[Archived] Nicko's Thread Part 3

[Mozzer]

henk ten cate- this would be an amazing appointment.

hes much better then the candidates been mentioned-he wants it, i dont see any problem.

[nicko]

David Craig pushing his mate Steve McClaren on SSN...save your breath, pal.

[nicko]

Will have to agree to disagree on Smith.

Obviously we have different views on what makes a good manager - e.g. Coppell

Yes, but you're p***ed...

[yoda]

I too am inspired. How does it go...?

"She was only the undertakers daughter,

And she liked lying under the sod,

But anyone cadaver

And she knew how to treat a stiff..."

Coleridge or Keats?

she was only the welders daughter but she had Acetelyne tits

back to the uncouthed northen hords and garb

Apologies on my behalf, Nicko. I thought you told us to refrain from betting purely because he wasn't a dead cert. Seeing as Ten Cate had already been mentioned and that you backed this up, I didn't see any harm in placing a bet.

If he's as low as 12/1 in some places, then I really am pleased with the 33/1 odds I was given.

Kenyon thinks he has got someone...but we heard that before from the little fella.

I have a feeling it could be an outsider? Some seem a bit TOO obvious...

Ten Cate would be interesting, I share some other peoples concerns regarding his lack of back room staff, perhaps they'll be looking at a model where if the manager does go the whole team doesn't sod off with him!?

Great avatar for Nicko

[nicko]

All I was saying is DON'T take it as a cert for the job - just a live runner.

[EwoodGlory]

Betfair is just plain crazy, there was a thing on the forum saying SSN had mentioned Ten Cate, that true?

Looked at the odds and someone was try to put on £100 at 2.5

I took £15 of that thanks very much.

We seriously need this thread locked down to members only. The 'Nicko Effect' is causing Sky to jump on everything in here.

Dropped as low as 2.5 on betfair...vcbet will only offer 5/1.

IF he was to come i mean ten cate who would be his assistants

[Presty On Tour]

henk ten cate odds are closing in fast, by the end of the day he could be favorite!

[nicko]

Somebody looking here goes on the Betfair forum. That is official.

I am a very placid pussy-cat most of the time, but don't pull the old tiger's tail because he can get vicious...

[Eddie]

...more like the hour.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Did they just regurgitate what you said or something?

[Mozzer]

sky sports will have it up and running by the end of the day about henk ten cate interested in blackburn job..

nicko-anyone with a cv like that, over names been linked surely should get the job??

as a manager-has he done well??

[Torgeir]

Check the date, work out the rest and you get today's major prize...

Shouldn't the article say Michael Laudrup and not Brian, or is he a manager as well?

[Iceman]

im very impressed with Ten Cate..if he gets the job,then id be over the moon..if not him then either Houllier or Deschamps would be my other choices

[joey_big_nose]

I'm a little worried about all this betting talk on here.

Whoever influences opinion on here is going to have the opportunity to make a large amount of money. It is not really the purpose of the board is it?

[RibbleValleyRover]

Any way this can be combatted? Making this forum readable to members only?

I agree there seems to have been a serious change in this thread from rumours to betting odds etc. Don't like it either.

If you are going for experience he would be a great choice, but I also like Shearer for other reasons - I think he is a leader and would get the club buzzing.

So either of them would do for me.

Ten Cate has managed an awful lot of clubs around the world and was the brains and strength at Barca and Chelsea...clubs don't come much bigger.

It's not like Kidd who worked under Ferguson or McClaren. They were both number twos who were under a top manager.

Ten Cate had to teach Rijkaard the ropes - he was a flop at Sparta before he went to Barca remember - and Grant was just a figurehead.

This guy is the dog's in my opinion.

I'll have to blame the subs for that one...

[vyeo]

that is the best piece of news all week! i'm truly excited now... fingers-crossed!

great one nicko!
