The Mirror reports today: "Owner Mike Ashley's search to find a manager as well as a buyer for his club is turning into a farce.

"Put up for sale by controversial owner Mike Ashley, the Toon subsided meekly to a West Ham side led into action for the first time by Gianfranco Zola.

"And the travelling Toon Army had to endure home fans' chants of: 'There's only one Mike Ashley' from the West Ham fans."
