Hughesy

It says he contacted a player. I suspect it to be Barry Ferguson Yes, it did say that. I suspect he was sounding out the clubs attitude towards him, through the player. i.e. asking the player to find out whether it was worth him applying? Should imagine so. Hopefully wont be too long till we have a new boss as all those that blackburn are interested in have already applied so we should be able to get whoever the board have their eye on as 1st choice.

It's cheap - but funny Moyes perhaps? Can't be too happy with events at Everton after all. Moyes was in O' Neils on sunday, the day after Souey went up to talk to Newcastle. If you remember he also said if Rooney is sold then he would go

100/1 on who? Why what did Jim say?

How does anyone on this message board actually know who has actually appied? Or is it just paper talk?

I think Curbs would love the chance because i think its a step up, but not too much of a risky one. This way he is increasing his profile with a slightly bigger club and also setting himself up for a future big move. Say in 4 or 5 years time. We have good finances, a good squad, a decent size ground and a cracking academy. All together with the best supporters in the league ha ha

I agree 100% with that.

Kenny Daglish with Mike Newell as his understudy, or Alan Shearer as the understudy

Friedel says he isnt bothered who comes in aslong as he is a good and ambitious manager.

thats what JW has said. Does he mean Hoddle?? PLEASE Nooooooo.

Agreed with hasts there. So far Hughes is the hot favourite. However i wouldnt be suprised if an outsider or maybe some1 unmentioned may appear alot more in the next few days. Keep your eye on advocat

Advocat is 7/1 now on sky bet. At 8 this morning he was 15/1 and yesterday he was 28/1 Hughes is just saying he doesnt go from speculation and i think that he would take it if offered

Sir Bobby and Newell under his wing. What you think of that?

He's not trying to take credit for those as well is he? Everyone knows they were Alan Murray's doing. Talking of which... I wonder how long it'll be before Souness comes calling for Boersma, Murray and maybe even The Deano himself. According to sky they are to go also

Think we should sing on saturday Wheres our souness gone, Wheres our souness gone, Wheres our souness gone, Wheres our souness gone, Far, far away Far, far away! That will pi$$ them off.

If Rovers were to go for our ex idol who would agree with the move and who would not? I would love him to come back, with either king Kenny or Hughes over him. That would be a dream come true

My grandad was at the academy yesterday on a tour and he spoke to a number of people who works there and they all said not many people wanted souness there as he doesnt give any of the youth a chance anymore. Is Brian McClair in management?

Did Strachan not say he was leaving Southampton to scour Europe and learn new techniques? I think you will find he did. He was simply having a year off to learn more tactical parts of the game. I can honestly say at the moment not 1 person springs to mind who is available and makes me think. Oh yeah I can see us winning things under him.

I pray to God your wrong. I hope we win but Parkes doesnt stay in charge for long

Can we get a poll going for this?

Think we should sing Souness Black and white army on saturday to take the pi$$

Anyone looked on the messageboard of the toon?? 75% aint happy with Souness as manager. Oh dear!!! ha ha Cannot believe we are to get compo too. ha ha magic! Uncle Jacks blue and white army

Have the geordies got a message board with all their views on? As for bothered? No. To be honest he was on his last legs at rovers. And if it was up to some members on here, he would of been gone a long time ago

See the odds here for our new boss So far Strachan is fav, followed by Hughes and Newell. Sky Bet

Wouldnt be suprised if he really changes the team as usual. Jansen will more than likely get his chance under a new manager. Go with an attacking team on saturday and we stand a good chance
