Think the job is Graeme jones if he wants it, though he may not want to to step in the limelight, some are just happy to remain a number 2.

Failing that Gary Neville. I reckon he’d take it too if he seriously wants to move into management, close to home, decent squad with a good chance of promotion which requires improvement in defence which is his area of speciality.

Still not got tired of watching that. In injury time the sheer elation, ecstacy, pandemonium in that moment the ball hit the net and the realisation we had just won the FA Cup will remain with us forever. Just doesn’t get better than that.

Not sure if still on a high after winning the cup but can honestly say I don’t feel even 90 percent as gutted as I thought I would be after going down. It almost feels like a relief.

Looking forward to tomorrow to show my appreciation for the players and manager, cannot wait to see them parading the cup around the ground and I’m already looking forward to what will hopefully be an exciting and fruitful campaign next year ( just hope my enthusiasm isn’t dampened by loss of too many players over the summer and we make the right managerial appointment if Martinez decides to move on to pastures new)

Alcaraz Figs and di Santo have all indicated they won’t renew contract so no chance now we have gone down. Joel and scharner will return to parent clubs.

McCarthy has served his time with us and would have gone anyway in summer.

Kone I understand has a release clause and pretty sure that will be met as seems good value, though if he stayed reckon we would score a shedload and lead us to promotion.

Maloney and mcmanaman I think will be happy to stay, though if club receives big offers they will be sold.

Clearly majority of these players are defenders and forwards and so major strengthening will be needed in these areas. However don’t forget in championship we are allowed a lot more loan signings and given clubs reputation on playing style and nurturing players we should be first in line for any top quality loanees from parent clubs.

Whilst McCarthy fee should be used for reinvestment I also think a good chunk should be for massive incentive bonuses if we get back up for those players we want to keep like kone, Maloney etc. the players we have left in squad are all more than good enough for championship and supplemented with new signings and loan players even with above departures we should have a very good and competitive squad. Of course who stays, goes and who comes in will be influenced by who is in charge and yes plans need putting in place immediately.

Don’t get those that booed last night, disgraceful in my opinion. Yes we were poor but ultimately it wasn’t due to a lack of effort. Anyone see McCarthy at the end he looked distraught and this is a lad who will playing in the top flight next year with or without us so no can can tell me they don’t care.

I even heard some clown on the way out slagging of Gomez and blaming him for the defeat, unbelievable. We were all gutted last night, still am, but what on earth was the point of these tossers booing the players, just don’t get it.

Fine margins. If MacArthur had connected to make it 3 we most likely would have won.

If the defence hadn’t been decimated by loss of ramis and Alcaraz for most of season pretty confident we wouldn’t have been in this position. Just made worse by loss of figs, jean, at such a crucial time. Even the much maligned caldwell hasnt been fit all season and even the back up Lopez is still injured. In a system where we play 3 centre halves its been horrendous bad luck. Yeah we can criticise last nights formation, personnel and defensive tactics but ultimately I think these injuries told in the end.

I’m all for staying positive but sometimes you just have to accept reality and face up to the facts, unfortunately this season we have come up short and are down.
