One thing very evident from Wednesday 6-1 bollocking was the devestating pace of Arsenal's attackers and once we tired in the second half their pace killed us leaving Arsenal to almost score at will. We haven't had that sort of pace in our forward line since Michael Mifsud and although a very...

Headed this way ? Been Mark Robins's assistant at both his previous clubs older than MR (about 60) and is seen as a bit of a mentor to Robins. Be interesting in the light of the way things happened this week, no money, have to work with current staff according to Waggott then hey presto a first...

I have detected some veiled citicism for Mark Robins on his love of loaning in players. My take is if you have little or in our case no money and Barnsley probably fell into that stall too and you can't buy, you have to borrow. The secret is getting the right loanees in and getting them to...

Spat between councillor Mutton and councillor Foster over confidentiallty agreement on plans to allow sisu some sort of ownership or deal of the Ricoh. I hope Foster stays firm on this, no matter what sisu must not be allowed any slice of that arena. It is the football clubs only bargaining tool...

Not read all the threads on Robins but i'm certain there will be a number of negatives. In the end i didn't know who i prefered, i would of liked Aladdin and his lamp really. Now we have Robins i hope we give time there but there will be some on here who will expect Barcelona type performances...

Been listening all day to discussions on various radio stations on the possible ramifications of yesterdays developments regarding the Hillsborough disaster. It is pretty clear the families are going to pursue all at fault. Apart from the obvious it looks like Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield...

I am getting the feeling fans favourite for the Sky Blue hotseat Dennis Wise will be overlooked, maybe not even interviewed. Big risk for Fisher and friends commercially. Wise would increase gates by a couple of thousand initially atleast and if he gets us anywhere near challenging that figure...

Talk filtering out of the City camp is that there are 2 serious candidates being considered, both ex-players one has been a manager, one hasn't and Shaw isn't one of them. There's a number of ex-City who have been a manager rumoured to be interested but who could the other be if true. Although...

What an opportunity for supporters to show Fisher and co what they think about what has been done to this proud club of ours. Apparently tickets are like rocking horse shit. Selectively issued. BUT it is being held at the Standard club Tile Hill, nice pint there. So come along and help prop the...

So we now have a shortlist, who do you think is on it ? Lets assume there are 5 names on it so i reckon 1. Richard Shaw, obviously 2. Dennis Wise 3. Kevin Blackwell 4. Paul Ince 5. Dion Dublin, Just a hunch, bit of a long shot, but you never know I'll put a sixth OTIS

Just had a phone call from a mate (ex-player) who told me to put a tenner on Southgate. I love all this speculation every 18 months or so.

Does an exciting and unexpected win against higher league opponents make Richard Shaw a good manageriel prospect anymore than a 1-0 defeat yesterday puts him out of the running, should the width of a cross bar influence a decision, the bar was hit in both games which in either game possibly...

Award winning Journalist Mike Calvin gave a big endorsement regards Richard Shaw on the Keys/Gray slot on Talk Sport at about 10.50am. Apart from being a reporter he is a Millwall fan and said he had spoken to Shaw many times during his period there and has high regard for him as a football...

Loved his interview and i know it is easy having won but lets forget this must have experience bollox We are a third division club, David Moyes, Tony Pulis, Big Sam, Paul Lambert and Nigel Atkins all started in that division.

Is it me ? but everytime i hear that man speak i feel physically ill. I don't believe anything that comes out of that mans mouth. We now have money apparently and in a better position as we have been for ages. The club have just got rid of most of our better players and recruited a number of...

A lot of speculation as to who we should go for and would certain out of work managers be interested or hang on for atleast a championship club (there will be a number of sackings in that league) Well i think the Coventry job is very attractive, the ground, it's top flight history and even if...

Lets look at facts, SISU are skint, no money. Sacking Thorn will cost them a years wages atleast my guess is about £200k. So why sack him and then appoint Shaw or Carsley ? Could have moved AT to the side and just carried on paying him weekly, even stop his rolling contract and let it run down...

Let me start the IMO removing Andy Thorn as manager was inevitable, apart from many things 5 points from 27 is evidence itself things needed changing. But he was asked to manager a club, his first ckub with his hands tied and it is obvious things happened behind the scenes to complicate things...

We have had them, plenty of them in recent years, Peter Reid, Mickey Adams, Iain Dowie, Ady Boothroyd all had oudles of experience won promotions, got to semi-finals. None a lot of good to be honest okay in fits and starts but eventually not a lot of good. Those saying no to new kids on the...

Watched the Chelsea game last night and have to say what a good player Eden Hazard looks, has to be at 32 million i suppose. But it shows what good direct wingers bring to a team. All the best teams i have seen here have all had 2 wingers who are comfortable on the ball, pacey and give width. I...
