Because he is unemployed and needs a job.An interesting post on the other site suggesting that Micky wasn’t expecting to be our manager in L1, spending a lot of time on applications for other jobs, Swansea in particular. Hence the last minute recruitment and patchy start to that season. I’ve no idea about the accuracy of the account, but certain elements ring true. If Micky was keen to get away then, why would he be wanting to return now?
Johnny King came back to pretty good effect..... I think you can either manage or you can't, and the rest is superstition really.as you say never go back to your old job most times never works out we need this sorting fast then get a good team together to win the LG or at least get us up
So did Eddie Howe to Bournemouth. But Howard Kendall came back to Everton (twice) and failed to get anything near the success of his first spell. It can work, but there’s no guarantee.Johnny King came back to pretty good effect..... I think you can either manage or you can't, and the rest is superstition really.
A willingness to come back would not imply he has lost any ambition. We are in a better state financially than when he left, and the ambition of the owner is undimmed. There are not many, if any, League One jobs available at the moment and we are as attractive a proposition as any other club in League Two.So did Eddie Howe to Bournemouth.

I would hate him to come back just because he is unemployed and needs a job. He will presumably have had a payoff to keep him going while he awaits the right opportunity. If he is ambitious, he won’t come back to us. After all, he left us because he was ambitious. We are not a significantly more attractive club than we were when he left and if there were issues between him and the owners, I doubt they will have disappeared.
