Without a sporting director or competent people in place behind the scenes I'd be worried selecting a manager from abroad who hasn't worked in this country before. The squad needs rebuilding and with the UK leaving the EU it will be harder to recruit from abroad with our likely budget. I appreciate this season untested foreign managers have done well, at Reading and Barnsley in particular but from what I have read they didn't have much to do with the recruitment of their players. Don't think we have the set up behind the scenes to assist an incoming manager from abroad with no prior experience in this country.Id be all for scouring European leagues if we had such a set up or even a settled squad that with the correct coaching could push on. Carvalhal and Jokanovic would be two id be happy with. Wilder would be my choice

Sensational?Where is the assist or goal?

It's excellent.Im on season 4 episode 3 and it just keeps getting better

Wilder for Mowbray half time special?

I'm sure he can speak for himself but surely that should apply the other way round aswell? As every time Buckley has a bad game he gets posts thrown at him saying how useless Buckley is and how he will never make it at this level. As far as I can recall Paul Mani never said Buckley was worth 10 million?He said he had heard from the staff they believe he could be a 10 million player and he was the one the staff felt had a real chance of being a premier League player

He said it well before Buckley was a regular in the squad

He does run such stories about other players?He has De Gea back to Spain a couple of week ago and now he saying to PSG. And is it a surprise that other clubs are interested In Armstrong and it is being reported on? He is young, English and has had a decent scoring season he also has only 1 year left in his contract so don't see how you can suggest it's something sinister with Nixon reporting possible interest?

From which league?

We are in danger

If Wilder leaves Sheffield United then he would be my choice

In fairness he has been poor but like we do not see him everyday but Ancellotti who is a top manager saw fit to give him his premier League debut last season and include him in many match day squads this season so to be fair I'd give him a bit more time before I'd make a judgement on him.He has had one or two good games here aswell

Clown?I will say he has been poor in recent matches but Lenihen had just a poor spell earlier in the season.He isn't ours and I'd rather see a contracted player play if we had the option.But I would be willing to bet that Braintwhaite will have a better career than any of our contracted centre halves.Contracted to a premier league club and rated by Ancellotti who would know a lot more than us.Reportedly being tracked by Manchester United. Labelling a 19 year old a clown after half a dozen matches is pathetic imo

Jordan Rhodes joining Bolton. Neil to be installed as manager by the end of the week. Every player to be sold in the summer as we are on the brink of financial Armageddon

They left before they had a chance to go any further. I'm not saying they would be my choice, but they did a great job at Lincoln and under the circumstances a decent job at Huddersfield. It wasn't due to results that they left Huddersfield. Like I say wouldn't be my number one choice but I'd rather them than another Mowbray or Coyle who only got the job because the had a promotion on their cv ages and ages ago

How did the Cowley's fail at Huddersfield? They did a good job just had a disagreement with the new owner on the direction the club was taking.

Probably going to celebrate it when he signs a new contract after our next win

There are far better options out there than John Terry who has never managed a game in his life. Terry was a fully grown man when he was racist toward Ferdinand and all the stuff with his team mates Mrs. I'm not asking for squeaky clean but that isn't the sort of character I want to be cheering on.Each to their own I suppose

Why whats John Terry done as a manager?Nothing because he has never been one. Just because he was a very good centre half does not mean he will be a decent manager and like I said some of the things he is done makes it a big no from me.

Yeah and a grade A ass...racism toward Ferdinand, bedding a team mates Mrs...great pedigree or not I wouldn't want him here same goes for Giggs

Summer of 22 I think

I'm just going off what I read in the Newcastle chronicle today that they understand they have 40% of any profit.Hopefully not true

Really?The guy had only really done anything in league 1 to be fair with the exception of a few decent performances for Barnsley in the championship. He had failed at Bolton prior to joining us on loan and I didn't think he was amazing in league one. Surely a deal rising to 3 million with 20 % sell would have been about right.40% Is a way too much to have agreed at the time

The Newcastle chronicles suggesting it is 40% of any profit we make on Armstrong. Scandalous if we agreed to such a high percentage

Players come and go when Dack got injured we thought we were in a pickle then until Armstrong stepped up. I agree we should be looking for more than 8-10 million but Armstrong isn't irreplaceable 12-14 months ago his starting place in the team was debatable

Butterworth is out injured again
