That's quite a take up if 30 have applied from people currently employed. Excluding the premiership teams that's 72 clubs and 30 have applied! Not all will be working as a manager but still that shows what appeal we have.

Really hope we don't go for Hart. Seems crazy appointment IMO, how old is he?! Hardly a name to pull in players to drop to L1 to play for us. Hmm, just hope it's as a coach or something instead..

To be fair i did miss O'Neil on that list. When we got Pardew we all thought it was a good appointment and we did well to get him to drop to this level. I don't think anyone else on that list (bar O'Neil) would fit that criteria either.

Don't think there is anyone on there i'd actually want in preference to Pardew. I hope our new manager is someone not on this list. Gianfranco Zola 4/1 Paul Tisdale 5/1 Eddie Howe 6/1 Glenn Hoddle 7/1 Gareth Southgate 8/1 Phil Brown 10/1 Tony Mowbray 10/1 Ian Dowie 14/1 Jim Magilton 14/1 Alan Shearer 16/1 Chris Coleman 16/1 Paul Jewell 16/1 Dean Wikins 16/1 Steve Clarke 16/1 Dennis Wise 16/1 Alan Curbishley 20/1 Paul Ince 20/1 Gary Megson 20/1 Kevin Blackwell 20/1 Micky Adams 22/1 Steve Coppell 25/1 Kevin Keegan 25/1 Chris Wilder 25/1 Alan Knill 28/1 Jim Gannon 28/1 Martin O'Neill 33/1 Jeff Kenna 33/1 Dan Petrescu 40/1 Carlton Palmer 66/1 Matthew Le Tissier 100/1

Not Blackwell either please, played hoof football while at Sheffield utd. Can't think of any likely options. I would guess an Italian because of NC but we need someone who knows the lower leagues but also has good contacts and well respected in order to get people to join us. Wonder if Wilkins will leave once manager in too if not wonder why he is only one to survive?!

Wonder what Gully makes of it, signs one week and the manager has gone already. Maybe we got him because of who was going to be the manager?

Shocked!! What's the betting it's a Italian coming in? Strange timing.

Who are the players wearing 8 and 11 in the training pictures on OS?

i went for PFC-SOPAC (same old pompey always cheating) but mine didn't get thru!

Not the ex Liverpool and Juventus player surely? Must be someone else with the same name...

Whats the mini league name and pin?

I love how people react on here. Rumours about someone we are going to sign and everyone says it's rubbish. Someone says a rumour about someone leaving and people have them as good as gone!!

Saville and Pullis having numbers miles away from everyone else, a sign that they are both leaving perhaps?

I was thinking about Robbie Savages one? Don't like him as a footballer but thought it might have a few good stories in it.

Hoskins and Robinson are both youth players according to OS on twitter.

Going on holiday in a few weeks time, can anyone recommend a good footballers autobiography please?

Just recieved the email this morning that we knew was coming. From Sept prices going up, for me it's £3 per month. I've been with Sky since Aug last year, but took out the Sky Sports package, HD package, Phone and broadband. If i phoned up and said i can't really afford the increase and am looking at cutting back my sky account to save money, do you think they will just say ok or try and offer me a deal to keep it all?

I see in the papers today the are reporting that King, James, Green, Joe Cole and Crouch are the players expected to be dropped from the squad. So dropping squad players, not exactly what is needed really is it!

Do any of the players tweet do u know? If u don't like twitter or fb please don't comment on this with sarcy comments

Might still be with us, could be going on a season loan if still our player.

Is he still with us or did he get let go last season? What's he like? Apparently he is playing for L2 side aldershot tonight in their pre season game.

Dr Crippen

Does anyone know what the situation is with Bart? Is he still with us and gone to Switzerland or has he now left the club?!?
