Nicko, the Bentley thread is currently speculating as to the sell on fee for Bentley. 50% is the received wisdom, but actually, nobody really seems to know.

Do you have an educated insight in to yhis? If not care to do some digging for us?

I am not sure about the 50 per cent thing...I believe you paid much more for Bentley than was ever revealed...probably a lot of add-ons for appearances and, of course, England caps.

You might have forked out about £3 million-plus by now.

If there's a 50 per cent sell-on on top that makes the potential asking price massive.

Having lost a manager and backroom staff that are amongst the highest qualified in the Premier League - in terms of coaching badges - I just cannot believe that we are going to appoint Paul Ince. A manager with only Division Two - the old Fourth Division!!!! - experience and no coaching qualifications. I cannot believe that a club that finished 7th in one of the toughest Leagues in the world is going to go down that route. If he comes I assume that Ray Mathias will be coaching our international players while Ince returns to school to get some qualifications.

If Allardyce and McClaren are unsuitable I just don't understand how Ince can be acceptable. Surely, when shortlisting from 40 applicants the neccessary coaching certificates should have been in the column marked essential in chosing the criteria for coming up with the ones you want to interview. You really couldn't make it up - but then after a lifetime of watching the Rovers I really shouldn't be surprised.

Totally agree, but then Nicko seems to be pulling all the strings on here as to whats happening gossip wise regarding the interviewing of the next manager without any say so from the club or its representatives on their process of elimination in finding the right man.

Its good stuff from nicko, but i wonder if hes going to plant a red herring that might be aimed at catching someone out.

With regards to the Wolly brining someone in, what about Flowers? Is he still the assistant at Coventry? I think the wolly would be looking for a younger and junior guy to work with.

Nope he got kicked out with Dowie!

Barry has gone on holiday...but Sidwell will go to Villa. Price agreed.

Mensah and Wigan is possible, but very expensive.
