    The daft rumour that had no substance whatsoever that one. Got a few balls rolling though, sadly.

    Excellent point. Felt for Mowbray with the striker situation.

    Flight of fancy. We sacked a manager who was obviously getting more out of these lads than almost anyone else could (got us into the playoffs at least a season before we should have), the idea that we could secure the perfect, golden moment, appointment is why we finished down towards the bottom of the table. You have to be able to recognise a good thing when it's staring you in the face, or you'll always wonder why you fail.

    Strong reports and rumours that McKenna is rejecting a new contract offer from Ipswich and will be moving on. I'd imagine Brighton is where he'll go. Imagine the unbelievable high of a double promotion just for your manager to leave before kicking a ball in the PL.

    I’m not so sure that’s the case. Definitely feel Speakman wanted rid of TM last summer.

    Reports that they were willing to quadruple his wage.

    I found their fans to be a bit arrogant this season, be interesting to see how they respond to the news if it gets confirmed.

    I'd go to Brighton if I were him. Good owner, good club structure, everyone who goes there seems to leave on an upwards trajectory, good squad with a good recruitment team who have a history of replacing players who leave well, no real pressure to finish top 8. Perfect job.

    And both thought they were too good for us ...

    ... I might go to their derby match at Mansfield if I'm down that way.

    Will follow their progress with interest, although Pritchard had been ostracised in the last few weeks of the season

    Even without McKenna they’re in a much better position than us. If we’re to get promoted we’d have no chance of keeping our assets if the big boys came calling either, money talks unfortunately!

    Yes he got us into the playoffs before time but by the time we got rid of him the team was going backwards. Not; ne is disputing what he done for us but it was time for a change, who we got in was a mistake not the sacking of mowbray.

    Not so sure, do you know who owns them and how many of their players would be wanted by mid-table teams?
