Ian at CI definitely thinks it's not going to be Billy Davies and that there's three names in the frame, one of which will be very popular...

He's not giving much away.

I thought McCarthy did a good job of getting Wolves up. If his chairman hadn't done a 'Panic Pearson' and sacked him during the season when there was still a good chance of Wolves staying up, well, they'd maybe still be there now.
He's a Yorshireman too.
It's not Windass is it?
Indeed, Windass/Horton anyone?
I bloody hope not, I love Deano, but I don't want him as our next manager.
it's East Yorkshire now.
Humberside was abolished about 5 years ago
I think the Allams are preparing the way for Billy Davis. Wasn't the first thing AP did when he got to Derby was sack Mr Davis (and look how that turned out!)? Come to that didn't he get rid of PB soon after coming back to us (and look how that turned out!)?
Hmmm... wonder why he's gone??
Why would Joyce come now when he turned it down last time?
maybe because adam pearson was around, the man who sacked him last time
it has to be Mr Horton/Barmby
IF it is, AA is going quite far to mend the bridges with the fans.
Who is this "Mr Davis" everybody keeps speaking of?
maybe because adam pearson was around, the man who sacked him last time
But he knew that before he entered negotiations (did we get that far with him). If that was a problem he would have said no flat out.

Megson/Laws?I've just heard another suggestion for the popular candidate and I'm not sure he'd be as popular as they think.
This is a fairly classic and typical posting from the last few days.
You start off with a statement, "he knew that before he entered negotiations", making it look like fact, then follow it up with a question, did we get that far with him, meaning you're making **** up, the finish off with another statement about what he allegedly did or didnt do. Genius.
Tut tut, if Adam did that, it was the right thing to do, Adam only ever looked after the best interests of the club and Joyce was clearly a useless twat. Please do not upset the AP/NB police.
