleat's star was fading. I cant think who they had in mind, must have been somebody, Slurgie was on the edge.
