Forrest Green Rovers basically calling out the Bolton Owner as a dodgy b*****d.

Fair play to them, the Bolton owner is indeed a dodgy b*****d

In other news, Gary Madine, a man once jailed for punching a Sheffield United fan for the sin of being a Sheffield United fan has joined the Blades on loan.  Not sure how warm a reception the ex-Wednesday man will get

Mixed reviews from United fans. Some saying if he scores goals and gets United up then they couldn’t care what he did in the past and others saying what he done to the United fan plus what he said about Billy Sharp and the club and to then sign him are a disgrace to the club. This signing would of defintly not been done if Billy Sharp wasn’t happy with it that’s for sure.

David Moyes is an absolute fraud and shouldn't be allowed near a football club. It's very easy to label Sunderland a basket case of a club and gloss over his tenure there, but he was catastrophic from day one when he declared they were in a relegation battle after the first game of the season. Avoid.

The betting markets now have Nathan Jones of Luton Town as the odds-on favourite.  

The Hatters fans will be livid if he goes. The Luton board should tell the Stoke spivs to GTF.

Nathan Jones has indeed gone and there are indeed some livid fans.

Stephen Robinson in among those being mentioned to take over from Jones.

Should FA ban manager poaching during the season? It must be absolutely gutting for Luton fans, they were looking like they were gonna get promoted. I suppose they still could, but Brentford fell apart when Dean Smith left.

All depends on who the replace him with. Big decision for the board

The Luton board bottled it and must have a small club mentality. Nathan Jones could have taken them from League 2 to the Championship in two seasons. To let him go at this stage in the season is sheer madness.

Brentford's collapse started before Smith left, he hadn't won in his last 6 games. The poor run, added with the death of a very popular Technical Director probably made it a difficult task for Frank coming in. I'm unsure if Smith would have changed anything as he very much lacked a plan B.

Think he knew from the attitude of the players what lay ahead that season. That team were goosed from the get go. He came in and done well at west ham, ok they weren’t cruising up the table and playing pretty football, but he had the man management skills to keep that team up.

He'd just watched a narrow 2-1 defeat at Man City in a game that was only decided by an unfortunate last minute own goal. He also had players like Defoe, Pickford etc and money to spend to strengthen. Not goosed at all imo until he started spunking cash on absolute wasters like Djilibodji and N'Dong

Nah, considering the situation that they pulled the club out of, to where they are now, with planning application for the new stadium and other developments to be decided later this month... Losing a manager to Bet365's money is a blip...(incidentally Luton have turned down sponsorship from betting companies). Good luck to NJ when he finally takes over at Barca.

Mick Harford in interim charge starting with Saturday's trip to his home town Sunderland. Apparently west Brom have been approached about Graeme Jones...would save costs on a new sign for the manager's desk...

Having defoe was all fine and well, but that defence and its half arsed attitude was ultimately their downfall, starting the season slowly, unfit, year after year was ultimately going to end one way. Moyes was just in the unfortunate position of being there when it finally happened. Coleman and grayson proved last year that even with a decent manager that team weren’t good enough. Moyes wasn’t good enough for united i will give you that, but proved he is capable at west ham.

Karanka out at Forest

He has asked to be released from his contract according to the club statement

The BBC website says

"It seems there's been some falling-out and disagreements behind the scenes, and this has been speculated on in public since Boxing Day, when it was our understanding he was on the brink of going at that point.

He's held on for another 10 days or so before it has come to a head over the past couple of days.

Exactly what the disagreements are about is unclear but it's been fairly obvious for a month or so before Christmas that Karanka wasn't entirely happy with life at the City Ground."

Sounds like a bust-up over the transfer window.

Martin O'Neill is available. Jokanovic might be a decent shout.
