    That would be the biggest own goal ever seen at Valley Parade.

    Won’t be Jones he’s happy in his new job no interest in football management. For bums on seat Stuart is the obvious choice but we shall see knowing our inept back room it will be dreary .

    No chance. Rupp and Rhodes are not that daft to do this. Fans would stay away in their droves, with the ones remaining ensuring an even more toxic atmosphere prevails.

    I suspect Drury will be clearing his desk and taking his cones home today

    Have to agree with you. I wouldn’t be disappointed with McCall but just think it’s a far too easy decision that doesn’t necessarily fill me with long term confidence. There’s no doubt he will have an instant impact on club morale which may have a positive roll on effect. However I feel as a club we need so much more than this, someone who can get into the roots of the club and start challenging us at every level.

    Based on this, I really want Warnock. However he can’t be short term. He needs to be on a 18-24 month contract at absolute minimum. We need someone who has the balls and experience to challenge us at every level. Not saying McCall can’t do that, but Warnock takes no prisoners and at the moment, that’s what I want to see in my club.

    A return of the Warnock / McCall partnership would be absolutely ideal, but no way I believe that will happen or that we can afford it.

    just got this from my m8 via email who told me about vaughan and doyle leaving, This will be in the clubs twitter account later today

    “Julian Rhodes asked me to take temporary charge and I wasn't going to turn my back on this group of players.

    “My focus is on this weekend and Grimsby and I won’t look any further down the track.

    “I am extremely passionate about this club and will do everything I can to help us get the results we desperately need.”

    Either your mate or you are winding us up. No way that is going to happen

    Hate warnock with a passion but even I admit hes man for the job.

    But as T&A suggest it will be McCall announced today....much as I love him twice is enough....3rd time is a blinkered fan pleaser not best to get us in playoffs

    What we going to keep on saying this for next 50 years though?

    For me @Park bantam@Park bantam is correct. It's a weak and lazy appointment.

    As for the attractive football I can't really remember the Klopp style football under McCall.

    Kills as player Manger - thinking out of the box - he won’t be too expensive either - he’s playing in India at the moment - would feel he’s got unfinished business at the club after Collins binned him off, after getting 7 POTY awards.

    May as well shut the ticket office if Drury is appointed but that might be a cunning way to save wages.

    The goals are 24 ft wide and 8 ft high. We are managing 1 shot on average towards this in an entire game in 2020.

    My memories are like watching a Klopp team in comparison in all honesty.

    Warnock in charge, with Drury as no 2. Just how does Warnock assemble a backroom team, for a mere 3 months. Does he have a backroom team, he can call upon?.

    Just thinking.....

    Not heard that but if it did happen we can write this season off and the club can look forward to around similar season ticket sales as this season at best, surely they have learnt from the Collins fiasco.

    Have a look around the interweb the quote that stands out is that they want someone in place before Grimsby so we have the best chance to do well in the next two games.

    Suggests to me that we'll hear by tomorrow at the latest.

    Don't know about anyone else but I feel very nervous this morning. After the euphoria of yesterday I've got a horrible feeling we're going to do something really unwise.
