Stokes next manager will be either Poyet, Martinez or Hughes.
Rafa and di matteo are too good to be stoke manager and rafa has better options. If rafa wants to stay in prem then I think he may go stoke and I think di matteo could go stoke if he too wants to stay in prem but I doubt it as stoke are not a good enough prospect.
Poyet could be as he wants to manage in the prem and has been suspended from brighton.
Hughes could be cause he's favourite and knowing stoke and coates he will get appointed.
Martinez because he would have decided today if he wants to stay at wigan he wants to wait next week to see if stoke or everton have talks with him

Cant wait for Wigan to prove all the doubters wrong next season. Martinez will stay and willkeep the core of the squad. You heard it here first
Martinez will leave and wigan will be mid table

UEFA are considering offering a CL place to the Europa League winners, as an incentive for what is (for many) a second rate competition. Personally, I think it's a great idea. Clubs who finish 5th in the Premier League might at last take the Europa League seriously, as a possible route to CL football. What do you think Eds? {Ed052's Note - its what should of been happening for a few years IMO}

Just clarifying the James Vaughan situation for Derby County and Huddersfield fans.
Vaughan is on a stag do in Miami.
The player will sit down with his agent and begin negotiations with both clubs after his return. It is likely both clubs will match eachother in terms of wage demands. Obviously representatives at the two clubs will be trying their upmost to sell the club to the player. Huddersfield have the advantage that the player was on loan there and derby have the the bigger fan base and better facilities such as their stadium.
I have seen from tracking this signing that both clubs seem to think they are bigger than the other in terms of ambition, with fierce debate between the two sets of fans.
I can't wait to find out who the player will sign for.
Im a huddersfield fan and nobody I know has claimed we are bigger than derby, we want vaughan to sign for us but have no problem with derby who are a fine club

With Andy carroll Stalling over his future at West Ham, they are turning attentions away from the Geordie hitman. The name Jordan Rhodes has been discussed again but the concern is whether he can cut it in the premier league and if his hold up play, distribution and aerial ability suits West ham style of play. Gary Hooper name has been mentioned however, his aerial ability is questionable and finally Romelu Lukaku has been mentioned to play with Carroll, however, Big Sam only plays with one up front and would Lukaku be willing to warm the bench if Carroll signed also. I somehow doubt it

Perfect solution, it could not happen. could it?
Straight swop Pulis to Wigan, Martinez to Stoke.
Think about it. Pulis proven defensive ability, and he got them out of the Championship, but little to offer in attack.
Martinez. Provides bright exciting attacking game, but selection of defenders quite poor.
Stokes existing defence + Martinez recruits could work.
Pulis's ability to get best out of average players could see Wigan back in top flight soonest.
Both Chairmen like loyal Managers, both Managers like to work with down to earth Chairmen.
What more could either Club want?
More likely though is Martinez to Everton, Pulis if not Wigan will go to another Championship team.

Foster is a center half you person

How can we sign Beattie?, he couldn't get into barnets team, Scott wagstaff would be an amazing but unlikely acquisition
23 May 2013 12:38:28
They can have him if we get Stevie May.
23 May 2013 13:23:27
I wouldn't mind if Jay McEveley left but if he sorted out his crossing during pre season and we can use his experience and I think he would be a decent left back. His crossing and composure is letting him down big time

There are few players on frees that I lersonally would like to see doncaster rovers at least enquire about
Jerome Thomas (LM, West Brom)
Elliott ward (CB, Notts Forrest)
Korey Smith (CM, Norwich)
Simeon Jackson (CF, Norwich)
Lee Camp (GK, Norwich)
Jonathan Stead (CF, Bristol City)
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (CF, Wolves)
Gary Taylor-Fletcher (CF, Blackpool)
John Ryan has said they will look at high profil frees, they won't stump the money up for buying players I'd like to see them putting the moment in for wages and I also understand the players I've suggested might be aiming high but it's always worth asking if they fancy it
Or failing that we should look up north for players, some good ones for free.
Alexander Rangers keeper ex Ipswich
Saunders RB CB Motherwell
Driver LM RM Hearts
Davidson CM St Johnstone
The last three are young enough to sell on if they do well at the level
McFadden LM ROM C. F Motherwell
Boyd C. F Kilmarnock
Last two could get goals there
Worth a year or two deals
