£10 on Guthrie first goal at 16/1, marvelous.

Got to keep Ameobi on the roll, must start. If he doesn't he might not score for a while IMO

Where can i access these comments?

Lets hope if Ashley starts making making "decisions" (shudder) then his first will be to bring in Shearer. We will probably re-hire Kinnear.

There is no way in my mind that on monday we hear anything other than ashley's staying, which is not welcome news. However, the end of the uncertainty is welcome, albeit too late.

I imagine this news will be met with a great deal of sceptisism, however if Taylor is amongst our ranks come september i will be very pleased.

There's a geordie/indian playing for Cardiff who would be a good partner for a big guy up front too.

Fluky Arsenal.

I'm on hols so watching it abroad, ShowSports2 Chelsea all over them but no clear cut chances. Constant pressure mind Cheers. Arsenal game is a bit shite.

What channell are Chelsea on?

I don't see how because Moat was sitting next to Ashley that anyone believes this thing is going to be done anytime soon. Nothing suggests that our takeover is close. That pretty much suggests it to me. I can't see why either party would want to go through such a charade unless something was happening. Moat was going to be at the game regardless of the takeover crack though. Even though it's been confirmed that Moat is indeed the front runner surely that means the takeover could still take along time? I mean look at portsmouth?

I'm still convinced very little is going on behind the scenes. Having Moat at the match hasn't changed my pessimism regarding the sale of the club.

I think he has something in his locker.

Well above the standard of the championship, even if he isn't what he used to be. In fact he's probably above the standard of us at the moment. I can imagine a few prem clubs will have been sniffing around, were just lucky his lass is from up here.

I assume they will bump Taylor onto the wing and Simpson in at right back.

Would be shocked if Tozer started TBH.

Would be nice if it were true but very unlikely considering our state at the moment.

Joey Barton has joined the "Wormwood Reunion Group". Rio Ferdinand just gave Roman Bednar a spliff Roman likes

I thought O'Leary was half decent TBH and his record suggests that. As for a bloke... he's an absolute cock end. Having O'Leary as manager is better than sticking with Hughton and better than having Kinnear back but that's not saying a great deal.

I've always rated O'Leary as a decent manager, not a great one. Right now, sadly, i would take "decent". What i don't understand is why Ashley doesn't just appoint Shearer? If he is going to appoint someone, he might as well appease the fans. Obviously O'Leary is the cheap option.

I imagine it will be an unchanged team but personally i'd be a bit creative and go for; Krul Colo Taylor Kadar Enrique Smith Barton Jonas Duff Nolan Carroll

What i like about Carroll is that he tries to shoot when he gets the opportunity and easily one of the best headers at the club, in defence and attack.

He was so threatening at times, skinning their right back on a number of occasions but his final product comes to nothing almost everytime. He's missing a good coach that's for sure. I think a good manager could make him a very dangerous player.

Even if Shearer came out and said he didn't want the job, i still think he'd accept it if the new owners offered it to him.
