Mauricio Taricco's suspension at Brighton has been lifted.

Charlie Oatway and Gus Poyet are still under investigation.

Looks like Laudrup's position at Swansea is in doubt:

Always wondered about conflicts of interest when players and managers have the same agent.

Joe Kinnear takes over as new Newcastle DoF. Can see Pards maybe walking over this. Worth a punt at 12/1

Not a bad shout at all Pepe.

"I'll sit down with Alan Pardew and talk to him about the strengths, weaknesses and what we need to be successful," said Kinnear. "I know I've got more knowledge than anyone at Newcastle as a football manager.

"That's not being disrespectful to anybody. And I know I will bend over backwards to do the best I possibly can to make Newcastle a better team than they are now. It's glaringly clear where we need to improve, and it'll be my job – my job – to go and buy these players to make Newcastle better. I'm a good judge of players. I've got a bright head, I know a good player when I see one, and can get the right players in for us to be successful. There's no other agenda here. And if I see players at the club right now who are not good enough, then I intend to move them on.

I like how he announced 'in the 2 years I was there I got to know the club inside out' and a journalist had to remind him he was only previously there for 6 months

"We were third from bottom when I took over and we were 12th when I had my heart attack," added Kinnear.

"From there we got relegated. People were trying to implicate me when the club went down. That was a load of rubbish. I've never been a manager of a club that's been relegated [Luton were relegated while he was in charge in 2001]."

Bigger LOL is he's announced all this before the club have confirmed it

Given that you generally sign your employment contract on your first day, this could be a "risky strategy"
