Now if that's not a deliberate ploy to sell £5 programmes I don't know what is!

Billy Davies was, the time lines work out

Supposedly Paul Jewell and there were rumours about Billy Davies being offered the job too. Jewell was aparently happy at Wigan, while Davies didn't like the set up and wanted to be manager as well as head coach. They were two of the rumoured names.

Club also sort of adding weight to the fact that Dowie didnt leave that lot with the intention of coming to us.......

Did anyone else notice that the advertised job was "manager" and Dowie was appointed "head coach"?

No need for Titanic links!!

It was AFKA.

Mrs Bartram answered the phone call and told RM that AFKA was no longer interested ... because she knew it would spell the end of her girls' night out on Saturdays.

She then she got a computer-literate friend to cobble together a quick generic rejection-letter, so AFKA wouldn't realise.

if she could work the computer properly, i might of believed that !
