I see Torquay have appointed internally for their new manager. Is that our old Lee Hodges that's become their No. 2 or the other Lee Hodges that was playing at a similar time?

I've only seen the tag line on SSN about it over breakfast this morning, and no more details on it, hence the question.

Big Foot Holloway set to become Millwall manager


:shock: They'll eat him alive!

The Millwall fans I know were actually calling for Holloway to be made manager before that Vermin bloke they had in charge, so they're delirious. I think if he gets all the fans on his side, he'll be a hero down there.

May I suggest Paul Ince may be looking at the chop up at Blackpool - no win since the end of November (1 draw and 7 defeats since then, including FA Cup exit)

Discontent in the ranks (all be it from a fringe player in Chopra) too:

Blackpool striker Michael Chopra has been fined £10,000 after an expletive-laden attack on the club's training arrangements.
The 30-year-old, who is yet to score for the club following his summer move, says that he arrived for training on Tuesday morning to find only six players present.
The subsequent session, Chopra claims, was taken by Blackpool fitness coach and the former Newcastle United frontman posted on Twitter: 'F***ing joke this come in training only 6 f***ing players here then find out the fitness coach taken the football session #joke'.

Has anyone had a look on KUMB. I bet that's a fun place to be the last couple of days, and even more so this morning.

Which is why they've started a thread about getting refunds on second leg tickets

I think he left some time ago. He certainly does not appear in their list of staff. Perhaps he was a casualty of their pretty dire financial straits .

In terms of the second leg, surely the stadium will be half empty?

Can't believe they are charging £42 for a ticket (I think that's what I read).

Sky Sports reporting the owner and chairman at Southampton have fallen out and the chairman is likely to be on his way. Their manager has said he will leave if the chairman does.
