I've just heard on Radio 5 Live, and am now looking at twitter reports that according to the Turklish media former Barcelona manager, who has been managing Galatasaray Frank Rijkaard has resigned from the club.....

You think he's heading for Boro?

I'll be amazed if Tony "Mogga" Mowbray doesn't return to Boro as manager. He was ain inspirational captain in the 80s and 90s and-apart from Celtic-has had a pretty decent managerial record.

I think Mogga returning would give the club and the fans a huge lift. However, one negative could be the fact the squad is full of players he got rid of at Celtic...
Whoever gets the job, things can't get much worse than they are now (unless Phil Brown gets the job).

Latest odds:
4/6 Mowbray 7/2 Ince (has shortened dramatically since Monday) 5/1 Megson (where are those cyanide pills I've been saving?) 8/1 Brown 12/1 Billy Davies (not sure where that one came from but he'd do a good job) 14/1 O'Driscoll 14/1 Lambert 14/1 Pardew 16/1 Agnew 20/1 Dave Jones 20/1 O'Neill (should be 200/1) 20/1 Clark 22/1 Poyet 22/1 Pearson (like Mowbray, would be popular with fans but timing is wrong) 22/1 Coppell 25/1 Curbishley 25/1 Vialli

Billy Davies is interesting. If this were three months down the line then I think you'd get him. I'm still convinced that he'll stay until January and will then leave in February when we fail in the transfer market yet again.

Skybet joining in now... They have Megson as short as 6/4... Ince now as short as 2/1 with Ladbrokes. For the first time since Strachan left, Mowbray is no longer odds-on with some bookies.

Megson was on Sky Sports News last night as a match reporter along with Merson, Thompson etc. Maybe he said something there about being interested?

I hope that's all it is...
Surely Gibson wouldn't be so stupid as to appoint him when attendances are already lower than they've ever been since the Riverside opened...?

Tony Mowbray would be the best choice for footballing reasons but he sold atleast 4 players to boro because he thought they were not good enough, on the other hand, looks like he was right lol. my money is on southgate returning to lead boro to league 1, im already copyrighting the film rights because thet would be unreal, yet possible because it is boro

I saw the Soccer Special with Megson on Tuesday, but didn't hear what he said, may have been at the start or end of the show as missed that bit. Remember when they spoke to Dowie about the prospect of taking the Hull job last season, he said that while he was interested nothing had happened as yet otherwise he wouldn't have been working for Sky that night!

Hughton sacked by Newcastle! Newcastle after 16 games in PL... 10/11: 11th (19 pts) 08/09: 17th (16 pts) 07/08: 10th (22 pts) 06/07: 14th (19 pts) 05/06: 10th (22 pts) 04/05: 12th (20 pts) Not much difference, is there?

It seems the silly season has started after the sacking of "Big Sam". Until doing my predictions at the start of the season I hadn't realised just how quiet they'd been in the transfer market, thats why I tipped them to finish 16th (although 10th-16th was so open i could have seen them finish 10th again). Given that this is probably the most open and competitive PL season I can remember they're doing well to be 13th atm imo. He deserved the chance to spend some money in Jan.
