And even if we do get 18m, take a look at what RSC, bags, according to one Alan Nixon.

When does 18 million become 15,500,000, When RSC leaves.

Alternatively thats when 18 million might become 20.5million.

Factors...

1. Whatever with a business head on and my blue and white spectacles firmly locked away..... if I was RSC's agent I would want him away. His career which was definitely upward last season has flatlined. BUT I'm not yet certain Man City would be the best place for him.

2. The biter bit...... If we sell RSC and continue to bomb then some of the money could go towards paying severence pay to the management team)*. But that alone might pot off the better 'names' in the frame.

*(Unbelievably I have recently been led to believe that JW might well not have factored a cheap get-out clause into the management deal. I seriously hope my source is wrong!)

Maybe the get out clause is if Ince dosen't turn up to do his coaching badges - infact even that is a good reason to get rid of Ince if that is what Rovers want to do.

Comments such as Ince cannot concentrate on management of Rovers as well as study for his coaching badges. Maybe that is the right reason (excuse) for giving Ince the sack.

I was in favour of giving Ince a try - but he has shown himself not ready for the job and therefore it is time for hime to go.

Ya where did he say that and if thats true then he is an idiot for saying it out loud! Makes a mockery of the next 6-8 weeks.

If thats true then Derbs needs a right bollocking and a fine. If its true that Roque is not happy (you can't blame him), you don't publicise it to the media. Clubs will be alerted and put in lower offers if they think the player is unsettled.

Just my own opinion after today but RSC's performance seem to suggest that his agent has 'wrapped him in cotton wool'.

Personally I'm convinced Santa Cruz will go in January. If I was in his shoes I would want to leave. The only possibility of him staying is if he's not considered a big enough star for City's new management.

In a bizarre way, Ince getting canned just before Christmas could do us a favour with Roque. Think about this, Ince gets canned, new manager comes in and first words out of his mouth will be 'Nobody will be sold until I've had time to assess the players...' thus Roque stays put for the remainder of the season. No manager worth his salt will let any players go if he can help it in January...

If we get a decent offer then he's off. It's worrying to see us being reported with big target men in the papers (i.e. Janko) and also some left backs such as Michael Ball.

I got a feeling we're gonna be saying goodbye to Warnock and Santa Cruz who both look likely to move elsewhere such as Man City. I just hope their new chairman wants bigger names.

I'm absolutely certain that the only way Rocky will leave this January, is if he has a clause in his contract. Even Ince wouldn't dare to sell him otherwise.

Just out of interest Ivan, how did you get your nickname?

It is a nautical term I think, describing a rash and dangerous move, that could endanger the crew and and have catastrophic results for all concerned. As in "John Williams performed a Crazy Ivan in the summer when appointing Paul Ince as manager of Blackburn Rovers".
