This signing has been overshadowed, to say the least. But on browsing a few Everton forums, It reminded me that they were also trying to sign him. So good write ups on there from Norwegian based toffee's

Seen it popping up on a few Italian twitter feeds throughout the day, although they could have just been rehashing the link from the mirror. I imagine we still hold an interest though.

That link is actually pepping up again.

Blimey, WBA have been utter dog **** tonight - Villa have been good, but they've still thrown it away.

That's made it a bit more interesting, looks like WBA have decided to appear in this half. 1-2.

West Brom look like a joke team.

Neither do we. Did you ignore Wednesday result?...... Don't let the entire managerial change cloud your view of our squad and the performances.

So do we.

Nope, not at all. Stop wumming.

Newcastle are 1-0 up..

Interesting read, cheers for that.

He's an awful manager, I've thought it all along. He was **** at Portsmouth but got a load of reviews for dealing with their sob story, but he made a pretty **** job of dealing with it. He was awful in the small-spell he had at Blackpool and they had a lucky escape, he will be equally as bad at a rudderless Blackburn.

Not sure if you saw, but some fans wrote Adkins in the snow outside SMS - almost within minutes they were ushered away, and a team of people came out of St Mary's to brush it away. Incredibly petty and sad.

Fulham are in it as well, IMO. Newcastle and Sunderland will pull themselves clear before the last few weeks. As it stands - 3 from QPR, Wigan, Reading, Us, Fulham and Villa.

Sunderland lead. I'll take that. They'll be fine, and Wigan are the team who will be rooted down there IMO.

They are, aren't they? Quite fortunate they had their fast start, otherwise they would be well in the ****.

Sunderland equalise.

Where are they saying this? The only comments I've seen are from the sky sports spanish pundit. Where can I find all these other views?

Loic Remy.

Dear Libhermans, Plz reinstate Atkins as our manager, cos I don't like the new Pocthenaicioaooo guy. Seriously though, don't. Just carry on supporting the club, it's still there. I'm as gutted as the next fan, but why protest against something that isn't going to change? Just seems a waste of effort.

Just echoing the view of the majority of neutrals, I'd think.

Our chairman continues to create the platform for such rumours though.

Cortese rarely speaks to anyone, although Jordan Sibley is starting to look like his own mini-me.

It's a tricky one to answer, as you say - none of us really know a great deal about the new guy, so it's hard to get excited or depressed about him either way. I think he'll need to hit the ground running for his sake, a win against Everton would be the perfect start and from that point on I think we could all grow in confidence that the team is still together, and will still continue to improve. That's what I hope will happen, but it's all very up in the air at the moment. Either way though, we're either going to have a storming 2nd half or we'll be relegated. I don't think there will be any middle ground with this one.

I think the players are professional and I can't see any revolts coming from their side. Guys like Davis will be worth their weight in gold at the moment, keeping everyone on-side and prepared as he's done for the last 3 years as club captain. I'm more than a little uneasy at the lack of any English coaches though.
