Thanks for taking the time to do that philip, I'm sure I'm not the only ex pat who appreciates that.

- 7th best club in the league.

- We pay our managers very well.

- Great Board and Chairman.

- Pretty laid back fans.

- Some very good players.

- Great "set up"

- " A proper club "

- Possibly money to spend (£10m)

We should be looking at some very good candidates. I hope for Billic or Ince.

OK, so as some of you may recall from the Benni saga a couple of summers ago I have a friend at l'equipe. He insists that some informal contact has been made between Rovers and the Croatian FA (he's currently in Austria). He works for a French paper, he won't fully cover this story at all, but it was still an interesting piece of news (he has no reason to lie to me).

Personally don't think Bilic would be interested, but could you look into it for me nicko?

Is this for Sky Sports benefit? ;)

I know there is an agent trying to rev things up to move him on. I had a call from the Paraguay camp when they were in Germany, quite specifically stating that Man U and Arsenal want him and that an agent was trying to get things moving.

Kin agents, hate em.

Try and get some movement on the odds and then lay on him...

No, serious piece of info, just wanted to see if Nicko could check it out (no one should act on this in betting terms yet).

you class Paul Ince as a very good candidate?

he's probably the worst from the bunch that are being mentioned. Id rather have Steve Mclaren, Ince has managed MK Dons, yes he got them promoted but he was putting his wits up against Sammy McIlroy & co. Mclaren, sam allardyce have all managed at the top level. Yes mark Hughes didnt manage at the top level but it was a risk at that time, that has paid off. Were in a position in the league right now that any small mistake could cost us. Ask Bolton when they appointed Sammy Lee. The league is far too demanding for us to appoint a inexperienced manager from league 2!

Why is it that Roy Keane was described as a top quality manager when he was given the Sunderland job with no previous experience?

Why did Mark Hughes walk into the Wales job with no experience or coaching badges?

Why did Southgate get given the Middlesbrough job with no qualifications?

How did Dennis Wise get to manage Leeds in the Championship?

Why does Ince have to start at Swindon, Macclesfield and recently MK Dons? Why do no Premier league boards want to give him a chance? What is wrong with him? His record at the lower level is very, very good.

I would rather it was him than Jewell, McClaren or Allardyce. Those would be pathetic, middle-of-the-road, welcome to a relegation battle appointments.

Is there a market yet?

Always has been, not as many stalls as there used to be and only open three days. You can access it from the spiral at Market Street or off Penny Street.

Get down early though there'll be at least 20 in by dinner time.

Ince's appointment wouldn't be without risk but he could hardly have done more than was asked of him in his management career so far.

He turned Macclesfield round in near impossible circumstances then led MK Dons to the title in impressive style. He has the playing background to win the respect of today's players and strikes me as the sort of personality who wouldn't take any grief from overpaid prima donnas.

One of our best managers ever imo was Howard Kendall who we initially appointed with very little managerial experience. After being incredibly successful with us he went on to win several League titles and European trophies with Everton.

Taking away the debacle of an england job , mclaren had a decent record at club level , granted he was workin for arguably the best owner/chairman in the pl when it comes to backing managers, he won boro a cup & got them to final of uefa cup , (incidently soemthin hughes couldn't do)

Ince didn't manage Swindon, Dennis Wise did. He also took Millwall to the Cup Final.

Thats interesting to note. Not certain he would be my first choice, but hey what do I know!
