If they cant attend when King Kenny is here, they're never likely to are they?

Probably been said already but what a horrific list that is. We have a more or less unique opportunity (on a short term basis at least) and that's the best we can do? If theyre the best 12 names, god help the other 138 alleged applicants. Out of those 12 I'd only be reasonably happy with Duff or Gerrard ( neither of whom seem likely to me) or ok with O'Neil and Carsley. The other 8 I'd be gutted with.

At the moment the players are doing the business on the understanding there'll be a new man coming in. It would be a massive mistake to remove that carrot/stick imo, we've seen countless examples over the years of teams showing an upturn in form under a caretaker manager then as soon as the appointment is made permanent everything goes rapidly South.

Both ex Boro unsurprisingly. What was that agency based up there that was an offshoot of Kentaro called? Was it HSH?

Ill be gutted if Wellens gets it. Wellens and Gerrard joint favourites at 4/1 on Talksport. O Neil next best then Carsley who I dont think is a realistic candidate.

He's taken one step back to (in his mind) take two steps forward there's no doubt about that. The worry from our point of view is why he felt compelled to do that and whether we know how bad things REALLY are behind the scenes yet.

That argument works both ways though. Id maintain that minus Szmodics and Travis it was and still is a pretty poor squad which highlights how well he did to still have us in contention by this stage. Which is good for us going forward regardless of what you make of his decision to leave when he did.

We seem to be moving inexorably towards that model dont we.

Maybe he did actually prefer a Midlands Club? Quite sure he'd have ended up at West Brom had they been willing to pay the compo. Did they ever end up with the **** end of the stick for the sake of a few hundred grand.

They started the night outside the bottom 3 on goal difference. This result has put them in it, on it.

Naughty boy!

Ok if it was Nixon, him being critical of Henry Winter as well - ROFL. Bet Henry's losing a lot of sleep about that.

Shows how bad as a manager Rooney is.

They just have. Unless it was the Derby fans!

Sorry are we talking about Nixon here? If so he's gone into full PR mode for the Club since the Eustace situation arose. Possibly since the end of the window with his comments on what a steal 20k p.w. was for the Dennis deal (who has barely featured for us yet). Most odd.

Oh ok sorry. Must be great always being right!

3-0 QPR Lol.

I did. But someone showed me the regulations and pointed the opposite out. I "think" the position is that he can only move to a Country where the window is still open. To be treated as a free agent you've got to be a free agent before the window closes. And that arguably therefore we should have terminated Sigurdsson's contract before the window closed. Still wouldnt like to put the mortgage on it, if Im wrong anyone please feel free to correct.

The other 146 must have been good!

I thought that as well but Im told that you have to be a free agent before the window closes. So he can only now go somewhete this season where the window is still open. Rovers fucked up massively there imo.

That's funny tbf.

Cant until next season. Has to be somewhere where the window is still open.

Not in the slightest. I hope they go down without winning a game. I've no axe to grind with Eustace though.

Thought you'd be enjoying that. Yeah, fuck Derby.

147 of them probably put the phone down when we said we wanted someone beyond the end of the season.
