| Pep's off at the end of the season |

Pep Clotet will leave his position as Birmingham City head coach at the end of the season.
The Spaniard, 43, has been allowed to leave the Championship club to "explore other coaching opportunities".
Clotet had been assisting previous boss Garry Monk before succeeding him as head coach, initially on an interim basis, in June 2019.
Blues are 16th in the Championship table, with the season expected to resume on 20 June.
Clotet said: "It's been a really difficult decision to take because it's a privilege to be part of the Blues family, but it's the best step for everyone and it allows the club to continue to move forward with their vision and strategy."
Chief executive Dong Ren said: "Pep will depart with our very best wishes.
"In the meantime, Pep continues to have our full backing and we are all determined to do everything we can to finish the season strongly and give him the fitting send-off he deserves."
Blues are eight points clear of the relegation zone with nine matches still to play.
Clotet's exit later this summer will leave Birmingham looking for a sixth manager in just three and a half years.
Since Gary Rowett was sacked in December 2016, Gianfranco Zola (four months), Harry Redknapp (five months), Steve Cotterill (five months), Monk (15 months) and Clotet (12 months) have all had spells in charge of Blues.
Analysis
Richard Wilford, BBC WM's Birmingham City reporter
Clotet had never expected to find himself as the head coach at St Andrew's, and only anticipated being a temporary fix when Monk departed.
Not entirely comfortable with the spotlight, Clotet sought to engineer the change in style desired by the owners without necessarily having the full set of resources required.
At times, this led to compromise in order to put points on the board. He showed commitment to younger players, most notably creating the perfect platform for the gifted Jude Bellingham to learn and thrive.
At the time that football was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, Blues were closer to their target of better football. The acquisition of a second striker, Scott Hogan, to support the ever-willing Lukas Jutkiewicz gave the team considerably more balance.
But the virus may also have made up Pep's mind to move on. He returned to Spain to spend time with his young family during the crisis. It would be no surprise if he chose to continue his coaching career nearer home.
The assistant who became the boss
Clotet was Monk's assistant at Swansea and Leeds, but when Monk moved to Middlesbrough in 2017, this time it was without Clotet, who had a brief spell as Oxford manager.
The pair were reunited again at St Andrew's in March 2018, however, when Monk was sacked by Blues last summer, this time they parted on bad terms.
Before his new club Sheffield Wednesday played Blues in November, Monk said he had made an "error of judgement" in working with Clotet.
After six months as an interim appointment, Clotet's role with Blues was rubber-stamped on a more permanent basis in December, and the pair shook hands before a February meeting between the two clubs at St Andrew's in February.
Blues spent part of the 2019-20 season under an English Football League investigation on a financial misconduct charge, but that was dismissed in March, subject to an EFL appeal against the independent disciplinary commission's decision.
They were deducted nine points in the 2018-19 season for breaching the EFL's profitability and sustainability rules. And, like his predecessor Monk, Clotet has had to perform his job under the same backdrop of concern over what might happen.

If you behave like a moron, you have lost the argument AND the support of many people who would otherwise be on your side.

Hearing a few whispers on Twitter that book named Buzaglo to Balis is being written by no more than Chris Lepkowski the ex Brum mail writer,
Not hundred percent sure it's him soley but he is talking some part in it,
There's a few quotes from different people especially about players who let the club down and he's throwing snippets out on to Twitter with the important names missing,
I'll post a few as they post them, a couple have been worked out , a lot are wrong as the Twitter account points out,
Should be fun for a while,I'll post a couple shortly
Beefy
1/ ...He turned up in black jeans, a scruffy t-shirt & his cap all askew, sat there with his legs dangling over the side of the f***ing chair. He was a right state. If I’d been more experienced I’d have said thanks but no thanks. I shouldn’t have signed him..."
Gary Megson #wba
2/ "...I can’t just blame one player for a 5-1 defeat. That whole thing was ridiculous. We had people trying to find him, but nobody could get hold of him. Would *** have made a big difference to that score? I suspect not. But it was hugely embarrassing..."
Denis Smith #wba
3/ "...I didn't want a big car. I wasn't a racing driver. I bought a Fiat Panda because it was me. What kind of 18-year-old turns up in a BMW or Mercedes before he has played a 1st team game? I was ***** the West Bromwich footballer, not ***** the BMW driver..." #wba
4/ “…Then the waitress goes over with two of the biggest cod & chips I’ve ever seen; the cod was hanging off the bloody plates. I couldn’t believe it. It’s a couple of nights before the Wolves match & these 2 Wednesday players are in the pub. I was going mad...”
Gary Megson #wba
** No answer to this as yet !!
5/ “...Alan Buckley? Bloody hell, I'm going to need another pint first. I remember going into his office and asking him: ‘Why the f*** do you keep buying Grimsby players? We are West Bromwich Albion. This is embarrassing'..." ???
6/ …We saw these fans carrying a coffin past the hotel window with a photo of Bobby attached – all the lads were sat there nudging each other going ‘bloody hell, look at that’. Bobby stood up and said ‘right lads, today we’re going to walk to the ground’…” ????
7/ “...I got there in the morning and before lunch they already told me they wanted me. I had decided the night before... This was the club I wanted. They didn’t need to sell the club to me. I knew what Albion was... ???
8/ "...First game I parked on some dog-rough car park. A young lad came up & said 'can you sign his please?' His dad leaned over & said 'aye...get him to sign that quickly because he'll be going the same way as the others.' One of the papers had '******* who?' But I think I did ok...
