It's quiet .........so who thinks

You've clearly not seen the canteen cam footage

Can't see BM staying Stoopo, judging by the body language in one of his recent interviews I'd say he's already been told.

Cellino has big plans, big plans require big players and an even bigger manager / coach.

Was thinking yesterday, happens occasionally, if BM has been stripped of the managers role, and is now just the bus, I mean coach, would that mean a contract is rewritten?

Anyone got the jist on that?

I woulda sacked him last week and brought in a foreign coach that plays attractive football. Coulda had a couple of players lined up by now and an idea of who to keep and what formation etc. Longer BM stays, the more damage we do to next season

I think the concept of bringing in a new coach to work 'alongside' BM would be a disaster. You have to have one person who is in charge, who makes all the key decisions and who takes responsibility when things go badly.

BM was irrevocably undermined when sacked.

His position with the club has been untenable since then.

Jonty, Ironically I think BM's faux-sacking might actually keep him at the helm a little longer. With the form in recent months, complete lack of direction on the pitch, and decisions made which now appear to show poor judgement - the manager would ordinarily have had the boot long since by now.

I think Cellino will be keen to be seen as a reasonable man to work with; and will be conscious that he's already made a mistake with the original sacking.

Wise and Poyet did ok didn't they?

Cough and Taylor?

I'd even say that Don would gave struggled a bit without Les Cocker - one of the best coaches in the game ever IMO!

Stoopo, Yes but in all those pairings there was a clear manager and a clear assistant. Also, the assistant was the choice of the manager as someone they knew they could work with - not a demoted former manager.

I think a new coach chosen by Cellino joining up with the incumbent manager is a different thing.

I think BM undermined his own position with the way in which he's gone about his business before, during and after the takeover.

On the pitch we've been a shambles and he's been too ready to blame everyone but himself.

As I see it his retention thus far is simply a stay of execution.

We need a more dynamic coach, one that motivates rather than have a nice chat.

Warwick, completely agree its been a double edged sword.

Not sure any manager would have appeared to be doing a good job with such a lack if support and indeed interference from the board.

Now Cellino is telling bm where to play players, can't see bm lasting beyond the summer.
