    Pep Clotet named caretaker head coach at Brum, but their not looking for anyone else! Perhaps he's break the Bowyer record for being a caretaker

    Kent online are now reporting that Steve Evans is favourite for the Doncaster job. That would be a quick turn around.

    One thing Steve Evans isn’t capable of is a quick turn around.

    That means he'll sign a new deal tomorrow.

    Not a dissimilar situation to Bowyer's really. Wants to stay, adored by fans, but an incompetent owner not backing the manager is making his job much more difficult than it should be. Thankfully in our case Bowyer did decide to stay but it could easily have gone the same way as Newcastle.

    Fair play to him for standing firm.
    Back at the start of the year it was reported he said he wanted in writing that he had funds for transfers available before signing a new deal.
    Mike Ashley said he could have it in writing once he had signed his new contract  :D

    I've seen people on here say they'd welcome Ashley as our new owner. More competent than Roland but still a massive "no" from me.

    Garry Monk is the early favourite.
    Interestingly, Curbs is 33/1  ;)

    would Bowyer be in the frame for the Newcastle job?

    Alan Pardew to go back and serve as Manager and complete the 8th year of his contract. 

    What could possibly go wrong ?

    I can't see this working, even Curb 'n Gritty were split up. Besides Ant has Priory commitments.

    according to today's paper he could move to China on £12 Million a year .. his departure, when it happens, is a major blow to Newcastle

    To be fair to Ashley he has always said whatever money the club makes they can spend but that he cannot bankroll any more funds.

    Is it so bad to expect them to live within their means.
    it must be a not inconsiderable amount that they generate Each year.

    Ashley is more competent than The Douche, but he is at least as bad a person and owner. He demands an actual profit each year and usually gets it. They have been relegated twice in his tenure. Newcastle has turnover in the PL that routinely ranks 7th-8th and attendances that equal Liverpool but their TOTAL net transfer budget the last 3 seasons combined according to Transfermarkt is minus £8M! That ranks dead last among the teams currently in the PL and behind at least half a dozen teams in The Championship. He uses the stadium to advertise his company, Sports Direct, without a fee, costing the club millions in money each year and he refuses to upgrade their training ground, which is woefully behind the curve. He regularly claims the club is for sale, this is the 5th straight year it has been for sale when STs go on sale and then magically, it falls-through once the season nears and the money has come in. Finally, he has siphoned off the part of the stadium ground that would have been used to expand St. James Park and plans to build a hotel there, meaning there is no way to expand down the line. Oh, and his statement about Rafa going? He released it without telling Rafa talks were over. Defines the word cnut.

    I assume Holly will step in while Ant's away...

    Derby have granted Chelsea permission to speak to Lampard about the managers job.

    4m compensation will do nicely, they'll get a new man in and still finish between 6-9th.

    Ridiculous media love-in for Lampard. Nothing against the bloke, but his performance has been no more and no less than "satisfactory - he's taken a side with roughly the 6th highest budget in the Championship and finished 6th. Bowyer, Wilder and Nathan Jones/Mick Harford are streets ahead in terms of performance in relation to budget.

    Not to mention they beat Leeds at Elland Road in the Semi-Finals because the Goalkeeper decided to head for the HT tunnel a bit early

    So agree. Can we get good odds he is gone From Chelsea by 6/30/20?

    He spent next to nothing though, he recouped more than he spent and got by from using the loan market well to get in Mount, Wilson and Tomori.

    The signings he spent money on were all offset by selling Vydra and Wiemann.

    Agreed that Derby were not really much better off though, they're always in the top 10.
