There was a time back in the 80's when the mirror was the paper that seemed to have the inside info on the Albion. Don't think it applies anymore though.
NOTW seem to get football stories right a bit more than the Mirror so I'm inclined to believe that story more & Mirror are only saying he is having an interview which is piss poor reporting if you ask me cos I thought everyone knew he was interviewing / up for the job at least, whereas NOTW are making a statement about the appointment.
I do so want Poyet with Taylor as coach though so the Adkins story disappoints.
"In line" (ie he has an interview) whereas the news of the world state Adkins WILL be offered the job. Only time will tell which paper (if any) has it right.
