But whose. They're not sure Yeung has it and the other 2 seem to be pulling in different directions if some of what's in the papers is true so why jeopardise a career that's going somewhere in the hopes of getting cash when the whole club would appear to be in turmoil?

It looks a total shambles to me. Gold wanted Black but has not got the full support of the rest of the board. Sullivan and Brady are pulling different ways. Yeung is just an investor at the moment who is likely to move on.

I think they used a takeover as an excuse to let Bruce go. I think they were just fed up with each other.

One way or another why would McLeish want to join that lot?

I hope you're right. It reminds me of when Duff was linked with Septic.

Derby County is a short list. The names I heard are Geraint Williams and Paul Ince. I believe both of their clubs will be approached tomorrow.

Birmingham City is bizarre. They are sure McLeish is coming. I am yet to be convinced...

Ah that's good to hear.

I agree with you about McLeish. I hate the birmingham board and they are really screwing themselves over.

Nicko is the really a clause in Sparkys contract?

There are bound to be clauses. But I can't imagine one specifically for England being high up his list of priorities.

Contracts are not really worth that much to managers or chairmen for that matter - it's what the boss gets paid that matters and whether he is happy.

Any further on brum boss? BBC saying that Scotland have flatly refused brum permission to talk to McLeish and they want to keep him.

Also Derby, the money on Ince isn't drying up by the looks of it. Best odds are 4/9.

Eric Black has walked out - as predicted yesterday. McLeish is the one they are running with, but I still think there is a bit of late drama with him.

Derby will approach TWO clubs today. Ince sure he is getting it, but I expect Geraint Williams to get an interview.

I hope Williams gets it. Just went to put a betfair 4/1 on ince on and my account has no money left, can't believe it. :unsure:

Suprised that McLeish has thrown himself to the dragons at brum.

The porn boys are probably paying him a figure the SFA couldn't get anywhere near to finding for him- and the first year or so is all coming from Dave Whelan's pockets. And I supposed that for McLeish, after the SPL, BIG CLUB lives up to its name!

As Yeung was reportedly having difficulty getting the cash together from Chinese investors, signing Eck on gives them a name they might recognise but certainly can pronounce and probably makes funding the take over much easier. The previous incumbent's ego couldn't take being called Bluce.

On that basis, if it gives Sullivan the cash exit from BIG CLUB he has been wanting for a long time, McLeish probably found a signed cheque with his name written on it but the amount left blank.

Sparky's seriously big deal at Ewood has probably been overtaken by Bruce at Wigan and now McLeish at Brum inside a week.

So Billy Davies to take over in Scotland then?

I'm noticing movement on Jewell for Derby boss too Nicko. What you know about this?

It went silly a couple of hours or so ago...but I don't think there is anything happening. Yet.

It's amazing how these stories start.

Derby want to talk to Ince and Williams. That tells me they are going cheap and cheerful. And Paul Jewell is a little more expensive and would want cash for players.

Apart from that - as of 2pm - he had not had a call.

I think the McLeish deal suggests Yeung is not coming in, it is a Gold-Sullivan production.

Bruce will be on more than Sparky at Wigan - just now. I think he takes a cut if/when they go down. McLeish will have a big bonus in his deal but won't be on Sparky's basic.

Craig Levein for Scotland. You heard it here first.

Let's see re Yeung.

Very interesting perspective on the respective managers' salaries.

I was on a wind up re Billy Davies.

Wee Billy will be a contender for Scotland.

And Birmingham's current board can't wait for Yeung to sort himself out much longer - or they go down.

If you're interested someone keeps offering 99-1 on Geraint Williams to take over at Derby on Betfair.

I tried to get it, must have just missed it. Ended up with £4 at 25/1 and £1 at 32/1. Thats on top of the £5 at 33/1 i already have ;) Also tried to cover it with Ince at 5/1 :P

You better be right Nicko :lol:
