One thing is for sure they will all be professional business people with commercial savvy, not like the bunch going out who didn’t do much for their grossly inflated salaries.

So progress is being made - though transfers are going too slowly - as Allardyce will attest to.

For 6 months to a year - it would be best for the club - and that's the way Shepherd should be thinking about it. The ground expansion and other projects - probably still to be announced - are very exciting for us fans. :D Cicero – excellent comment – think you are right about the role of Shepherd being reduced – and think he knows it – which is why there is a chance he may leave – but agree the odds are on him staying.

The old brigade probably couldn’t sanction any appointment to the coaching staff until Ashley’s plans were unveiled and the size of the transfer kitty determined although that might not be totally available until the NUFC is de-listed from the stock exchange. Mike Ashley’s offer to the shareholders end this Thursday and he should have over the required 90% by then. As far as FFS is concerned I can’t see him not taking some kind of role at least in the short term. It’s probably a good thing from a business point of view as Ashley’s going to press ahead with the ground enlargement and hotel and leisure complex and FFS has been heavily involved. There are probably a whole load of other projects going on like sponsorship and retail that he’s involved in and their needs to be a smooth transition. However, I think his role in transfers and football matters will be minimal from now on.
