    I read maybe on the Athletic that the Wolves owners are considering pulling out, as are the West Brom owners. A lot of these Chinese firms got involved in Footy because the government was promoting it, now they're getting cold feet.

    That, selling some players and a bit of a wet season might have had him sending his CV out

    That's interesting, hadn't heard that. I'd definitely take a few of their players. Think Southampton are also Chinese owned (might be wrong though), time to go poaching

    Do you think Nuno will go Spurs? I think he's a decent manager but from being part of the Super League, to losing Mourinho, probably losing Kane, then appointing Wolves manager. Bit of realism for them

    I think he's a good shout for them, he's got a solid reputation so there won't be too many groans from fans, he'll be made up with the job so won't start off with big money demands, he plays a style that suits their squad too.

    Don't think he's the answer like, but for a season or two he might have them playing decent football.

    They got some big debts to organise

    Just sayin' Wolves should really go for Lampard, I think he'd be perfect for them.

    Good shout, I read he turned Palace down because they need a rebuild but Wolves might work. Not sure how good he is to be honest. I think Gerrard would be worth a go for someone like Wolves

    I think Gerrard is gonna be a top manager, he's transformed that Rangers squad, I hear some Liverpool fans expect Gerrard will never manager a premier league club apart from them <laugh>

    Musta forgotten that he handed in a transfer request like.

    Gerrard will stick with Rangers another season and win another trophy or two I think, Celtic will need a few years to catch up. Milk it for a silverware.

    Celtic not binning Lennon last year has set them back a few years

    I like Howe as a manager but is he mentally tough enough to take on Gerrard? Obviously I hope so but I wouldn't be shocked if he becomes a bottler

    Think whoever gets the Celtic job has a tough job, Edouard will go, Brown has gone and the rest of the squad is pretty bad except Turnbull

    Celtic could be up **** creek a few years tbh, I know financially they're in a bit of a **** spot, so I think spending a ton of cash to try and compete with Rangers right now is a terrible idea. I don't think winning the SPL is going to claw back the financial outlay required to compete with Tavernier , Morelos and the like.

    In footy you sometimes just have to take the L and let things swing back in your favour.

    Player for player I don't think Rangers are much better to be honest. Edouard is better than anything Rangers have, Kent is good though and Tavernier should be playing at a better level. Think the rest of it is pretty even but Rangers have more mental toughness now. I used to rate Calum McGregor, thought he'd do a job down here but they made him captain this season and he was weak as piss and got himself sent off

    Palace said at the start they didn't want Lampard. They want experience.

    Having looked at the Spurs forum, they're 100% against Nuno, they say he's a poor man's Mourinho who plays worse football.

    Apparently they haven't approached Nuno anyway, it's just coincidence that he handed his notice in at the same time.

    Apparently a big name in football management has started talks with Wolves.

    7 backroom staff members have now left.

    Its inevitable he will one day manage us, especially if he keeps doing well at rangers, but I've said before he needs to prove himself at another prem team before he or we even think about it.

    So many great players turn out to be **** managers and although he's done brilliantly up in jocklund let's not forget it's a 2 team league.
