Colchester boss John Ward has ruled out a move for Crawley striker Matt Tubbs claiming he is "too expensive".(8)(7)I have heard a fee of £350k for Tubbs has formally been agreed for January,Weston Homes Community Stadium will be his new home ground.I met John Ward and asked him about Matt Tubbs and he told me he is too expensive.I have heard JW is interested in Aldershot striker Danny Hylton.

Paul Sturrock will consider his own position at Roots Hall should at least 2 of his most important depart just after Xmas?

A wee birdie told me this is first class information.(6)(7)Wee birdie only exists on shrimperzone not here.

So this is fake. {Ed003's Note - It is a fake rumour no doubt}Actually I'm a football fan that has no allegiance to any Club. But I'am based between Southend and Colchester.

 


23 Oct 2011 23:15:29
Manager Paul Sturrock wants assurances from his Board in the coming weeks that none of his key players will be sold in January.

The suspicion is if he doesn't receive the answers he wants he'll seriously consider jobs at St Johnstone and Plymouth Argyle.

With Plymouth the prefered choice providing their takeover is sealed.(8)(2)

 


23 Oct 2011 21:26:05
Im hearing rumours a Leeds and Wigan are looking at Matt Tubbs. A feek is rumoured to be about 750k.

MK dons will lose Karl Robinson to Bolton when Coyle is sacked next week, MK Dons will go for Steve Evans.

Crawley would then look at Steve Tilson, ex Lincoln or Paul Simpson ex Rochdale and Shrewsbury.(8)(9)


Leeds wont sign tubbs, as much as he is a good player, we have 5/6 strikers so we wont sign any more.And Evans won't go to MK DonsPlease how many times has this rumour been banged around?...leeds have 4 fit quality strikers, no disrespect to tubbs but he wouldnt get a game at leeds

 


23 Oct 2011 20:22:30
Die-hard fans at Southend need to realise they are a small selling club. always have been.Prove me otherwise? I understand your frustrations as the vultures are about to circle from above but Our Budget here at Crawley is a little better than yours at Roots Hall.(7)(5)Yes your budget is bigger but lets see who is laughing come the end of the season

Tubbs will be sold sooner rather then later

Southend have something you tinpot club dont have.

Passion and a good honest manager. You cant say your proud of Evans can you.

Glenn Murray handing in transfer request tommorrow. rumored to hate croydon area(8)(15)

 


23 Oct 2011 18:05:46
Cannot really see Hall arriving here as he is playing at the moment two divisions below himself. By the time next summer comes along , as you say, there will be clubs in the second tier who'll take him on. Surprised those at the Hall haven't offered this player another deal as come May he'll only have a year left I believe to run on his existing terms. meaning from that point onwards his value will drop. Perhaps the Hierachy there are resigned to his departure and the most they would get for him would be in january. Interesting to learn if they'll cash in then on him or whether the promotion tilt comes first. A real connundrum.

As for Grant I'd like him here and feel we stand a better chance of getting him compared to Hall. also I think The chances of grant playing in the 2nd tier are passing him by now and again those in Essex have a connundrum - Will they flog him in January because he is out of contract at the end of the season meaning he'll go for nothing.

Grant is the sort of midfield warrior we need and I imagine a real Steve Evans type player. and if he did eventually come here I would be delighted.(2)(4)

 


23 Oct 2011 17:47:35
Crawley Town Supporter calling:

Commenting on the Southend fan's piece about our possible interest in two of their players.

First of all I'm only passing on what I've heard in HEAR SAY. So NOTHING official.
APPARENTLY we were interested in Grant in the summer just gone. Whether the interest in him on our part is still active I've NOT heard anymore.

Funny you mention Hall. Heard his name bandied about here several times and RUMOUR has it the player we have who was once with you Josh Simpson has been trying to sell our Club to him.

We may pay good money at this level of the game but from What I hear Hall is Championship material.. Read that Ipswich have been sniffing round him for a while so if he is to leave southend , IF, it will be an almighty challenge for us to secure his services. Surely his aim would be that championship level.

Therefore moving from you to us might be a sideways move the way we're both going at the moment.

My HONEST opinion.(4)(3)Thanks for good thought out post mate.

Im another Southend fan and havent heard any of these rumours.

Hall is a excellent winger, most assits last season in league two. So doubt he would move to another League two team but he owes the club at least 2 seasons after Southend stuck with him when he had a trial case.As I said I don't expect Hall to come to us. I also mentione he is of a higher standard than League 2. and agreed he is an excellent player. However I'm sorry but his name had been mentioned our way recently but the interest in Grant seemed more likely. I suspect Southend die-hards can't stand the thought of the vultures circirling from above AGAIN. Remember you are a small selling Club. Prove me otherwise?Small selling?

League 1 title, league 2 playoff winners.

2 JPT finals, BEATING Manchester united and drawing away at Chelsea.

That history cant be brought but has to be earnt like Southend a proper club.

Not a tinpot team like Crawley. You sum up Crawley I thought you was decent but you come out with that rubbish comment? Tinpot indeedIt is those freakish good results and year's worth of good form that cost you your assets. Collymore, Gower, Clarke, Eastwood ,Thompson, Fry, Simpson etc.
Even Webb walked out 3 times and he's held in high esteem. traitor perhaps. As for Evans treating people unwisely Players like Crown and Nicolau were offered deals by Blues only for them to be stitched up. look at how your fellow fans were treated by the owners during the financial crisis and now they claim to be the saviours. Hall, Mohsni, Ferdy, Grant have signed extentions but its unlikely they'll sign on again as they are too good for Southend in the long run. They'll go the same way as the people I've mentioned above.Yes and thats the lower leagues for you.

The players would be stupid to leave now, in the long run who knows they could stay or all could go.

Financialy its different, Martin isnt charge off the team bussiness anymore thats for Brady.
Same for Crawley, Tubbs and Barnett are far to good for league 2 aswell. Just one of those things you have to deal with.

Thing is Southend are a club with history and that can keep players at the club. Once Creepy lose their funding you become a club with no history and not very attractive to stay.

 


23 Oct 2011 15:53:20
Andy Wright to join Coventry on loan from Bolton for 6 months. Quick striker, could be useful for you.(3)(5)We need all the help we can get up front. Never heard of him, but already prefer him as an option to Roy O'Donovan and Freddie Eastwood.

 


23 Oct 2011 15:50:37
Burnley are set to bid for Alex Smithies. If both Huddersfield and Burnley can agree a deal, the young shot stopper will sign for Burnley in January.(9)(11)Sorry pal, but again ya wrong. u wont b signing any hudds town players. Anyway u cant afford him & he destined for the prem. AGThe rumour is true i saw it on an official Huddersfield pageShow me the link to the official site then,you could'nt afford his right armWhy would Smithies sign for a Championship team when he'll be there with Huddersfield next season?

HAPPY DAYS; from a LEEDS fan
Scum 1 Manchester City 6 hohoho
this is what life should be like, well done City from a Grateful Leeds fan Gj(33)(7)Not just from Leeds fans but from football fans the world over !!!! (P.S. Leeds fan here as well!!)Least were in the premiership mate, and not A sinking ship! haLeeds isnt a sinking ship. When do sinking ships go up. Maybe check our progress before posting things. Leeds will be back in the premiership in the next two years. Youth system can provide premier league players at our budget. Eg. Howson, White, Turner and of course Tom Lees ( Outstanding player for his age )Ha dont be so naive! any good players leeds produce will be taken off them by better teams who are actually in the premiership. and even if leeds do go up, they would probably be straight back down in the first year. as for a sinking ship, you was in champions league semi final a few years ago, now your playing teams such as doncaster, brighton and barnsley. at least we'll bounce back and win the league this year or next!Previous post from the glory hunting southerner make me laugh, will you change your team to Man City when they start winning everything - by the way if you type Manchester into Google maps it will show you where Manchester is, as I suspect you have never been.Is this the leeds united that got stuffed 3-0 playing their 1st team against uniteds 3rd team??Dnt be rediculous mate!! any can have a bad day.. it never means its all bad days.. united will bounce back supremely. and its only 3 points not life...league can be win and lost after 38 matches not now...Id rather be a leeds fan than a city fan, and thats saying something!!

 


23 Oct 2011 14:25:08
I reported some weeks ago that Sturrock, Coughlan, Corr and Barker were the quartet mentioned to go to Plymouth when their takeover is complete. They are seen as central to their rebuilding plans as they start afresh with improved finances. A new budget which will be greater than that of Southend's.(1)(8)Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

There not going anywhere

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 


23 Oct 2011 13:08:10
At next weeks home game, there is a protest to remove Sean Dyche as Watford manager. should never have been appointed in the first place. Tactically poor and terrible transfer dealing(10)(6)

 


23 Oct 2011 13:07:56
Steve Keen will be sacked on Monday, he will be replaces by Mick McCarthy who has had enough of the Wolves fans after Saturdays abuse. Steve Keen will become a leading contender for the Portsmouth job.(22)(20)Why the hell would we want Keen? The man can't even butter tosat correctly! PUP. Solskjaer's on his way to the south coast anyway.In repsonse to all the aobe ... rubbish on all counts

 


23 Oct 2011 12:13:33
Charlie Sherringham was playing non-league, some three divisions below Bmth in the Blue Square Bet South league at Dartford FC. As such he could be signed on a permamnent deal. I think the restriction on signings is only as far down as to the Conference teams.(9)(2)

 


23 Oct 2011 11:34:47
Im hearing very strong rumours from my sources at Southend.

Corr wants to go to Plymouth and wants to go when he is fit.

Ferdinand also wants to go, he has been offerend a stunning contracy by Peterborugh.

Crawley have made a bid for Hall and Grant.

Worrying times indeed.(6)(10)May I ask who your sources are?

 


23 Oct 2011 11:58:35
LAWRIE SANCHEZ OUT!!!!!!!!(3)(14)

 


23 Oct 2011 11:48:44
Manchester United to submit a £15 million bid for Everton midfielder Ross Barkley. Sir Alex Ferguson likes the way he shouts at the more experienced players, has an eye for goal and is probably the best youndgster in England who hasn't been snapped up yet. SAF to get a better look at Barkley when Everton play United next weekend.

Blackpool need a goalscorer. There answer to that question will be the combination of Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes and Newcastle frontman Nile Ranger

Newcastle will offer £15 million to Athletic Bilbao for Spanish frontman Fernando Llorente. He will also offer £15 million for Weder Bremen star Marko Marin.

Stoke will offer £3 million plus Ricardo Fuller for Crystal Palace striker Wilfred Zaha.

Manchester United will complete the £6 million signing of Brighton defender Lewis Dunk in January(11)(12)15m for a player who as yet done nothing of note? hmmm worlds gone mad but already know this with stupid price deals of henderson,downing,young, and carroll nither of the fore mentioned players are worth half there transfer fee's nither wud barkley {Ed025's Note - your wrong about barkley mate...he will be world class, but utd will have to pay more than £15m...but i agree about carroll and henderson..What was stupid about the young deal? he has more than shown he is worth what they payed, less than the other 3 wasn't it?Sir Alex likes him because he shouts a the more experianced players? Lol, year right!

You mean YOU watched the telly and YOU saw him shouting at the more senior players so YOU thought you'd put it on here and see wht response you get? RUMBLED!Newcastle have no hope of signing either of them at that price even if they would be interested in moving to a run of the mill team

 


23 Oct 2011 07:22:05
Dean Gerken is not available on a free! He signed a new contract in the summer!(3)(7)

 


23 Oct 2011 02:04:41
Doing the rounds amongst fans in the bar is that Brady is trying to wrestle overall control of Southend United FC from Martin.( imho if he succeeds Sturrock will stay. If Martin stays in command Sturrock will be likely to leave in the summer)(1)(5)

 


23 Oct 2011 01:50:52
Answer to question, clubs are allowed to sign players on a free transfer outside the transfer window, they are also allowed to loan players on an agreement to buy the player in the next transfer window this is with legal documentation etc.(6)(4)Up until a free / loan deadline.There is never a free deadline a free agent can sign any day off the year. but you can only change your squad listing twice a year tho. {Ed001's Note - not true, there are two free transfer deadlines in a season, and you can add to your squad listing with a signing any time, so long as you have the space in your squad to do so.}

 


23 Oct 2011 01:10:58
For Heavens sake what is this picking on Southend Utd all about?

I'm a Blues season card Holder and have been for many years and Would like to put people straight as is possible on a few things regarding pure rumour talk.

Yes us fans do hear things from time to time and I'm no different and this is what I've heard and not heard.

Sturrock to St Johnstone - Not Heard.
Sturrock to Plymouth - Have heard
Barker Rumoured to be unhappy - have heard ( Wants clarity that the manager is staying)
Bilel to quit next summer - Have Heard
Hall to Quit next summer - Have Heard
Kane attracting Peterborough - Have heard.

In addition It is doubtful The Club will be bringing in French Striker Yannick Boli after all.

And several players have been lined up apparently to replace those who have been linked to leaving.

In my heart of hearts players like Hall, Bilel, Kane and Grant are capable of playing at Championship level.with this in mind it is to be expected they'll move on soon. Hopefully after we've clinched promotion.

No I'm not a traitor nor a Judas but just being a realist.(3)(4)DOnt refer to yourself as a 'Blues' seasn card holder. We all know the only Blues worth talking about is Birmingham City!

 


23 Oct 2011 00:46:56
Talking of Southend I'm hearing their was more than meets the eye regarding Barker not playing yesterday.

Official line was he was ill but their is talk his agent is talking to another club with a view to the player quitting Roots Hall in January.(2)(4)I think most of the talk on here about Southend is farcical. The only thing I've stumbled across is that Barker would only leave to follow Sturrock to Plymouth Argyle. Cannot see this happening even when Argyle are taken over.

 


23 Oct 2011 00:39:31
Peterborough Utd news.

After monitoring him since the start of the season Posh will bid for Kane Ferdinand in january.

The club know it will take an audacious effort to prize him away then and if they fail they will move for him again next summer.(2)(3)

 


23 Oct 2011 00:37:06
My sources at Ipswich Town inform me that the Club will move for Southend's Ryan Hall in January.

Paul Jewell has been tracking the player since the back end of last season and after proving himself this campaign sees the attacking midfielder as the extra bit of firepower ne needs to guide Town into the Premiership.(5)(4)

 


23 Oct 2011 00:10:52
West Ham want to sign Manuel Almunia on a permanent basis.(10)(4)I thought they had Green to make all the mistakes.I pray this is true. he is a shocking keeper.

 


22 Oct 2011 23:50:14
Adam Federici to Fulham at Seasons end to replace Schwarzer who will finish up his career in the Bundesliga.

Why do we need another keeper however when wolves go down we'll take O'hara and Johnson off them.(3)(5)You can have johnson in January every wolves fan will drive him there n wishful thinking if you think were goin down not a chance so jog onOh yes you are,and is n,t this the same Johnson who was the best thing since fresh air,when you signed him? short memory syndrome or just fickle?AS a birmingham fan, i knew Johnson would be crap, only had a good game when Dann and Carr were either side of him. Average Campionship Centre half at best, although in the right partnershp he is good because he is gormless and he will do what the sensibleones wont, he will stick his head anywhere. I thought it was going up McCarthys head at the press conference when he signed for ya!They have an awesome keeper in waiting stockdale at loan at Ipswich who is already in the england squad so this rumour seems unliekly unless he will be back upNaa we won't we already put you away 2-0 so id think what you say 1stn wolves fans didnt want him we wanted dann but thick Mick again don't listen to us

 


22 Oct 2011 22:59:25
Doncaster fan: Millwall are on a sausage. Three games unbeaten. Three -nil win at Leicester. Howard and Simpson to sign permanently in January. Agemang still to prove fitness and worth. UTW(1)(3)Millwall are on a sausage??, what the are you on.

22 Oct 2011 18:50:47
West Brom boss Roy Hodgson, is keen on adding Uruguayan defender Damian Macaluso to his ranks in January from Argentinian second division side Gimnasia LP. The 31 year old has been training with the Premier League side over the last two weeks and the former Liverpool manager seems to be impressed. His contract in Argentina runs out at the end of December.(6)(8)

 


22 Oct 2011 18:38:55

Doughty is locked in talks with potential new owners and it is thought that a sale will go through before Christmas. The owners plan to rebuild the main stand with a much improved 3-tier stand. Also within the stand will be bar with restaurants and gym.

I know this because the gym I go to frequently have been invited to tender to run the gym within the stand.

SD of Watford to be replaced after tonights game

Can you be more precise with the timing -'after' is a bit vague and it hasn't happened yet!(8)(6)The sooner the better, that Munter Dyche taking us down!

 


22 Oct 2011 07:45:35
Look he is not going back to Plymouth and that's that(5)(6)

21 Oct 2011 20:46:13
Southend United:

The Blues are interested in aquiring the services of French centre-half Maxime Blanchard. Blanchard impressed in a reserve team match for Blues last month.

He could be brought in to cover the likely loss of Bilel Mohsni who is out of contract next summer. A move for Mohsni is on the cards in January and scouts from Celtic are rumoured to have been tracking him.(5)(6)

Sebastian Gregersen - AFB Aarhus
Jos Hooiveld - Celtic - Permanent
Nicky Maynard - £4,000,000(13)(6)Hooiveld never got a chance at Celtic. Hope he stays there and shows what he can doI am a Saints fan has Maynard signed i a new contract at Bristol, if he has not then unless saints got promoted i cant see us signing him, i am sure being a free agent at the end of the season there will be lots of interest from prem clubs. However i cheeky bid in January might tempt Bristol, i am sure they would rarther get something then nothing. The player will interested especially if Saints are still top or there abouts.Saints fans gotta love them 6 months on still baning on about Maynard

Not a rumour but a question: can anyone tell me why Bournemouth are allowed to sign Charlie Sheringham on a permananet deal and for a fee from another club outside the transfer window? I thought FL clubs could only loan players...?

its from a non league club(3)(3)Due to the club he signed from being below the transfer market level so any player can sign/be signed at any time

yeovil did this a few years ago with nathan smith from potters bar

To the poster who said in his reply to an article that Sturrock was to have showdown talks with Martin and Brady/

Is this true or yet more fiction?(3)(5)

 


21 Oct 2011 15:30:27
Paul Sturrock hints he would find it difficult to turn down the chance to return to St Johnstone if the offer is forthcoming.

Also claims to still keep in regular contact with the Chairman of St Johnstone.

Source: Perthshire Advertiser Newspaper.(4)(4)It says he is still in contact.

Nothing about he would find it difficult to stay if he had the offer.

Find me the quoute please.I wrote quickly. I did say it was a hint and not official.Well im finding it hard to see why you say it would be hard to turn down?

Where in the text does it hint?

David James to become player manager at Pompey. He will keep Guy Whittingham and Stuart Gray on as his backroom staff. James has recently refused to extend his Bristol City contract and after a bad start to the season he wants away from the club, he loves Fratton Park and thinks it is ideal to start his managerial career.(13)(16)Have this we dont want him at the gate, calamity jamesHas been a great goalkeeper, but it is possibly fair to say that his best playing days are behind him-Has bags of experience and would be an ideal appointment for all parties-Please take him, and could we have Henderson back please.The part about his contract is BS. He has not been offered an extention , he signed a 1 year contract in the summer and is expected to retire next summer. Good luck to him if the rest is true though.Totally agree - take him back in exchange for Henderson.You've got 2 hopes of getting Henderson back. You had him, you let him go...tough! As for James, he'd make a good coach right now but i'm not sure about a manager. PUP.I would luv someone to come in for him
but i dont think we are that lucky.

Burnley are on the trail of Tottenham youngster Danny Rose on a loan deal until the end of the season. Leon Cort will join Coventry at the end of the season on a free.(11)(3)Sorry mate, rose has just said in the media today he's only going on loan to a premiership club. I think blackburn are interested, but don't hold me to thatCoventry have a threadbare squad but are best covered at centre back, with Keogh, Cranie, Wood, McPake and Cameron. Leon Cort would not be a starter, we are skint and so this is a non starter.

Basle and Switzerland midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri has been subject of bids from five different clubs around the Europe. Aston Villa is keen on making a £20 million bid for the much wanted youngster and could see a deal accepted after the winger told the Swiss club he would like a move to a bigger league. Turkish side Fenerbahce are keen to add Shaqiri to the ranks but the price tag of between £20 million to around £30 million may be a stumbling block. Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb could make a surprise swoop for the Swiss international but again the price tag may put the champions off. Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has told chairman Ellis Short that he would like to add the winger to his January targets but with the amount of money he's spent in previous seasons, the Black Cats could miss out. Finally, Chelsea boss Andre Villas Boas is rumoured to have had a £22 million bid already accepted.(2)(6)I'm a massive villa fan & i love Shaqiri .. but Villa spending £20m on a player unproven in England & with a huge wagebill? don't think so :/The days of villa spending this sort of money are well gone i.m afraid but i.d love it to happen he.s top class.He won't go to Villa, some of the top teams in Europe are after him.

Expect him to be plying his trade at another champions League club by the end of the seasonU forgot the gunners they where said to be front runners for him ,2 or 3 german sides also been linked but then there was talk of him stopping bit longer so can get his dream move to a euro elite side so who that is we don't noYou're all wrong, AVB has already penned a deal for January for 19.5 million pounds plus add-ons to come to Stamford Bridge if Basel are out of the CL, if not, it will happen next Summer. He will join Kevin De Bruyne, Hazard, Subotic and Gotze as the new legends along with Luiz, Sturridge, Lukaku, Romeu and MceachranYou are dreaming! lol

Tottenham Hotspur will sign Carlos Tevez in january for around 25mil. His wages will be supplemented by a large signing fee.(8)(27)Like london is a lot closer to argentina than manchester.Stupid rumour, why would Tottenham and Harry take on a sulky player like Tevez, no chance, I suspect he will either make his peace with Man City(doubt it) or he will be sold for way less money than MC are claiming they want, because no club will be stupid enough to take a 35M gamble on him.

Dave Jones is still in conflict with Cardiff over compensation and any new job would lessen the amount due.(8)(14)Saw Martin's partner @ Meadow Lane today and she denied any approach from Pompey - Martin is enjoying life here and doesn't want uprooting - especially to an unstable club.He would only go to manage W.Ham!!

So what if Sturrock has a contract. What are contracts worth these days. He walked out on us at Swindon after getting us into a good position.

And if I remember correctly Southend had Barry Fry walk out them, Dave Web walked out three times and Steve Thompson walked out suddenly.

So this shouldn't come as a surprise to Shrimpers fans if it happens again.

And yes I posted a similar reply to one of the Sturrock postings.(7)(6)Yes he could walk out as could any manager at any time but with 2 years left and 2nd in the table I just dont make alot of sense for him to go.

Plymouth would make no sense at all, that job will be ignored by many even with a takeover.

St Johnstone I doubt want a League 2 manager, they can do better.Sturrock to have show down talks with Martin and Brady on Friday. He wants to go.Sturrock has had a few battles with the board at Southend and he is liklely to leave as he wants a board that supports him 100%. Southend have financial difficulties and dont be surprised if he moves on.The club does not anymore financial difficulties then most league 2 clubs nowadays.

The funding and backing has been changed with a massive reduced wage bill.

Plymouth are in twice the mess Southend/ other league two teams, are in.Yeah - i've walked out on Southend many times myself mate.

20 Oct 2011 00:36:39
In my opinion Southend need to brace themselves as word here is that St Johnstone are keen to have former boss Paul Sturrock on their shortlist of candidates to be their next manager. Surely a tilt at the SPL is more tempting than trying to guide a financial ridden club from League 2 to 1 in the FL. Luggy would find the resources better here now compared to when he was last here. he's not a well man but the pressure on him wouldn't be too great as he wouldn't be expected to win the title. My vote is for Luggy.

What is Luggy + why has he got this nick name ?(7)(5)Ears are commonly known as 'lugs' in Scotland. Sturrock has big ears, hence the nickname.

Not hearing anything about Sturrock going, so anything on here about him going is rubbish.(4)(5)

The local press here is reporting the early 3 possible contenders for the vacancy at St Johnstone are Strachan, Sturrock and Weir.(4)(7)

 


20 Oct 2011 00:58:52
The Shrimpers need to brace themselves indeed. And I have nothing against them whatsoever. It is believed Plymouth and St Johnstone are keen to regain his services and now at least one of those clubs if not both will have to step up their interest fairly lively in order for one not to lose out. If you include him staying at Southend then its a 2 out of 3 chance he'll leave them. my hunch is eventually he will go but either which one of those three ways his future will be interesting reading in the coming days or weeks.(7)(5)So many comments on Sturrock, I swear your the same person typing away.

Your not gaining anything mate, he has a contrat for 2 more years, he is 2nd in the table. He wont be going.You need to remember Fry walked out when on the verge of taking Blues in to premiership.

Webb walked out 3 times.
Thompson walked out when on the vwrge of signing contract.What do what past managers have to do with now?

Spearing hasn't played much under manager Kenny Dalglish after a number of summer signings and Wolves boss Mick McCarthy is set to get a steal with the midfielder set to sign a three year deal, in a transfer fee believed to be around £2 million. Spearing is keen to join a club that can guarentee him 90 minutes a week.(10)(11)With mm always playing his favs (henry o hara) i doubt he wud get 90 mins every weekDidn't want to come at start of season - so there's no way we want him nowSo he wants 90 mins football a week and
championship football looks like mick,s on to a winner here.

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has told chairman Dave Whelan that he wants to sign goalkeeper Dean Gerken from Bristol City in January. Gerken is available on a free transfer in the summer so Martinez may get the former Colchester stopper at a much lower price.(2)(9)That would be great. We get James for two seasons - lose Henderson - Now Gerkin is off. James with no hint of competition at all. City are doomed.Mcinnes will release James in January I hpoe and Gerken signed up. We need to build defence around him, James time is up rot starts with you under Coppell era bye byeGerken signed a new 2 year deal in the summerHe signed one yr deal in summer with view to second so this could be true

not FACT
DAVIEBHOY08Thats not a FACT its your opinion and I disagree. HaWould love it to be a fact but sadly it's not. Each would be hard targets to obtain to get all would be a miracle.
I think we might get Leandro due to our relationship with Internacional, but I think we might get three players tops in JanNone of these players will sign. FACT.And AFC Wimbledon will get Ronaldo , Messi & Casillas .. dreaming!Eriksen, hummels and martin- no chance
Hernandez and Damiao- possible. just possible. We have an affiliation with damiaos club that means we have first refusal on their players, and I think we made a bid for hernandez in the summerNot a chance maybe damiao none of the others. it wud b nice if we did pull it off we wud neva part with the cash cos levy cud peel an orange in his pocket tight bast##rdWhen posters use FACT you just know they're full of it.

It doesn't really matter where Paul Sturrock lives.

The fact is when James Brent takes over Plymouth the Club will start a new dawn and start afresh.

I'm not one to speculate or bulls but the club in which his heart is most in is Plymouth Argyle and if he deems moving Argyle forward as the thing to do then thats what he'll do.

If Coughlan is offered the manager's job at Home Park it will be a step up from what he's doing now which is an unnofficial assistant Manager.

Remember when Brian kidd left Man Utd for Blackburn. It was a step up in position if not the level of success.

As I say Plymouth will be starting from scratch and financially will be fine for the foreseeable future,

Thge same cannot be said of Southend who still have the same bosses in place.will they be equipped to deal with League 1 if they go up or even the Championship.(7)(6)Well it seems you want to speculate...

Plymouth can do better.

What I mean by that is, Plymouth clearly want experience to get them out of the drop zone, someone whos the modern game and is expericed, unlike Reid who is a dinosaur in management.

That isnt Coughlan is it, he has said he wants to stay at Southend, hes maturing well, he will leave one day but not yet.

Portsmouth will be appointing Steve Claridge as manager until end of the season Steve Claridge has been intalks with CSI over the last couple of days(9)(20)Steve Claridge is moving to a job in football, but it's not as manager of Portsmouth.

The Pompey job is between Dave Jones, Glenn Roeder and Alan Curbishley - although Curbs is hoping to take the West Ham job if Big Sam takes over from Crapello as England boss. Dave Jones is likely to get the nod, despite managing the Saints during the late 1990s.

I know where Claridge will end up, but can't say where as it may jeopardise a takeover at the club where he will end up as chairman (but in name only - he's not investing money). Claridge is leaving the BBC due to falling out with Manish Bhasin and Mark Clemmitt.

Paul Sturrock will leave Southend United next week to take up the position of Director of Football at Plymouth Argyle.(16)(12)I have heard that genuinly. Where did you hear that from?Believe it or not a Southend United fan!To the original poster of this piece - Did a Southend fan tell you this or is this Doggy-doo?This is false. He now lives in Southend and will not be going back there.Sturrock loves Plymuff !! But he would be a fool to leave Southend and take over that shower, yes they may well come out of administration, they still wont have a pot to piss in and the next time they are in administration they will have no assetts after the sale of the ground !!He will be returning because he still has a house in plymouth.Sturrock still has his house in Devon. He is not a well man, and I believe that he would return to Plymouth. Southend remain in dire financial difficulty and struggle to pay players, bills etc, and the promised new stadium is now years late in even starting to get built. All in all, a fresh start at Plymouth would be good for Luggy.Your not update are you?

Southend are now funded by Sainburys and a new director aswell so just your fact rights there.

The stadium yes but thats stating the obvious.

And no it would not be a fresh start, hes been there twice. He has a job at Southend and will NOT be leaving.

This site is funny at times.Are you sure, funded by Sainsbury's? No, you owe Sainsbury's money for the 'advance' they have paid you towards selling them Roots Hall. A completed stadium was promised 2 years ago and a brick hasn't been laid. And it would be another 'fresh start' at Plymouth, as it is being dragged out of administration with a new owner and money to expand. Do keep up. I do agree this site is funny at times.I know my own club thank you so no reason to keep up. I take it your a Plymouth fan? Stick to your own club before spouting rubbish you dont know half about.

It two part deal, they get roots hall, they fund the club until the team move.

I cant see how it would be a fresh start. Same stadium same fans same setting. Thats not a fresh start, just a fresh return.You really don't know your club - and I am not a PA fan! Sainsbury's are not backing Southend - they have paid an advance on the price for Roots Hall - you owe them the money! Sainsbury's fund you until you move - don't be stupid, do you really believe that?

Also Ed, will you have any info on prespective buyers or consortius for the club as ruours in the local press suggest there are interested parties but i'm not sure how it would work with Carson Yeung being in the slammer and not being let out of the country

What a mess, makes other teams moaners look like cry babies :-) ! {Ed001's Note - I was told that Brum are struggling to match the loan fees and wages needed to bring in players they want. There was talk of some more youngsters from Arsenal, Sanchez Watt was one name I was given as a possible, but money seems to have stopped anything happening. There are a number of interested parties, I am told, but I have not been able to get any info on them at all, judging from previous club sales though, most will be timewasters, they always are.}(3)(5)Cheers Ed, Appreciated. I had heard a rumour a few weeks back that there was talk of a consortium headed by Legend Trevor Frcis and Comedian Jasper Carrott along with other big wigs. Do you know anything that would rule this out or anything like that? {Ed001's Note - certainly nothing that would rule that out, I know Jasper Carrott is very keen to be a part of the future of the club.}

He'll give Luggy licence to appointment the team management - most likely to be a partnership of Graham Coughlan and Carl Fletcher.

Luggy has the experience, Coughlan is over a year down the line in his coaching education and has Luggy for a mentor and Flecher is very much a beginner in his trade. But like Coughlan has popularity.

A good blend.

Up the Greens(6)(3)All supporters of our great game wish good fortune for the Pilgrims - best of luck, a Saints fan

Plymouth fan here.

James Brent will approach Southend for the services of Paul Sturrock.

Brent widely admits he lacks knowledge on the playing side so Sturrock fits the bill for him in a Director of Football capacity.

Brent will allow Sturrock the licence to appoint the new management team should he agree to a return.

Amd has been mentioned many times on here Luggy is certain to go for a partnership of Graham Coughlan and Carl Fletcher.

This 3-pronged team has experience and youth and popularity.

It is believed Sturrock and Coughlan would only be keen on a return to Devon if the takeover is complete and hopefully it will now be so before our game against Swindon on saturday.(4)(5)False, he now lives in Southend and will not be coming back.

Why would he a leave who will be League 1 next year to a team playing the likes of Braintree and Hayes and Yeading? Next year,

Plymouth fan in celebration at today's news.

Thank you to all those who have supported us. And to those who supported from afar.

In agreement with what was said by I suspect a plymouth supporter on this site not so long ago.

James Brent does lack knowlege of football on the playing side and that's why when the takeover is finally signed,sealed and delivered Paul Sturrock will be approached via his chiefs at Southend to come home as Director of Football.

Brent made sure Sturrock was sounded out by Peter Ridsdale after the Southend/Plymouth game recently.

And if Sturrock agrees on returning he will be given the licence By Brent to appoint the team Management.

And in the frame is a Carl Fletcher/Graham Coughlan partnership.

Both Luggy and Coughlan are keen to return so long as the takeover was finalised.

In Luggy, Fletch and Cough it brings about experience and youth and popularity.

And that day is now looming and hopefully it will all be tied up by Saturdays home game with Swindon.(6)(3)

Hooray at last: The plymouth takeover has today taken a giant step closer to completion. Well done Mr Brent and hopefully the finishing touches to the deal will run smoothly.

I would also imagine things are now close to being sorted regarding the team management. If we can sort this also soon then I'm quite optimistic we can stay in this league.

I'm still hearing Paul Sturrock is the favoured choice to head the football department in an upstairs role with Carl Fletcher and Graham Coughlan running the team.

I have heard consistently on the grapevine that this will happen once the takeover is sealed.(8)(8)

Southend will trial Forward Yannick Boli and defender Luke Ashworth today in a reserve team match at Colchester.

Expect more forwards and defenders to trial At Roots Hall in the near future as the Club braces themselves for bids in january for Ryan Hall, Kane Ferdinand and Bilel Mohsni.

Although I don't expect this to happen Paul Sturrock's name has been linked to his former side St. Johnstone.(2)(10)False.

No clubs are watchig the 3 at the moment.

Versatile Defender Gary Doherty will be signing for spurs on a coaching contract. It is believed that Harry Redknapp wants him as a defensive and offensive coach as he has many years of experience under his belt of playing as both an influencial Centre Half for Charlton and Norwich and his striker days at spurs.
Chris Powell gutted to be losing his commanding centre back.
Watch this space.

Source: Clive Allen(6)(21)Spoke to Docherty about this (at Charlton's training ground Sparrows Lane) after hearing it also, he wouldn't give too much away apart from that big Harry Redknapp has contacted him.....Spoke to Gary 5 minutes ago, he said he speaks to Redknapp quite a lot as they have some of the same friends etc, he hasnt spoken about coaching. He will only move once he hangs up his boots, if he goes to another club in a coaching capacity it will be when he cant play anymore. He hopes he has another 2 seasons after this one, fitness permitted!

Christian Eriksen set to be signing for Liverpool in the January window. The midfielder is set for a multi-million pound deal to Anfield in the region of £20 million, that willl see Fabio Aurelio going in the opposite direction as part of the deal.

Christian Eriksen hopes to establish himself as one of the worlds greats in front of players like Steven Gerrard.

Source: Amsterdam Paper De Telegraaf(21)(28)With Adam, Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson, Downing, Maxi, Kuyt, Spearing, Shelvey, Sterling, etc...all fighting for midfield positions i can only see Eriksen coming in if someone leaves.I thought Eriksen didnt want to move to England? I heard something about him wanting to wait for the Galacticos or other European giants. I suppose people change.
wallyI've just looked in de Telegraaf and I can't find this supposed article. And, yes I'm Dutch so I understand what's being written.Eriksen will join spurs next summer deal in place from last windowI wud love a young talent like eriksen 2 go 2 the mighty yodds but i cant c him playing in england let alone at spurs

wolves r 2 get rid of MM and bring in Martin O'Neill. he has been brilliant on getting us up but his time has come. Also, wolves should be spending money on players to improve the team(21)(17)I hope its true time for mm to go but be honest do you think morgan and moxey got the bas to do itWolves and MM deserve each other, both dull and boring..He is doing his best with the squad he has, its not his fault he cant spend money.

He spent big on Doyle, Fletcher, O'hara, Johnson and so on and they're not really doing it. As good as Doyle is, he does nnot score enough goals to cover his value, same as fletcher, O'Hara injury prone and not great, loves a relegation battle, Johnson was only good with Dann and Carr either side of him at birmingham and has been found out. These players were supposed to take Wolves to the next level, they havent. Wolves are garbage, so is MM. Live with it"its not his fault he cant spend money"
yes he can spend money i remember morgn stating that they were willing to break the transfer record. It was mm who said he was happy with the team. also mm has pent good money on poor players

OWEN COYLE last night backed Derek McInnes as the perfect man to transform Bristol City's fortunes.

The St Johnstone boss was interviewed yesterday by the Championship's bottom club and is in a two-way fight with Mark Robins for the job.

Bolton manager Coyle, who made his name at McDiarmid Park before leaving for Burnley, insists his close pal would thrive at Ashton Gate and reckons they could soon be locking horns in the Premiership.

With a £30million new stadium in the pipeline at a club with huge potential Coyle believes Bristol City and McInnes are made for each other.

He said: "Bristol are a massive club. The catchment area is vast and they have enormous potential. Okay they're not in a good place right now but addressing that will be the new manager's priority.

"But everything is in place for them to go on to become a Premiership club. They have plans for a new stadium next season and it is a marvellous opportunity for whoever they go for.

"The job is perfect for a young and ambitious manager and if they opt for Derek they will be getting a man I know well, having taken him to Perth as player-coach.

"His work ethic is immense and he is a real players' manager.

"Heading to England would be the natural progression for Derek and Bristol would be getting a great boss.

"Look at the work he has done at Perth. He has shown an eye for a player at St Johnstone and it's no surprise Bristol are considering him for the job. He would take the club forward."

McInnes, who was granted permission by chairman Geoff Brown to speak to the Robins, plans to return north for a closed-doors game today as he awaits news from down south.

One City player who'd love to see him on board is ex-Aberdeen and Hearts star Jamie McAllister.

The full-back reckons McInnes can lead the Championship strugglers up to the top flight and said: "This would be a great move for Derek and a fantastic appointment by the club.

"I spoke to Paul Hartley and Allan Preston about McInnes and they could not speak of him highly enough.

"Bristol City are a massive club with huge potential and I would love the chance to work with him.

"We reached the play-offs in 2008 but lost to Hull. With McInnes at the helm we could hopefully go one better and reach the Premier League."

COME ON CITY WAKE UP FULLY BACK HIM, GIVE HIM THE JOB.(16)(9)
