Any truth in the tabloids reports of Diouf and Ben Haim to Newcastle, Nicko? (Ben Haim for £1mill apparently!)

I did the Ben Haim link two weeks ago. Chelsea would sell him, Allardyce fancies him, but I think the player won't want to move.

Diouf could be sold at Bolton because they are cashing in on a couple, but I don't see why Newcastle would want yet another forward.

I hear that the Alan Irvine to Preston link is becoming pretty strong. It's got to be done properly because of the links between the clubs, but the signs are that he fancies it and they certainly fancy him.

Burnley are down to a final two...watch that space in the next few hours.

I texted in for Chicko, but the lines had already closed and I still had to pay for the text. :(

Now why would PNE ever think Irvine was good management material? If ever it was a case of simply picking a name out of a hat, that's it.

I think that's a bit harsh. Moyes was promoted from within, Billy Davies was promoted from within and both did better than experienced managers like Craig Brown and Paul Simpson.

Irv is a smart lad, found and coached some decent kids for Rovers a decade ago and deserves his chance. Whether he is a boss or not remains to be seen, but he deserves his chance.

That kind of backs up what I said. Moyes and Davies were known to PNE, - they saw both of them first hand, before giving them a job. They have no idea whatsoever, whether Irvine has it in him to manage.

Moyes had never managed before he got Preston, Davies had only worked in Scotland. Irvine has had six years in the Premier League. It's not exactly picking a name out of a hat...

Nicko are you still mates with Elton Welsby?

And what's he up to these days? I just seem to recall you giving him bits of info when he had his own radio show (century?)?

See him at Everton games, he works for their TV station. A top pro, very knowledgeable on his football and should be working on bigger and better things than that - especially when you see some of the clowns around.

Nicko, is there any chance you could let us in on the 2 Burnley candidates? Owen Coyle & Darren Ferguson?

Owen Coyle and Peter Reid may be a better shout...
