Make sure you get your consultancy fee chaddy....JHC.....

One thing is for sure, our current full backs (Pickering and JRC) are well below the standard required. That's before we look at the threadbare CH department.

Dunn scored a hat trick of penalties

It's a strange one with Cantwell, I rated him very highly just over a season ago but he has regressed sharply. Looks like all his confidence has just gone. I wonder if we could help David Brooks rehabilitation on loan from Bournemouth? He was some player before his illness.

Heard that is the least of their worries and that they may be facing an embargo due to some dodgy dealing.

Appleton is a shite appointment for Blackpool. They could be in big trouble this season.

How anyone can have even an ounce of confidence in the new manager after such an appalling recruitment process is beyond me. It's an utter disgrace.

We'd have ripped them for Critchley's appointment way back when though and that didn't turn out badly - at least they have shown some clarity in their decision making. It's certainly more than the fucking idiots down at Ewood have. And, there's also an assumption we'll get better than Rosenior? I'd have that at 50/50 at best.

I think a more pertinent question is 'why would Rooney risk his growing reputation at a basket case of a club like ours?'

Why would any self respecting manager take this job when you have Pongo Lowe ratting you out to Suhail every chance he gets. Gonna go out on a limb here, whoever we do get is going to be shite and I doubt the new DoF lasts a year.

So, in the last week, we have added about a dozen names to the 'shortlist', Merce has lost his house on Duncan Ferguson, Nicko has released 3 generic scoops and we've appointed an alien as DOF.

"Well if there's a presser planned I suppose I'd better have my annual shower"

I went in there before the UEFA cup game. One of the lads who came with us was a Rangers/Rovers fan and had The Sash as his ringtone. Got a little hairy when his wife rang him.

Always remember Unsworth when he was caretaker manager for a while at Everton. Wore the suit, did every bit of press he could, talked up the owners and players while refusing to rule himself out for the permanent role even though he shouldn't have even been near the conversation. Unfortunately for him the performances and results were dogshit and he had zero support from the fans so was rightly binned off. I also remember the suggestion his longevity at the club was down to his close relationship with Kenwright and nothing to do with any coaching talent. Also recall a Joey Barton tweet absolutely slating him in this regard as being 'up Kenwright's arse'. Definitely one to avoid.

What chance has this club got when the one unsackable staff member is Pongo Lowe. Only the desperate and cheap will rock up while he is literally stinking the place out, he is the cockroach that survives the apocalypse. What a clusterfuck......

One thing is for sure, there'd be plenty of room.

Well said. In my experience corporate is bollocks, too many levels in decision making and too HR led to get anything done.

'Footballing strategy'.....Jesus Christ.

Yep, it appears that Kean is the man. This is the leftfield appointment we were all dreading as the Venky's believe he has matured since leaving. The Sport's leading Championship correspondent Bertie O'llocks is breaking it tomorrow.

There's been some shite suggested on here over the past month but David fucking Unsworth?? The Z list is here.

That'll be Tony fucking Bellew

I mean Jon Moss is a dreadful referee but even VAR haven't picked that up? Unbelievable.... And another one not given...you could be forgiven for thinking this is corrupt

That second para should fill everyone with dread.

Never mind all this, when is Pongo Lowe getting potted?

It was the Chinese on the main road I was there. Heard him order a number 4, 4, f###ing 2
