I'm not paid £300k p.a. to sort out these kind of problems. However Ive maintained from the off that it seems a very straightforward situation to me. The job for the rest of the season SHOULD be a very attractive proposition indeed. However despite you claiming Eustace had no reason to leave, If we don't go up, the job medium to long term is a dog with fleas imo. Therefore the solution is obvious to me, initially appoint the very best person you can until the end of the season. On the basis that all you really need to do is to keep us going in similar fashion to what Eustace managed to do for most of the season and keep them motivated, my initial choice would have been Warnock (and to a lesser extent Allardyce) but Im quite happy to accept the latter is a non starter for the reasons people have mentioned. Don't see why Warnock couldnt have been appointed within 48-72 hours if he was interested. After that I'd go for Gerrard to raise excitement levels, keep the players motivated and keep the spotlight on the Club. After that Id be reasonably happy with Duff and after that Id be reasonably happy with O Neil. Dont see any of those as particularly realistic on the basis, Waghail wont want the spotlight on the Club and Cost, Duff reportedly doesnt suffer fools gladly and the again cost in the case of O Neil respectively. Lowe has done a good job to date and earned the Club a bit of much needed breathing space but I would expect his honeymoon period to end sooner rather than later and if he was appointed permanently Id expect our results and performances to tail off markedly. Its human nature. If you've been told it's Wellens we really want does that not ring SERIOUS alarm bells with you? That smacks to me of preparing for Life medium to long term in League 1 or lower. And If the only reason he doesnt end up here is because we arent prepared to pay the £250k compensation then that should be setting off even more serious alarms and showing the real reason Eustace opted to leave to join a Club in 21st. It wasn't just for a short term bump in salary.

Great deal of certainty there. Hunch or concrete info?

Bet Man Ure thought that before they appointed Solskjaer permanently.

This hundre Correct. Sifting through lots of applications is for run of the mill joba where you've no idea who any of the applicants are. We should have our targets in mind before any applications even come in and approach them in order of preference.

So if we lose a game under Eustace it's Eustace's fault and if we lose one under it's not Lowe's fault. Lol.

Still 5/2 on Talksport Bet If anyone is that confident he's coming there's a killing to be made! (Boateng 7/2, Wicky 4/1 then a big gap to Carsley 10/1.) He is one of the least worst options being floated, I still have difficulty seeing past the financial considerations.

We've had this argument a number of times already. He can only go somewhere where the window is still open this season. (I think)

Absolutely spot on.

Did you say the same about Mowbray when he took us down?

Jalil Saadi. Anyone seen him play? Can't recall hearing his name even being mentioned.

Interestingly Mowbray, (unsurprisingly) Mark Robbins (which we knew about) and CARSLEY are front centre on HSH Sport's instagram page. Not sure if Boateng and Boamorte are on there wouldnt recognise them if I tripped over them. There's a young lad in a Rovers strip on there I dont recognise.

We need to be getting Dolan signed up and binning off Hedges. Unfortunately the opposite will probably occur.

Talksport latest odds Boateng 6/4 Wicky 4/1 Boamorte 5/1 Carsley 5/1 O'Neill 6/1 Gerrard 10/1 Lowe 12/1 Not looking promising at all if they've got it right. Hopefully something completely out of the blue occurs.

Ive been using the odds on Talksport Bet throughout for reference purposes.

So predictably agents, probably HSH, pushing the agendas of Boateng and Boamorte. Doesnt sound from that as though we have a clue who we want or that the quality of the ten million appicants who have supposedly applied, is particularly high.

I did wonder briefly if Damien Johnson might be leaving the Club when they didnt give him the caretaker gig like they did when JDT left. That's the only sort of thing that makes sense of a stand alone move for Boateng. Either that or Lowe is getting it full time and we need an extra member of coaching staff.

It would be ambitious I guess in the sense he'd have been earning infinitely more with Wolves. If a move here would affect his ongoing severance pay, seems like a non starter.

was reported by the LT.

Lol "But apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health............ What have the Romans ever done for us!"

What, even though A) The Club allowed him to have a get out clause in his contract and He apparently offered Waghail the opportunity to resolve the opportunity and they completely rebuffed him?

Not as far as Im aware. He just suddenly went very short in the betting for some reason. I know that''s far from definitive, but are we not allowed to react to that or express our opinion or something?

JFH was linked with the manager's job in the past for some unknown reason. I think from memory the only possible reason for the link might have been the Agency who represented him (our old mates HSH) but I could be wrong on that. Links to Boateng have a similar sort of feel about them.- the old Boro connection

(Puts on Lloyd Grossman "Through the keyhole" voice) "Who would work with a Coach like that?"

The Coventry experience doesn't fill you with confidence even as a number two.

Yeah, there was quite a bit of talk about him for the ROI job when it last came up. Apparently the Irish FA is in a right state and most Irish commentators regard Duff as someone who doesnt suffer fools gladly - and that's putting it mildly. They said he wouldn't last 5 minutes in that job. So for the same reason cant see it happening here either. Might be hugely entertaining while it lasted though.
