Neil Harris is favourite for the Huddersfield job so Milwall might be Danny’s next destination.

His odds have come in from about 28/1 to nearly odds on i was reading earlier so there’s been some money on him

Would he really want the upheaval of moving his family again such a short time after moving them up here?

I'm not sure from that comment that we can imply you're a particularly impartial local journalist?
And are things made up? Yes, they are, because speculation fuels sales and clicks. Plus, football writers are completely used by managers, agents, chairmen, players to further their own agendas. Often, when there's an actual bona-fide story the local journalist will be told to keep it to themselves.
At Bradford City they were strongly against their owner, and when he finally departed last December the chief sports writer wrote this damning verdict:

Fans quite rightly asked why the local paper hadn't reported any of that previously? In fact a couple of months earlier the same writer had been asking fans to give him another chance. The answer is in the symbiotic relationship the local paper has with its football club.

I don't work for the BBC, so I don't have to be impartial. Calling Donald Trump a moron isn't particularly controversial, anyway...
Well, I've worked in local newspapers for six years in both news and sport and, while I have my frustrations with the need to drive online hits, not once have I been told to make something up. You're quite right to bring up the relationship between journalists, agents, managers and chairmen and it can often be a difficult balancing act, but the best journalists rely on trust-worthy sources and not those who clearly have an agenda to drive.

If you or one of your colleagues did though, would the Editor go all Ben Bradlee on you and demand to know you had corroborating sources? :)

Just hope all this speculation that keeps coming doesn't ruin what could be another special season.

Have you asked The Donald if he minds being called a moron or is that just something you and the British media made up?

Yep, MAY, if we don't go up.[/QUOTE]
IMO In that case it depends if we make the playoffs and maintain visibility. If we don't I'd guess it will go quiet as regards a move, in an upward direction at least.
