Meanwhile, back at Sid James Park...Newcastle have named former Wimbledon, Luton and Nottingham Forest manager Joe Kinnear as their interim boss until the end of October. The Magpies have been without a manager since Kevin Keegan quit on 4 September.
In the meantime, the consortium of Nigerian businessmen says it has raised £350m to buy the club from current owner Mike Ashley, but they may need another £100m to secure the deal.
One may recall Ashley recently announcing he had put the football club up for sale, following major protests from Newcastle United fans (aggrieved by Keegan's departure) who called for Ashley to leave and the club's board to be sacked.
Magpies name Kinnear interim boss
Another crazy day in the mixed up world of Newcastle United FC, I guess...but I got to admit I'm quite surprised about Joe Kinnear's appointment. He hasn't worked in football management for four years.
But then it appears Newcastle United has become a football manager's poison chalice, even on a temporary basis...
