At this moment, we need some one calm and paternal to come in and settle this all down.

Ancelotti's manner would be perfect - of course it won't be him - but someone measured and assured is needed.

So it's Paulo di Canio then

Dyche in London speaking to club today.

The only question we will be asking is "Who keeps us up?"

If we were willing to go down to rebuild then we'd have kept Lampard.

All these "he'd bring us straight back up" or "he has a good record in the championship" are not the way the club will be thinking.

This appointment is all about the next 18 games. If they do really well then it's a bonus and they may stay on.

Nowt. I only ever hear stuff from a friend who work's for most of the NW clubs.

We're wasting the last few days of the window, you couldn't make it up, one disaster after another at this club, don't know why we bother, it's not the working mans game anymore sadly.

He DIDNT SAVE US. Stop peddling a lie, we where 13th and played maybe 10 games

I agree that's why I said we had just won a game that put us most of the way there when he was appointed

If Dyche is hired and he’s not Thelwells choice. Thelwell resigns surely…… Every cloud!

Thelwell won't resign - unless there's a hyphen between the e and the s in that.

Dyche is in London but is talking to West Ham who are not convinced Moyes can keep them up.

How busy is Noel Edmonds? That crap show with the boxes appears a better version of our recruitment, so he's head and shoulders above convention for starters...

I honestly think this is who we are waiting for, quite pathetic really.

I don't think we are waiting for anyone. That would suggest some sort of plan. Nah, we're going from hour to hour scrabbling around and having doors shut in our collective face. Meanwhile, Big Sam awaits the call...

Sam said on some podcast he has had no contact with the club and according to Dom King yesterday we don't want to go down the route of an Allardyce or Dyche unless it's a last resort sort of thing.
