Do you seriously believe everything people say in football?!? Hughes would have been a bit daft to announce he's applying for the Rovers post on the eve of a crucial world cup qualifier. I thought he adnt applied??? What are you on about now numbnuts?

That settles it then! Don't knock him, he knows Chelsea TV insiders too you know?

Is Sam Sneed related to Hughesy in any way?

Calm down lads, theres a meeting at ewwod to discuss rights to the Deanocard™ today, I think SKY are running a feature on it.

Says Junior Jackanory himself

Heard from who? I saw Albert Hovis on his delivery rounds earlier and he said it's gonna happen today. His oven-bottom muffins are far better than Warburtons too

And did you see HOW he said it the clown?!? Laughing like Everton are a billion light years ahead of us on all fronts!

Not exactly. It says they 'believe' he has which is pretty much all they write in the LET these days, they used to deal in facts when Peter White was still about

Who told you that? Preston are revealing their new manager before the next game aren't they?

And someone named after toilet activity Mr ######, sorry waz

You've obviously put some thought into this then Flopsy. I imagine Strachen could work wonders with Sealdinho

Erm, Glenn Hoddle

Out of interest what has Dowies attitude toward the youth team been? Has he brought many young players through?

Well Williams himself stated in the LET that a number of the applicants are already employed in top jobs so I guess it makes sense. Wonder who the 3 could be though?!? - Worthington - Redknapp - Dowie Actually ###### it could be anyone bar the ones who are obviously out of our league.

Now then that's a bit unfair! On the basis that Emerton was a cracking player at his previous club and he's also looked good for the Aussie team, maybe, just maybe SOuness wasn't getting the best out of him. Emerton is one of the players who's progress I'm looking forward to under the new boss.........

Poor Kieron Dyer. Wouldn't play slightly out of position for sir Bobby, how will the arrogant little tit like playing as a sweeper behind Shearer and Robert?

Feel a sense of relief about him leaving at the moment. We've been stuck in a rut for a while now, the wheels were spinning away but we weren't getting out of it to be honest. Unfortunately for NUFC fans I can see him definitely falling out with the stronger characters in the dressing room, the likes of Dyer, Robert & Shearer spring to mind. No hard feelings towards Souness however, I respect him for the good things he acheived at our club. He's certainly got his work cut out with the massive expectations of the barcodes fans and sorting another dodgy defence out.

No more "souness' Blue n White army" being sung from the Blackburn end then eh? How will we cope? Lets just find some geezer with a really bizzarre name that won't fit in with the chant

Shearer said he wasn't ready to manage a team yet didn't he when linked with the Newcastle job?

I must not know much either then Strachan for me too.

What about Paul Sturrock?

Bulk order of Kleenex for JimMk2 please Bye Graeme, no hard feelings but I think it's time for a change at Ewood providing we get the right replacement.....

Exactly. Jansen could, and would IMO offer more to our first team than Boothroyd.

Exactly. God knows why Matt thinks he should stay here to have 'one last shot' at resurrecting his career with us, he never gets a frigging chance. Is this Matt 'I'm a idiot who most likely broke the rules of my contract by riding a moped' Jansen Why does he deserve another chance, he's shown nothing For a club in our situation it makes sense to give one of our best players in recent years another shot at the big time. I'm not denying he made a silly mistake, that's clear for anyone to see but how we'd benefit from a few flashes of the 'old Matt'. He hasn't had the chance to 'show anything' because he's been bundled in with the stiffs, he'll NEVER get back to his best doing that.
