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?

Plymouth Graham
PUPPPU


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------(3)(9)Get Keane in We can hate the Skates even more then....he has failed where ever he has been...lovin it COYRIt shows the mentality of the person from the rubbish filled end of the M27, that lot cannot hate Pompey any mor than they do already, due to the jealosy of our history and their lack of it. POUR. PUP PPUAs an Ipswich fan I would not wish him upon you. We are still trying to sort the mess out he left. Altough I understand under Cotterill lumping it forward and hoping for the best was the ususal tactic? in that case he will do well for you.POUR? Pour what exactly, the tea?

21 Oct 2011 06:27:43
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.

 


20 Oct 2011 23:34:14
Afc bournemouth have signed charlie sheringham from dartford for a fee in the region of 25,000 and will wear the number 10 shirt vacated by Steve lovell.(7)(3)Absolute rubbish signing. He is pants. Far better young strikers out there.

 


20 Oct 2011 22:23:28
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.

 


20 Oct 2011 19:57:13
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

 


20 Oct 2011 19:47:00
Liverpool target Andy Polo, is in talks with Dutch side Ajax. Polo currently plys his trade in South America but is keen on a move to Europe and the 17 year old looks set to speak to the Dutch champions in the coming weeks for a move in January.(2)(6)I bet he will cost a mint! {Ed003's Note - I didnt think it would take long,lol. }

 


20 Oct 2011 18:09:45
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.

 


20 Oct 2011 17:38:21
burnley boss eddie howe is keen to bring in on loan , spurs left back danny rose . He feels burnley are weak in that area .he is also looking at a holding midfielder .(11)(7)Rose is a left wing..Rose can play Left Back, by the way where has this rumour come from ?NEXT WEEK.....BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAHRose only wants a loan in the prem

Graeme Jones, Alec Cleland, David Weir, Gary Bollan, Paul Sturrock, Brian Reed and Paul Sheerin.(7)(6)

 


20 Oct 2011 14:38:01
The Daily Star carries a story today (20 Oct) about a growing list of suitors following Brighton's Lewis Dunk progress. Latest clubs to join Arsenal, Aston Villa and Fulham in having Scouts watching Dunk include Manchester City and Tottenham both of whom covered Brighton's match at Millwall on Tuesday apparently. Values of £5 million plus add ons being bandied about.(3)(3)He will then be replaced by James Wilson from Bristol City

 


20 Oct 2011 12:58:01
Matt Tubbs has agreed to sign for Portsmouth in January, he wants to stay close to home, done deal.(13)(12)Can't see it myself, but i hope so. Need a decent goalscorer. PUP.Considering he lives in Crawley nowHis Family Home in salisbury his parents still live thereGot 2 years left on his contract at Crawley and unless Portsmouth are willing to pay a million + he isn't going anywhereBesides why would he go to Portsmouth, both teams will be playing in league 1 next season, hardly a step up in his career is it.

 


20 Oct 2011 12:29:30
nile ranger could be joining hartlepool united on a season long loan as his 1st team Opportunities at newcastle are way down in the pecking order.(3)(15)Lets hope so, get the person out of the club.He could become a Loan Ranger.

 


20 Oct 2011 12:16:25
Martin Allen has been approached regarding the Portsmouth job due to his experience in the lower leagues and his ability to coach.There is a clause in his contract that allows him to speak to clubs above League 1. Ray Trew has got on a train this morning to speak to a prospective new Manager.
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!! He loves Notts County so much.

Roy Keane to takeover reins at Portsmouth FC.(7)(20)Oh please no this muppet couldnt manage a burger barGood luck with that one!!For your own sanity make sure he is not allowed to pick the players you sign.Surely the Board at Portsmouth ain;t that stupid, unless they actually want relegation to div 1

Mervan Celik sweedish wounderkkid to sign pre contract with middlesbrough on monday and will join in january(2)(4)

cristian eriksen on his way to manchester united for around 23m.(10)(18)Not for that price he won'tTo much ? Not enough ? Cos prices on this site start at 15 mil up to 30 , personally it will not happen cos they don't need wide player at all a holding role and a more link man sort of player that why nasri would of been perfect

 


20 Oct 2011 09:23:06
Crystal Palace will sign Crawley Town's
Matt Tubbs in January with Wilfried
Zaha leaving.(7)(16)Zaha has 4 years left of his contract and as CPFC 2010 have said he isn't going anywhereYeh right, he ain;t going anywhere until someone offers 5M, then he will be out of there quicker than a rat up a drainpipe.

 


20 Oct 2011 09:08:59
matt tubbs to brentford(1)(17)

 


20 Oct 2011 08:48:52
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 07:20:35
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.

20 Oct 2011 01:31:19
Southed United will let Luke Prosser go out on loan to hereford.

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

 


20 Oct 2011 01:05:31
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?

My vote is for Luggy.(5)(4)The club is not financial ridden at the momement.... its as even as most league 2 clubs.

I doubt he would want to move back up north now.

 


19 Oct 2011 22:37:33
Wycombe are in talks with Matthew Blair from Kidderminster over a potential deal in January. Blair could move to the League 1 side for a nominal fee.(0)(4)

 


19 Oct 2011 22:27:10
Queens Park Rangers are in talks with Exeter striker Richard Logan. Neil Warnock has been impressed with how the former Ipswich youngster has played over the last few seasons and believes giving him a chance in the top flight may provide competition for his striking options. Logan has scored 42 goals in 160 appearances for City.(1)(7)

 


19 Oct 2011 22:47:28
West Ham are set to speak to representatives of Guillaume Rippert from French side Evian after a bid of around £700,000 was accepted for a deal in January.(6)(4)

 


19 Oct 2011 22:45:46
Shrewsbury Town are keen on bringing in Shane Ferguson on loan from Newcastle United. Ferguson is keen on getting out on loan to gain some first team experience, allowing him to push for the first team at St James' Park. Town will hopefully complete the deal in the next week.(2)(4)

 


19 Oct 2011 22:40:18
Plymouth caretaker Carl Fletcher has told the board that if he becomes the permanent boss, he would like Mark Reynolds on loan from Sheffield Wednesday to be his first signing.(3)(9)

 


19 Oct 2011 22:35:19
Wolves are set to sign Jay Spearing from Liverpool in January. 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.

 


19 Oct 2011 22:29:32
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

 


19 Oct 2011 22:24:10
Oldham boss Paul Dickov is in talks with Busan I'Park defender Lee Yo-Han. The 25 year old defender, who was a former South Korea under 23 international, is in talks with Oldham over a pre contract deal after being told by the Korean club that he will be released in January and will have to find a new club. Yo-Han is keen on taking his chance in England but will only sign a one month rolling contract with a view to a three year deal in the summer.(3)(3)

 


19 Oct 2011 22:20:27
Notts County boss Martin Allen is very keen on bringing in Jay McEveley on loan from Barnsley. Keith Hill made the Scotland international available for loan last month and Allen was set to complete the deal on Monday, but the full back got injured on Saturday. It is expected that Barnsley will be again approached by Notts County in January to sign the former Derby defender until the end of the season on loan.(3)(6)

 


19 Oct 2011 20:27:04
Steve Brooker will sign a deal until June 2012 with Plymouth Argyle, along with Deale Chamberlain and Steve Irwin.(1)(9)

19 Oct 2011 20:20:19
Sheffield United will sign Charlton defender Gary Doherty on loan till january as cover for Neill collins and Harry Maguire.(0)(8)Oh lordy, good luck with that, cover your eyes if you sign him and he gets to play, he was well past his sell by date when he left Norwich 16 months ago, clumsy, slow and gets pulled out of position so easily, clangers a certainty.

 


19 Oct 2011 17:57:52
Following the departure of McInnes to Bristol City, Paul Sturrock will turn down the opportunity to return to Plymouth to take the reins at his old club St Johnstone. Having led them to success in the mid 90's Sturrock would relish the chance to take on the SPL.(7)(8)Luggy's going to Plymouth - David Weir to St. Johnstone as a player/manager.Sturrock isnt going anywhere.

Hes very fine at Southend.

 


19 Oct 2011 17:23:33
derek mcinnes is new bristol city manager contract to summer 2014 come on you reds(13)(5)Great appointment-This guy has all the makings of a good future manager-Good luck! COYRCheers who ever you are it seems he has passion something our last manager lacked up the city

 


19 Oct 2011 17:16:57
Spurs will snap up Abel Hernandez, Leandro Damiao, Christian Eriksen, Hummels and Marvin Martin in january and in the summer. FACT(10)(35)Is that the same erikson that said he would only go to barca or spain and the same hummels thats with the german champs lol

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.

 


19 Oct 2011 16:43:35
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.

nicky maynard to swansea in january(12)(10)

 


19 Oct 2011 16:35:26
derek mcinnes is now set to become bristol city boss but it's quite funny cos st johnstone is my scottish team as i have a season ticket for them. and bristol city is my english team as i have connectons down there so while i am sad to see him go, i would choose city out of anyone. :)(10)(2)

 


19 Oct 2011 14:43:55
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?

Any news for Birmingham City ED? In or Out, Hughton keeps talking about exloitig the loan market yet nothing is happening. Beausejour has picked up some great form in both the league and in Europe and i fear we may lose the likes of him during the window.

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.}

James Brent will hopefully own Plymouth Argyle by the weekend.

To make up for his lack of knowledge on football he will move for Paul Sturrock as Director of football.

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,

 


18 Oct 2011 22:38:57
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)

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!

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)

He just sign a deal with Mallorca and he has plans with club. So don't dream about Caparros.

Benitez? He's to big name for Wolves. Maybe Hughes, but i think McCarthy will be manager for a while.This wont happen. Not a hope in hell. They have to much blind faith in MM. Any drongo can see we need a change of management and that means get rid of Terry Connor as well.

Heard from a very good source at Bournemouth th Chairman Eddie Mitchell is in financial trouble with his own building company and is using money from Bournemouth fc and putting it into off shore account s be prepared for some bad news bournemouth fans and soon.(19)(6)Mitchell has had six previous companies that have all gone bust and he doesnt care. i believe this rumourMitchell has had 6 companies in the past that have gone bust all in the building industry and his current company is called Seven builders which reflects the previos six that have gone out of business. I would be seriously worried Bournemouth fans.To the OP - where have you heard this (links/people) as there is no mention of this story on any AFCB forum.

I don't doubt that the story could be true - and a knock-on effect could be that EM tries to get his money back from Dorchester Town FC - but until I see something more solid (perhaps in the next few days?) then I cannot totally believe this rumour.I know someone very senior at the club and i cannot reveal names as it will cause him a major problem and me with the relationship ok you have heard these sorts of stories before from people saying they know someone but believe me this is true. I wouldnt put a rumour on here like that im not a Bournemouth supporter and i quite like Bournemouth as a team and im not a fan either from a local rival but i am very close to someone at Bournemouth fc.This has ben rumoured for almost all of 2011 so isn't really new. You'd have to question why the 'very senior person' at the club hasn't done the right thing and informed the authorities. Not doing that makes the very senior person party to it.

Watford will sack Dyche when they lose to Leicester on tuesday night!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having spoken to Graham Taylor on a number of occassions I know Watford would be reluctant to sack Dyche. I think it is more likely that another manager will be bought in with Dyche being offered a coaching job. After seeing how poorly Aidy has done elsewhere I for one wouldn't be happy with him back at the Vic.(7)(3)I would like dyche to stay as he has shown loyaltiy to us we should do the same to him. Bring in a manager with a bit more no how i think dyche will be a good manager in time.I like Sean Dyche a lot but I think it is maybe a step too far for him at the moment. I think Boothroyd would certainly give the Vic a bit more of a buzz. I would be happy if he came back.

Saunders will break up the O'Driscoll team by January, with the midfield players Coppinger, Gillet & Oster being the first out the door in the January window.
Followed by Stock, & O'Connor should O'Driscoll get another Championship club.
Parkin isn't interested in staying after the loan spell unless things change apparently & Sharp is being now approached by Leeds United as well as Southampton, so he may yet get the opportunity in the Premiership.
Saunders wants the team to be another Stoke City & kick their way out of League 1 next year then continue towards the Premiership.
Problem is the team will lose an awful lot of supporters who want to see a winning team, but not at all costs, & five years under O'Driscoll saw quality football.
RTID(2)(15)I don't think we'd approach Sharp after some of the things he said when we last bid for him. He has no respect. And he was a no-show on Friday night. Southampton could though, thats pretty likely.
wallyYou haven't got an awful lot of supporters to lose in the first place :-)What are you talking about?Why would leeds want to sign sharp? we have lots of other strikers most of whom are better than him....mccormack made your boys look like mugs ps you are very welcome to take paynter off of usStoke didnt kick their way out of anywhere, direct football yes kicking no

Right Leeds fans, here's what you've all been waiting for - lowdown on the Jonny Howson transfer situation. This comes from a friend who works at the club.

Apparentley Howson has no issue with the money being offered (5k pay rise) but is waiting to see what sort of state the club are in towards the middle of the season as he has Premier League ambitions. The gist I got is that its considered pretty likely he'll sign by the club.(4)(17)Is your friend the club accountant??players contracts are private,this smells like b/s to me.Howson is not Premiership class, his form this season has been hot & cold, more cold actually.In that case he should sign now...13 points from 15 were going up!Original poster here - I'll refer you to the YEP interview with Howson today. He states as much.
