Part of you wants the club to stay quiet and avoid blunders, however I wish Ashley would give a proper interview and lay out the plans, rather than relying on tittle tattle from papers.

Extraordinary Measures Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser I would suggest that never in the history of movie making has such a potentially great film being ruined by wooden acting, criminal scriptwriting and awful direction. The story is factually based on a father with two children with pompe disease. They are 8 and 9 and the life expectancy for this disease is 9. He researches their disease, sets out to meet leading scientists, raises millions, sets up his own research company and finally finds a cure. It should have been a heart wrenching classic, instead it was shit. 4 / 10

Cheers mate and to all that voted Lucky Escape mate

Looking at the deals that have fallen through, it could well be that Ashley has looked at how Llambias has done on that score and realised he couldn't negotiate a good deal on ice from the eskimos. However, he's tying any negotiators hands behind their back with his ALLEGED wage structure and a rigid ceiling on transfer fees.

IF its a true story then this is the line that matters. This suggest a substantial operator rather than a JFK / Oleary personality. There is no way Ashley is going to get rid of LLambias because of Ewerks comments and also because he trusts him to run things for him. The have however, rightly, identified a huge gap at the club and if they find a good operator I welcome this move. I also think Hughton would welcome it. Ashley and Llambias have been doing the role so far so Im sure Hughton would welcome a proper football man to fight his battles upstairs. Well yeah, but name somewhere in this country where that has actually worked? The latest one is Billy Davies at Forest....he's a fuckin dick,granted, but he has to report to David Pleat. He wanted to bring players in in March to make a final push for the top 2 places but just eneded up in a slanging match with Pleat and other board members. Whatever my own personal feelings towards him are, he's got proven ability as a football manager.Why won't Pleat back him up, being a fellow "football man" as you put it? The bottom line is we are back in the big league, big fees, big (er) stars, bigger agents, bigger wages etc. Ashley will not want Hughton to take all that on and knows himself and Llambias cant. Hughton also comes across as the type who would rather be out there coaching than negogiating with Agents. As Alex mentioned other clubs have good CEO's that handle this. He wont sack Llambias so the next best option is too appoint a new CEO but call him a director of football. Im really excited about the summer months. i think you might have a point to be fair. i'm not a fan of the dof model usually as there will always be the inevitable clashes over who decides on transfers - keegan being a case in point. but hughton is a far more junior figure than keegan, lhe has ess of an ego and isn't as big a personality. it might be that he's happy for a technical head to come in and help identify and sign players so he just has to concentrate on coaching them. it's a big if mind. potentially could go tits up again. hughton might not be game. appointing the right man is also key. we don't need another dennis wise type coming in and signing dodgy players off the back of youtube or to keep south american agents onside I think its also worthwhile bearing in mind that (even though it seems alien) Hughton, Llambias and Ashley have a relationship based on TRUST. It might even be that Chris has asked for help. (would be a wise decision if he has). Let someone else get bogged down in an office and concentrate on winning games.

Im really excited about the summer months. ok fair one, but why does it have to be a football man as that would just undermine Hughton before he's even finished his list of players he wants? Appoint a deal maker,a good negotiater and someone who can close by all means, but dont send a "we dont trust you"message to Hughton before he even starts the job. My understanding of a "football man" IS a deal maker / negogiater like David Dein etc. The football man bit to me just means that he has experience doing these things in football. I totally agree that an ex manager doing the job seems problematic.

Championship Team Of The Year Lee Camp (Nottingham Forest) The former Derby keeper has been the key to Forest's impressive collection of clean sheets this season - more than 20 - and his form led to him being touted as an outside bet for the England squad. His priority though is to get Forest into the Premier League. Chris Gunter (Nottingham Forest) Like keeper Camp, Gunter has also played a big part in Forest's push for the play-offs on the back of an exceptional defensive record. The former Cardiff and Spurs full-back already has 20 international caps to his name as a member of John Toshack's young Welsh squad. Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle) The Argentine international has been a mainstay of Newcastle's defence this season as the Magpies, under the expert leadership of Chris Hughton, have secured an immediate return to the Premier League. His class has shone through in the Championship this season. Ashley Williams (Swansea) After being overlooked as a youth player by West Brom - and following a spell in non league with Hednesford - Williams has established himself as a Welsh international of some repute, initially with Stockport and later Swansea. He was named Wales Footballer of the Year in 2009. Jose Enrique (Newcastle) After starting his career in Spain with Levante, Enrique had spells with Valencia, Celta Vigo and Villarreal before joining Newcastle in the summer of 2007. Enrique scored his first goal for the Magpies in a 2-0 league win over promotion rivals Nottingham Forest on 29th March. Graham Dorrans (West Brom) The £100,000 Albion paid Livingston two years ago looks to have been great business by the West Midlands club. A prolific goalscorer from midfield, newly-promoted West Brom gave him a new three-and-a-half year contract to keep the likes of Manchester City at bay. Peter Whittingham (Cardiff) A member of Aston Villa's FA Youth Cup winning side of 2002, Whittingham learned his trade at Villa Park but has truly come of age with Cardiff and found his niche as a creative midfield player with an eye for goal. His 20+ goal haul has been a huge bonus for the Bluebirds. Kevin Nolan (Newcastle) The Newcastle skipper has led from the front this season and, after the disappointment of relegation from the Premier League, has inspired his side from the off. The Magpies have bounced back at the first attempt - thanks in no small part to Nolan's double-figure goal tally. Charlie Adam (Blackpool) Charlie Adam has been an absolute inspiration for the Tangerines this season and manager Ian Holloway, not normally a man who struggles for words, is fast running out of superlatives to describe his skilful, creative, free-scoring midfielder who has become a firm fans' favourite. Andy Carroll (Newcastle) Andy Carroll has been challenged to earn the right to become Newcastle's next official owner of the famous No.9 shirt, and he has certainly made a strong claim, using his aerial power and physical presence to out-muscle defenders and help himself to a bundle of goals. Michael Chopra (Cardiff) Michael Chopra was in danger of becoming labelled something of a loan ranger after a succession of spells on the road at such clubs as Watford, Nottingham Forest, Barnsleyand Cardiff where he has now settled and is producing the best, most consistent form of his career. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6116528,00.html
