Odds on Rudkin/Stowell for Sunday

Highly unlikely, Nigel should be appointed later today, although if it were to stretch to Thursday I should imagine that Birch would bring him out on Sunday and present him to the crowd but he wouldn't take charge.

Hearing what on radio Leicester?

Slack Jack - That the deal's being held up yet again.

It is very frustrating but hopefully patience will win the day. Andrew Neville and Susan Whelan should have enough relevant experience between them to get this sorted out accordingly. One thing that occurs to me is that Pearson likes to bring a lot of staff with him, such as all the technical guys in the background. Perhaps Hull aren't too keen to let them go?

Either way, I think the chances of Rudkin & Stowell being in charge are less than the chances of the Crystal Palace fans singing "Sacked in the morning" at some point to whoever's in charge.

Hull are just prevaricating to hold matters up so Pearson does not have any preparation time with the players before the next match
