Bevington gone and Riley apparently on his way....very soon Hollis will be opening and locking the shop! However the Bevington statement is a  fair do.

The Daily Star and Express have both released an article at 10.30 to claim there maybe a deal in principal by the end of the week.  Worryingly the di Matteo and Comoli links are included again.

I'm ok with Comolli, I think he's not as bad as a lot of people assume but because it's an unfamiliar role it tends to fit nicely as the scapegoat (I think Riley for us is probably in a similar position, I don't think his scouting and suggestions for signings were anything like as terrible as some make out).  As for Di Matteo I'm not sure we're in any position to turn our noses up at someone who has a champions league medal on his management CV.

It might not be perfect but it's a start and it's a damn sight better than a disinterested owner and a bevy of miserable managers.

Same owners.

Ah ok I don't keep up to date with such matters these days.  The story just looks like a complete rehash of last weeks.

In Di Matteo´s first season managing the Tesco Baggies , the team finished second in the Championship, behind ...guess who ?....Newcastle United ! , deja vu for next season , maybe ?!.
Apparently since 2010 he & his Family have been living in Leamington Spa, which could be one of the reasons the press are making assumptions.....................Godzvilla! ( still preferring Pearson )

Most of us would probably take finishing 2nd next season, even if was regrettably behind Newcastle.

I can't read anything Evans writes. It's mostly useless bollocks. But looking at him and that stupid fucking hairstyle (or whatever the fuck that thing is on his head) is even more annoying.

He has the face of the smug kid at school that you just had to debag ,

I've been finding his hugely punchable face another massive irritation in this season of hell for months, but surprisingly hadn't noticed people on here remark on it until recently. He's even more irritating than that pouting fuckwit Matt Smith on ITV who constantly seems to be copying his facial expressions off Ben Stillers character in Zoolander.

I prefer him to Mark Poocatch though.

If De mateo is the new owners choice of manager , it says to me they havent got much money

If Comoli is to be the technical director then it says to me they've got money to burn.

What would Pearson, Dyche, Hughton, Bruce or any of the other likely contenders  say to you?

Exactly!  We're a Championship club now.
