Surprised people seem to be underrating Moyes as much as they are.

Ha ha. Brilliant.

There are certainly reasons why he might consider us, but I don't think we'd pay him enough.

Why would he leave without being sacked? He's never going to get another managerial job after this.

We are only 1 point off 17th - I mean we look awful, but it's not like it's impossible.

Sounds like he has turned up to the press conference.

Him or Bielsa...

If we sack McClaren, that Soton goal could be crucial.

I think you are right - quick google search shows some nufc.co.uk articles written by him.

Did Edwards used to work at NUFC? Didn't realise that.

Ha ha - I wonder who it is?

Stand by the idea that if you pay enough/the going rate, we could get a decent manager. Even in the position we are in.

Just imagine if we appointed our first proper manager since Robson.

Bit in bold is key for me. The result on Saturday shouldn't make any difference in reality. If we win 1-0 but are dominated all game and score a lucky goal, it's hardly as if that is going to kickstart a great run. He'll still be shit.

Isn't that Craig Hope guy right quite often? His article seems to have a lot of detail in it.

Will there ever have been three 'bigger' clubs, either by attendances or trophies, to have been relegated in one season if us, Sunderland and Villa go down? Quick count on wikipedia says 21 trophies for Villa, 11 trophies for us and 8 for Sunderland.

Even if it meant working for Fat Mike? I'd feel conflicted. Obviously easy money for doing things badly, but imagine working for Mike.

Out of interest, if Mike rang you up tomorrow and offered you Lee's job - would you take it?

Yeah - he's one of the few plus points of recent weeks. And he isn't even that good - he just looks vaguely ok.

He does lack basic footballing skills - like being able to control the ball or be in control of it when he's running.

I genuinely can't understand why any fully functioning person could keep this guy in charge. He should never have been appointed - but how can you persist with him when you have a body of evidence to show that he is completely incompetent?

We playing rugby?

I thought he might put three in the middle with Gini and Sissoko out wide and I have no problems with us setting out to keep it tight, but I don't get the choice of Gouffran.

Colback and Gouffran. Why?

All I want to know after reading that Mirror article is how Stephen Ross managed to accumulate enough newts to be worth 4.8 billion.
