It's the timing more than the money. It was top of his agenda in January ffs. Here's a Tom Fox quote for his gravestone: "Can't they see how hard we're working? Commercially we're one of the best in the country."

Tks. In some respects, I don't think it matters. I really don't see us bouncing back up, so at the end of next season whoever it is will probably get sacked. The next guy after the next guy, that's the guy to watch out for. I'd still like Moyes though pls.

I don't, really. I just know a lot of people at the club, and that's what I was told. I haven't seen the contracts or anything like that. I'm not Randy Lerner.

Deal has been agreed with the new manager, but he won't take over until relegation is confirmed. No-one will tell me who it is though

Don't know who it is, but the club are targeting a "Disciplinarian".

Anyone heard that the club are looking to sack Gabby, over some minor breach of contract thing? I suppose it's worth trying, even if just for a laugh, but I can't see it. The PFA will go apeshit,

Goes to the games with two bodyguards now. Not sure that's gonna be enough.

New badge for next season. The bigwigs have been putting a lot of effort into this behind the scenes, it's what they were prioritising throughout the January transfer window, no jokes. Only decision is whether to release it sooner, to give us all a big lift now, or save it for after relegation, you know, like when the school nurse used to give you a lollipop after a jab. I ain't seen the **** thing, but I hear that "Prepared" is getting ditched.

Funnily enough, one of the two players you mentioned there told me.

None of the players have got clauses in their contracts that would cut their wages in the event of relegation, so I reckon we can look forward to seeing more of the same in the Championship next season.

Pulis made representations to the club over the summer*, keen to make a step up from the wee, blighted baggies. At the time the club was like, no tks, we're alright tks, but would seem a smart move to me, situation we're in right now. * Allegedly or whatever I spose for legal reasons, but it ain't really, it's well sourced, trust.

Staying at Villa, signed his contract last week. I happen to have a good source on this, fwiw

Pretty funny piece on WBA here that a Southampton mate sent me. I think they've got them first up next week. http://bearsyinvestigates.blogspot.co.uk/

I watched The Conjuring. Well, about the first 50 minutes of it. Bird made me leave because she was having a panic attack or something. She spent half the night checking wardrobes.
