Anyone know if Latte Lah will be playing this game or not?

Well, he played and scored yesterday so I guess if nothing changes he will

I love Mowbray and wouldn't mind him back but i still haven't forgot about that new years day debacle at Southend the one i missed the party for.

It was 2007, i'm sure you should be over it now

Don't take it to heart, I don't and I've had quite literally hundreds go up in smoke. Best not to ask why or take it personally and just get on with things  .

We're just determined you never get to 10,000 posts, its a plot against you

Yet again another post of mine disappears without trace...this one was about Tony Mowbray turning us down because he was only offered a season ending contract. It was comedical, so why is it removed.?

If you have an issue with anything then as stated in the forum rules send one of us a message instead of moaning on the forum.

Maybe time a few of you had another read of the rules.

Who in the name of Hades is TB?
Using abbreviations should be banned unless it’s one everyone knows such as CC.
On question of midfield, we need someone like MP or BH both of whom would solve our creativity issues.
😜

Totally agree, using abbreviations or initials is just lazy.

Folks time to start typing properly, yes the "despot" has spoken

Does anybody seriously think Reyes Cleary is anything over than an extremely average lower league player? Liam Delap? are we serious….

Don't see where he was comparing the two players, he was just pointing out that some players need a few loans. Harry Kane is another who had loans before making it at Spurs and no I am not comparing him to either of the two players mentioned previously.

I don't know what you do for a living Gaz, but you sound as though you have a responsible position, so I'll ask you this question.

You are given a choice of two jobs, both which involves leading a team to hit a performance target. One job lets you chose your team members, the other doesn't. Which job are you going to chose?

Its pretty standard these days that clubs choose the players and the Head Coach (not Manager) is expected to work with them.

Football is not the same as any other business.

I've checked again Steve Coopers CV - cut his teeth as Liverpool academy coach and cites Barcelona B coach as his inspiration on tactics.

Someone said he is on gardening leave so assume we would have to offer him a lump sum to forgo his salary which is akin to compensation...so that rules him out then!

Shilen's influence at Bologna has worked wonders so I'm trusting him to get it right.

He signed a 3 year deal in June 24 so I guess for him to accept a job he gives up any compensation right from Leicester but I would guess we have nothing to pay them either. It leaves him secure enough to wait for the right job.

I'll re-sort this poll again.

I might have talks with Oldbury over some wages but these talks might fall down when it gets to my assistants Mark and Dexy. 

For what you do you should be paying me

Didn't all the coaching staff leave with Corberan?

Brunt is the Loans Manager, Myhill is the reserves goalkeeping coach and Abella is the only one who was involved with the first team but as an analyst not an actual coach.

Seems some want to turn the forum into a playground lately with childish comments, petty squabbling and posting general tat.

Plenty of posts have been removed and if it carries on the posters concerned will follow.

There's plenty of groups on social media that seem to have no rules, we do, follow them!!

I wasn't aware he was manager or how long he has been there but Richard Sneekes is managing Rushall Olympic who are bottom of the National League North, I believe Ex Baggie Youth Sam Mantam/Om was playing for them

Sneekes was reappointed in December, he was manager there a few years ago as well

For this season he has now played for two clubs, so he either stays with us or goes back to Wycombe

Very much doubt he will be going back as they have signed a left footed central defender in the last few days Anders Hagelskjaer

Darren Ferguson is a miserable joyless git. Pass it on  .

I agree with his reasons for not bringing on Tyler Young, they were 1-0 down until stoppage time, the kids hardly figured all season so not as though a regular even as a sub.

Sean Dyche reportedly sacked by Everton, few hours before tonights game, strange timing.

Jose Mourinho the favourite to take over.
