Where is this coming from? If this is from me calling Suhail pretending to be Steve Bruce's agent...then it's funny and concerning in equal measure.

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/steve-cooper-nottingham-forest-blackburn-mls-premier-league-b2293701.html That's my concern with Cooper. He's dealt with clowns before.

Not sure why people are so anti-Edwards. Took Forest Green Rovers up as champions. They've finished bottom of league one and then bottom of league two after he left. You can ignore the Watford bit - sacked before he had a chance. Then he took Luton Town to the Premier League with a budget smaller than ours. Even though they got relegated they were the best performing side of the promoted teams. Seemed to have gone stale this season, but the rest of his record is good.

Exactly. Mutual consent is essentially a sacking. If Rovers sacked Kean - they had to pay him 12 months salary (from memory). If Kean resigned he had to pay us 12 months salary. Hence mutual consent coming in and a meeting in the middle. I'm convinced Postecoglu has wanted to get sacked for months.

If we aren't sounding out Cooper, Allardyce and Dyche before we approach anyone else, we are getting it wrong IMO. If none of them are interested, we go to list two with the likes of Edwards, Duff, Buckingham, Challinor, O'Neil, Martin etc. Eventually we get to list 38 with Kean, Coyle and Fritzl on it.

I think they are AI generated odds. Gives an idea of the names that may be in the frame though. I bet JDT wasn't even mentioned when the odds first came out before he was appointed. I think there was barely a market for Eustace as he was appointed so quickly.

This. I liked a post match interview on social media that he did once so they always appear on my feed now. He says it like it is.

I'm not saying I want him particularly, but he'd certainly not be eaten alive by those two. I feel he's quite outspoken.

I just asked Alexa if Allardyce would enjoy hammering it into Gueye for 90 mins. She preferred not to answer that question.

He was at Accy Stanley last Wednesday for the U21 game

It'd be a glorious end to Venky's ownership. Venkys hating Allardyce comes back and leads us to a 1-0 play-off final win against Burnley. Converted centre half Makhtar Gueye scoring a header from a corner where he's man marking James Trafford. Big Sam emerges from the Wembley tunnel at full time with Steve Kean's head on a stick. Venkys decide they've had enough and fuck off.

This is a problem with the game. There's so much money in it and the players just line their pockets. How on earth can clubs the size of Manchester United be struggling to make money with the turnover they have? Because players wages are disgusting. It's unsustainable.

I enjoyed watching Kargbo yesterday. I've forgotten what it looked like to see a player take on a man for pace. Used to Dolan spinning around and tripping over his own feet

Do you think record breaking defeats would make them care? It wouldn't bother them.

Well I've just phoned Suhail from a withheld number claiming to be Steve Bruce's agent. He was having none of it. Suggested I text him my details as my phone number wasn't appearing 😂

My current feelings on a replacement: Yes pile: Dyche, Martin, Duff, Cooper, Edwards, Carsley, O'Neil, Ismael Maybe: Hughes, Critchley, Harris No thanks: Evatt, Bruce, Warnock, Warne, Gerrard, Rooney, Lowe I know which pile we are most likely to appoint from.

Anyone know what Judan Ali is up to these days? He's usually included in the betting when this job comes up

Well this is looking like a good shout!

Interesting that Eustace has had the lowest win percentage of our managers in recent years (excluding Coyle). JDT's percentage is staggering considering how bad a run we were on towards the end of his reign.

My son wanted to get autographs and pictures with players today (he's 11). Most of the players were very accommodating and friendly. Adam Forshaw walked past and I told my lad not to bother. Can't see him being here next season. Nothing signing.

I spoke to a Derby fan today who was at Pride Park on Friday for an event and the word there was that Eustace was pretty much a done deal before weekend. I also spoke to Damien Johnson today and asked him if he fancied the job. "Hmmmmm....let's just hope he stays" was his response. Super Atko also said "there is definitely something going on in there now" after the game. I get the impression they're making a desperate last ditch attempt to persuade him to stay. Personally disappointed to see him go, but on the flip side our league form has been poor and there are plenty of decent names available at present. Every time a Championship job becomes available at present I've always been impressed with the names linked to it. I'd take any of Dyche, Edwards, Cooper, Duff and probably even Carsley. Whether any of them are mad enough to come here is a different question. I've seen £500k mentioned as the compensation figure for Eustace. I've seen a previous manager's contract and the compensation was set at 12 months salary - so presume Eustace is on circa £10k per week and that's the sort of budget we'd have for a new boss (and preferably an unattached one).

I don't think you can judge anyone for getting sacked by Watford.

I thought Dunn was excellent when he came on. He sits in front of the back four and is happy playing one or two touch passes. He got exposed a couple of times on the break with his lack of size and pace but you'd think he would improve as he gets older. He's got a great left foot on him and he's a different build to his dad.

Mass brawl to finish the game now 😂

Late winner for Bilbao. Header from a corner.
