    YESHHH. I will now share this with the Lincolnshire Echo so they can at least post something relevant to Lincoln, rather than run a story on Nicky Cowley and his wife expecting another child.

    I see Flynn's odds have been slashed and he's now the bookies favourite over Ainsworth.

    That could be a disaster for Newport - I get the impression that everything is working so well there because of everything aligning at the right time. It only takes a minor change for it to come crashing down. Flynn going would be a massive change to the equilibrium there.

    Well I don't know what they were earning as Lincoln manager, but the Mail reported that they turned down joining Hudds for that sum last week.

    Gareth Ainsworth and Michael Flynn remain bookies favourites but I don't think Sir Gareth would leave Wycombe now for anyone but perhaps QPR, and though i'd welcome Michael Flynn, I think it would take a lot to uproot him from South Wales (tho the Cowleys were happy to leave Essex for Lincolnshire).
    Nigel Adkins is also up there given that he's managed to get both Scunny and Southampton out of League 1 to the Championship and lives fairly local after being dismissed by Hull. Also, as he's not under contract anywhere, no compo needs to be paid.
    Bizarrely, bookmakers had former Norwich defender Ian Culverhouse amongst the front-runners. He's currently managing King's Lynn and doing well there this season, but I was under the impression that the Board wanted someone with experience of managing a football league side.
    I've dismissed the idea of Kevin Nolan joining, partly cos i've always hated that fucking 'chicken dance' goal celebration, but I forgot that he didn't do too badly at Orient before failing to get County promoted.
    Phil Parkinson has also been touted. Anyway, best see how Jamie McCombe gets on this weekend, he might fancy it himself.

    Edit: That's a come and get me plea, surely?

    If I was Huddersfield chairperson / board I'd be looking to use the financial stability that has come from the sojourn in the top flight to build something strong and with firm foundations, not to be rushing into getting back there, but building up an academy and ensuring all the money is spent wisely. For that it would appear that Cowley is a perfect appointment. (And if as seems to be the case, he had offers from both Huddersfield and Wednesday, I can totally understand why he would have been more attracted to Huddersfield as a long term prospect)

    This is why it seems like an odd move. They've seen Hurst struggle at Ipswich and Jones at Stoke. Yes, they'll have a lot of backing financially but i'm assuming their job is to at least get Hudds in the play-offs this year.

    Official now. Huddersfield bastards. What a wonderful three years or so it's been. Left the club in such a brilliant position, both on and off the pitch. Hope to Christ we can replace them with someone similar. Meanwhile, Jamie McCombe's in charge for at least the next game.

    Kevin Bond's departure from Southend hasn't been noted here.

    Some Southend fans were hoping he survived until next weekend so his record could have read 0-0-7.

    Yep. My mum reckoned last week the Cowley brothers had both bought houses in Sudbrooke (next village over from her) currently under construction. I'd got complacent in believing that they were set to stay for a few years yet, after thinking during that very first season they'd be gone after a year.

    Well, Lincoln being successful was fantastic while it lasted, and it would be churlish to be anything other than massively grateful for what they've done for the club. That includes putting us on a solid financial footing that will hopefully serve us for several years. Mighty tough act to follow for the next manager, though.

    As per my post in the Division 4 thread - Dino Maamria relieved of his duties at Stevenage.

    His replacement (albeit caretaker) leaves a bit of a nasty taste in the mouth - step forward Mark Sampson

    Garry Monk? What could possibly go wrong?

    I'd have thought he'd have had to wait rather longer until the whispers about his dodgy dealings at Boro and Birmingham died down.

    Looks like you can rest easy Rob - Wednesday have called a press conference for 4pm and Sky Sources* claim that Garry Monk is to be appointed our new manager.

    *they've noticed Monk's odds plummeted on the betting markets overnight

    I'm not sure it'd be a great move for the Cowleys - they'd have to cope with an ageing squad, interfering chairman, dodgy finances and a demanding fanbase. Historically we've also not got a great record with up and coming young managers, we haven't had a successful appointment of this type since Harry Catterick.

    Still the alternative seems to be Pulis, so it could be worse.

    I can't see either of those options being particularly enticing at the moment.

    His time at Barnsley wasn't as bad as some people make out. We played some decent football at times with a five nil win at Birmingham being a highlight. Flitcroft in as his assistant too, which is good.

    They can still avoid relegation: 16 points from safety but still 123 up for grabs

    Keith Hill in as Bolton manager. Excellent appointment with two very good stretches at Rochdale under his belt - admittedly his time at Barnsley not so succesful - and just the kind of honest, decent and lower league savvy guy they need at the helm right now. If I was a Wanderers' fan I'd be delighted.

    Maybe they should have gone with Martin from Wakefield after all.
