If Doug was serious about this club and wanted to win the fans back, he'd sign him. £70mill is the reported figure, with our sell on fee it'll only be £65mill. Great bargain Reckon we'd win the champ with him, some kids and season ticket holders playing, so we'll just sell the first team to...

Whilst I like the 5 ATB we were playing I think Frank comes in and we play a 4-3-3. Collins MvE Lats Binks Bidwell Sheaf Eccles Torp Sakamoto SImms EMC

Why would being advised by Harry Redknapp be a bad thing? Sure there's a conflict of interest between Redknapp wanting Lampard to get the job but it's hardly a stretch that he would be in the frame if Redknapp wasn't advising. It's not like Doug's appoint Redknapp's cleaner because she left...

Got as much credit as 'real' journos

Have seen a lot of people saying they wouldn't want him etc.. Think it completely changes when it's clear he wants to be here. Man United greatest manager of all time statistically - 100% win rate

United Journalist Sam C is reporting that Ruud has applied for the Job...

I took that as they'd applied. Either way an actual journo has linked them to the job which has to be stronger link that a few blokes on twitter saying they'd like Ruud.

Tom Collomosse said he had - Also said Eustace was in the frame

Bookies odds are shite for next manager. Who is seriously betting on the next Coventry boss? Need to be looking towards the guys we know have applied - Lampard, Boa Morte and Skubala. Would be surprised if Skubala didn't at least get an interview and he's no where to be seen on the odds.

Is this place stuck on a 12 month loop? @Nick you need to see if you can reboot these users. They seem to have changed the wording from Simms and Wright 12 months ago to BTA and Bassette.

If Doug can learn anything from this debacle it's how much power Andy Turner has. He is the only journo who regularly reports on us and as a fan base he's still a very credible source. The whole loans and refusing to sign players over 30 criticism that Doug and Dean got could all have been...

Can't find it. It was a podcast with our previous head of analytics talking about how he used football manager to help Guinea-Bissau find players who were dual-nationality and call them up.

Our old chief analyst did a lot of work with Guinea-Bissau I think. Let me see if I can find the video... Was a really interesting watch ( I thought)

Not in the smallest bit surprised by over 70 applicants. Big club, big fan base, cash to spend and a good playing squad. Would expect 75% of championship manager would swap there shirts, let alone anyone who's out of work or in league 1!

I worry that with Doug's forum today we will learn very little if people don't actually think about what they want to know. Sure we'd all like to know what the trigger was for Robins to go but we don't need 6 different supports clubs asking variations of it. We need to know information that...

I remember at the start of October there were clowns on here claiming we'd do well to breakeven on him after this start. Please note that isn't just against Cov strikers, that's against all strikers in the league. We have our next £20million player... (provided this injury isn't too bad)

I'd be happy with loans for CM and CB in Jan. Squad seems to be packed with talent and we should only spend money if the right deal arises. We're in a fortunate position of having depth and not needing panic signings. Traditionally prices are always inflated in Jan so would rather we didn't...

Some player we've picked up.

Probably trying to recruit them early into his Northern gang...

A bidding war would be nice... All the noise was around PSG 2 weeks ago, Man City last week and United this week! All have stronger 'links' than Arsenal did in the summer as well.
