Oh come on! Surely he can afford a season ticket on the train from Macclesfield? What were Wales paying him in? Leeks?!

Bombay is now known as Mumbai, but I'm fairly certain you can still call it Bombay?

It's teh Hughesy Worm - you're best off just shutting down and forgetting about it!

Really? News to me!

It's a lower case "c" if you look properly and pronounced keltic instead of seltic. So the Celtic Race isn't a definite article then? Ooops, my mistake, was using it in that sense. But at least I didn't think that Martin O'Neil sits in the Welsh Assembly! Apologies Alan, I thought the Celts were Irish/ Scottish only. Stand corrected.

Am I right in thinking that he may not have been dithering, but was waiting to be asked? How does anyone really know what's going on anyway, time to judge is when one of the parties actually says something in public. I didn't know the Welsh were Celtic?!

If he doesn't need a "mentor figure" at international level, why have one at club level?

Nice status!

Qatari man stuck in music shop in Lyme Regis!

Don't be so harsh on the little fellow, let's have a Hughesy forum! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! I appoint myself moderator - post away Mr Hughesy!

Keith Newton was on teh right back list, although I thought he played left back? (Having said that, I voted for him thinking that I must be losing my memory ...)

Souness quote: "Nobody can manage this club being a shrinking violet," said Souness. "You need somebody with stature and personality. A guy wouldn't survive here if he didn't have something about him." "and if you have anything about you ..."

"top the pole" What, like a maypole?

I live nowhere near Blackburn but can confirm ... nothing at all. However, I have heard that Strachan's been seen in Morecambe Bay with some Chinese Cocklers and ... (shall we play "chain sentences"?)

"Iain Dowie's Blue and White Army" don't sound right. Substitute "Head of the Daleks" for "Iain Dowie" and it sounds a bit better. Similarly Moyes, Hughes, Allashite, Newell ... none of tehm fit. So it's either "king Kenny" or the head of the Daleks.

Just get Dowie in ASAP. I like Hughes, but I can't be doing with soemone who has split loyalties. Moyes hasn't been approached as far as I know, so for me it has to be Dowie. Sooner the better, I don't really want TP picking another team. Who would be next for a recall, Peacock and Ward?!

Like Batman and Robin? "Hughesy, ya dinner's ready!" "Thanks Mikey! Dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner! Welshman! Holy Halloween, leek omelette!"

If Newell would be happy to give up his managerial career to become our coach, he is devoid of all ambition. I'm sure he didn't set out on his managerial career with the ultimate aim of being a coach in the Premiership. What makes you think he'd make an able coach? And do you think Hughes would be happy to be told who he should have as coach? Someone who (quite possibly) he's never met before?

Shirt Dave, you've just shattered the stereotype of the no-nonsense Aussie, blue! All this time spent frustrated, when I should've been concentrating on moving my legs faster!

I didn't realise we had a sports physiologist on here! Cuidado, could you help me get my 10K time down, please?!

- Been lauded as being one of the brightest young managers in the game (whilst at Preston). - Never been in charge of a relegated club. - Left a club in a far better state than he found it in. - Coped with ridiculous pressures when in charge of a Premiership club and thrived on it. Neither manager has set the Premiership alight, but I do think Moyes would be a better choice.

"Alan Shearer - he's a proper person ..."

I see no reason for people to go a bundle on Strachan, his pedigree is not hugely impressive. Unfortunately the pool of managers we have to pick from has no obvious "magic bullet" candidate. That's without an inside knowledge of the game. I still maintain Moyes is the best we could go for. Who knows, perhaps there's a lot of subterfuge going on and teh appointment will shock everyone as it's a big name not mentioned in the press whom we have poached from another club. Probably not.

Well done, you're halfway there. Missing component is that we spend more than we have. That is how you end up bankrupt.

Oh no it won't! The Lord help us if that clueless Clueso arrives. We'll be signing Carlos Kickaball and Hannanah Alaboogoo for ridiculous fees. He's bankrupt us and take us down. Take your red spex off.
