Well that's Sunderland going up then.

Speaking of the L1 Playoff Final, Wycombe haven't turned up - and they're only down because their keeper can't save a shot directly at him. Not much quality on display here.

I mean there's literally nothing else to do up there - and no other teams around them.

Haven't they approach Ainsworth before, but they wanted him to resign from Wycombe so they could avoid paying compensation - and obviously he refused to screw over the club like that. At least that's what I read on here... taken with a pinch of salt, obviously.

CM is his natural position - he bossed the game against Birmingham playing there. Always looked most comfortable when played in a 3 in a 4-3-3. Playing as an AM / False 9 is fitting a square peg into a round hole. Classic Mowbray.

In the first team right now we have Buckley and Travis. That's it. Edun can't play at this level.

I'll go with the former. Mowbray's last match in charge was a fortnight ago. We were officially told he was being let go 9 days ago. We've heard nothing since. After 12 years of these owners we should all have learned by now they've not planned for this at all, so we'll drift aimlessly for a few more weeks at least.

For what it's worth Mario Cristobal coached the PAC12 Championship game on 4 Dec for Oregon and was announced as the Miami Hurricanes Head Coach on 6 Dec - but of course that involved private jets and people that cared.

That's a mighty fall from grace for Brennan - he was being chased by Leeds last year. We officially have no CMs on the books, so the new manager had better pull his finger out.

I mean technically your lad elbowed Mings in the head, so I wouldn't complain about VAR too much, eh?

Palace were a disgrace in the second half. Everton have done JUST enough AGAIN to survive. What a horrible little club.

3 point deduction for that pitch invasion, surely.

Everton, Burnley and Leeds are all terrible. It's a shame only one of them can go down.

I have no idea how good he was at Gent. I can only talk about how I've observed the significant decline in the quality of his distribution between his debut and now.

Both keepers went backwards under Benson. Kaminski's distribution now is significantly worse than when he arrived.

It infuriates me watching other teams at Ewood having the freedom of the pitch to take their throw-ins, meanwhile every single one of our players is tightly marked when we're throwing the ball in.

Am I the only one that thinks Lenihan is bang average? I wouldn't be straining myself to keep him - especially if we plan to play in a back 4 next year.

Ah, I see you've made the fundamental mistake of listing Pears as a GK. Easily done.

Sadly you're probably very right. Which is a shame because I'm hanging on by a very thin thread at this point.

Ah good. No rush. Plenty of time to drift listlessly through the off-season.

Oh how I miss the days when I could genuinely chant "Who?" from the Jack Walker Stand at a substitute because I knew most starting XIs in the PL. No idea who this lad is, but good luck to him. He's very brave considering we still live in a world where Rico Henry is being racially abused and Burnley fans are throwing up Nazi salutes.

So do we have any substantive updates or are the last few pages all just back and forth about the merits of managers who may or may not be interested in the job?

Way ahead of you.

The Brighton keeper (Sanchez?) pulled off two worldies - but yes, Brighton players were ghosting into massive gaps in the Leeds back line at will in the first half. I still think Leeds are going down, but the pressure is now on Burnley to get a result from their last two games.

For good reason.
