    If Pearson goes the new manager might like Beckford though. Same with Neil Danns

    Pearson gave them both a chance, lets not waste another seasons wages on them maybe turning out ok.

    ... Grayson has actually achieved 3 promotions with different teams in a relatively short managerial career (admittedly from League One - but he also laid the foundations for Holloway's promtion clinching Blackpool team) ... what's more he has always worked under tough financial constraints ... he may not be eveybody's cup of tea, but our fans loved him as a player and I think most Leicester fans would 'give him a chance' to see what he could achieve with a big war chest behind him etc ...

    Beckford's limitations are there for all to see (his best days now arguably behind him) ... Danns, on the other hand, has the ability to be a very influential player at this level ... if everything else fits into place ...

    Danns does alot of work, but hes not really pulling up trees at Huddersfield.

    Something tells me we arent going to be able to shift Beckford

    Beckford has scored 4 goals?

    No one is going to either pay a decent fee or pay him big wages on the back on that. Had he scored 15-20 goals then maybe

    I think Danns is a very very good player at this level but i also accept that something, that no one knows, has happened behind the scenes and NPs methods of turning the team of egos around into a well disciplined group has meant that we are unable to play him. And his disciplinary method has clearly worked when you compare the 2 squads and the work ethic (forget this 'blip').

    And he will be on astronomical wages as we were competeing with a very Rangers, in europe, at the time.

    I've got an iPhone 4s. There's not many football Apps that aren't games.

    Football related, I have SkySportNews, SkySportsScoreCentre, BBC Sport News, Not606, Football Manager Handheld 2013 and Phones4u Fantasy Football.

    Shouldn't do.

    As long as you connect it to the Computer with your USB, you should just be able to click on "iPhone" at the top right of your iTunes and just sync the music onto it. <ok>

    @henrywinter: GNev laments loss of reserve football to give teenagers experience. "I played against Ian Marshall of Oldham, got battered, toughened me up"
