Someone has just posted a tweet showing a helicopter landing at the stadium. Let’s hope someone has come to sack Selles.

Dunno where does he live? Didn’t pauno stay at the hotel for months before he found somewhere to live? But anyway I doubt he needs to be present if indeed that is dia or pang arriving. Or they could just call him in or do it over the phone.

Or it could just be some rich vvanker staying at the hotel

Hound
WestYorksRoyal This is the issue. People say they want experienced options, then when one comes along they say "not them". Similar reaction to Cowley rumours in the summer. Some were even questioning Wilder based upon his Boro job. Experienced managers will have blemishes on their record otherwise they will be managing at a higher level.

Ainsworth has an excellent record at this level. QPR are a poor Championship side, whereas this squad is underperforming. If he is willing to jump straight back in, I'd definitely take him.


The issue isn’t he’s experienced, it’s that he’s just failed in a team in a similar situation

There are plenty of other experienced managers available

People have had a hard on for him for years. Even based on his performance at Wycombe they were anti-football, which suits us not at all.

Looking even more like a one club wonder now.

But, someone with any sort of track record of success is better than pretty much anyone we've appointed for years.

There`s a coach there too, probably connected in some way, high profile person at the hotel maybe.

Oh yeah. I think he’s a half decent manager who in different circumstances might be a good appointment

Just the enthusiasm for someone who has just failed to turn round a very similar club to us in a very similar situation and is on a current run of 5 wins from 28 (prob v similar to our own) is a bit baffling

Alan Nixon reporting that Ashley would bring Pards back, which makes sense on many levels. I'm already over his West Ham move. If he kept us up he'd get legendary status given his 1st spell.
