It sounds like we have Derek Shaw to thank for that policy.

Carvalhal was willing to entertain the idea of managing Rovers, let that sink in. If they don't appoint someone better they've f***ed up yet again.

If true, Farke having to have a second interview is a joke. Coyle met with Balaji and that was that. Decent managers come along and they have to jump through hoops. Having to work with the coaching team and not being allowed to bring their own staff in has got to be up there with Venkys most idiotic decisions. And I guarantee that whatever useless tosspot gets the job will be bringing in their own yes men anyway within 6 months.

It depends on how you look at it. Farke hasn't managed in L1 or at a large Scottish club like Celtic, and most of his losses were in the PL. Mowbray's had 7 clubs, Farke has had 2 (Krasnodar doesn't count). Farke has won the Championship twice in recent times. Mowbray did it once in 2008. Carvalhal almost managed promotion a couple of times.

I have no idea how well Duncan Ferguson would do as he’s only managed 5 football matches. Won 1 Lost 1 Drawn 3 How you can possibly judge someone either way I don’t know. Same with Beale. So would I put one of these people in charge of my multi million £££ business that for financial reasons needs success? No.

We definitely won't do that, he's reported to have been on £5.2m a year.

The last time that happened Warnock was cancelled and we got Coyle.

Steve Kean would be the perfect fit for a lot of your fans. Can we get a campaign going?

It's such a false economy for the money they lose year after year.

I hope so. There's some decent candidates out there at the moment. If we go for someone because of their record with youth development, rather than their ability to win football matches, the future looks very bleak. I'd expect a very expensive sacking midway through the season and gateway to a scrapheap appointment when it all goes wrong.

I also missed off... First job so will do as he's told. Thinking about it, it would be a terribly cynical move by Venkys and proof that they still have no clue how to quell the debt. Employing someone purely to develop youth players and sell them on. F*** promotion. F*** sake.

Costs a lot - check. Managerial experience nil - check. Another novice - check. Massive risk - check. That's our man.

Swift, the player I was told would definitely go to a lower/mid PL club in January?

Mercer has laid his money down, we're definitely getting one of them!

I've lived in Sheffield where I was forced to endure "breadcakes". A barmcake is a step up from that gibbering lunacy. If you're taking requests though, an oven bottom muffin for me please.

I fancy a chip barmcake now.

They dropped without him and now they’ll need to bounce back without him. I don’t think they will.

Still daft to sack Dyche as they’ve gone from a very good championship manager to the unknown.

Phase 1 complete Agent Pace.

I went through every emotion, and when Liverpool scored how awful was that? Then when the news started filtering through about Utd I couldn't believe it. The homecoming was amazing. I was in the Blackburn End.

So we wait till July for his contract to expire then he decides he doesn't want to come here. In the meantime any decent out of work managers get snapped up. That's the usual script isn't it?

Is the Grayson rumour based on people taking bets or any truth?

Hughton would be a bad appointment according to Forest fans.

I can vouch for that, myself and J*B heard it straight from the horses mouth. Nothing to do with Kean that one.
