Is there any chance of this happening BEFORE the any Les successor is named though?

I don't think you should stop there...

Hopefully this mornings events at least rules out Bruce coming in.

AC Milan isn't it?

Wise & Basset back. The prodigal sons.

Mitchell's speciality is recruitment though. I'm not sure I trust anyone on the board to recruit somebody really effective. We'll probably end up jumping into bed with a Super Agent which seems to be the way nowadays.

Yeah. Results were good too. I was led to believe (by somebody very reliable) that that was the case.

Off to Milan isn't he? We'll probably end up with Curbishley. Yup. 100%.

Les's mate from what I gather who was the reason Dodd & Williams left.

I think, in the near future, he's actually safer. Les's replacement would likely have to sack him & choose a successor. Thing is, there's nobody on the board who know anything about football (other than Wilson) & even that is certainly questionable!

There's no doubt Les was being slowly phased out, when you consider that aside from the Fans Forum (which he'd been avoiding for years) he was barely seen in club media.

The biggest scapegoat to leave since Eric Black. We missed a trick by not going for Dan Ashworth, IMO. Who the hell is going is going to pick the new guy? Ross Wilson is effectively picking his boss?

Very good on CM97/98.

Great write-up. Sad but true. (The only bit I disagree with is I'm sure we're going down this season).

2 that publically did were Austin (who's been woeful) & Tadic who left for Ajax

I posted last week how I'd start him over Moi & give him a run of games.

Pep called him the best corner taker in the Prem.

I try & look at us from that perspective too & when I view us through that lens, I see us as a team like Swansea & Sunderland - A team who recruited badly & who's manager that kept them up the previous season isn't the man for the following season.

Doesn't Hughes have a better Prem reputation than Bruce?

Completely irrelevant as we lost 6-1, but how many stoppage time goals do we concede?!

Ings plays best with Long? #Positives

What the f*ck happened to 3 at the back?

I'm desperate. I'd appoint Big Sam.

Good finish from Hoedt. Wrong end though. City 1-0 Saints
