[Archived] Nicko's Thread Part 3

[Saf]

Why hasn't Henk come out and say its not true? Or has he had his head buried in the sand for the past few weeks?

people go on holiday to for a reason to get a breather from the press,

[broadsword]

can someone please put a tracking device on Henk to see where he is and what he's up to? Ta.

[nicko]

I'm just wondering Nicko, if the Rovers are being this effective in hiding away from the press, do they have any other surprise candidates other than Allardyce, McClaren, Ince and Ten Cate? Guess that might have to be more a suspicion than a fact.

Hope JW is still happy with his pool of candidates .....

Don't forget Martinez.

There is always the chance that when they sit down and decide they will say '*** it, let's start again.'

This really is a strange one.

Which is why I said don't put a coin on it.

Still if someone says that you've accepted a job and you haven't then surely the agent would at least release a press statement?!

Wae Martinez a genuine runner? If so they really must have been swallowing a lot of brave pills. Potentially a top manager, but only potentially. It seemed to me that Martinez was sensibly making good PR in Swansea by making the statement he did.

In the case of football smoke usually means no fire but a lot of agents puffing on cigars.

Is it really likely that JW would back off given his previous stance on making an announcement this week?

Here it is...just found it on scotty.com.

Sigi Lens, agent working on Henk Ten Cate, said last night: "Monster, monster. Henk's going to Greece and I'm getting £300,000, so tell that Blackburn Rovers mob to do one."

In all seriousness, do you think anyone is going to admit that they are keeping prospective employers hanging on while they [a] sort out a hashed pay-off with Chelsea and flutter their eyes at someone else?

Not if he's hedging his bets?

[Mozzer]

so henk ten cate still wants the blackburn job??

will he not listen to this agent who wants him to go greece??

[broadsword]

Is Eric Hall still an agent?

I absolutely bloody hated that guy.

Didn't he once have a column in the People?

Martinez's name only hit the press from here where it was first mentioned. He didn't call me, I don't know his agent. Then it hit the papers and, of course, someone put him on Betfair.

As boss of Swansea he has got to do the old 'I'm happy here' routine...but do you believe that he would not speak to Rovers about the job?

[promoted2001]

I did a search and found your item in the people and I guess its believable but I still have this feeling his gonna take the cash. Chelsea have enough of it thats for sure!

Eric Hall? Evil personified - poor impression of Billy Bunter. Would make excellent roadkill.

Never forgave him after Sherwood left.

Well thanks for that...it's a compliment in some parts round here.

They'll let anyone have a column in the People won't they

Not bad.

I am sure he would have chased the job if he thought he would get it but I just think that the statement underlined the rumour element rather than a genuine belief he would have a chance.

He didn't chase it...it chased him.

Don't discount this guy.

[LDRover]

Have a feeling John Williams popularity with the majority of Rovers fans is going to take a severe nosedive with this appointment.

[Roversider]

He didn't chase it...it chased him.

Don't discount this guy.

I'm genuinely impressed if JW had him on the list, it shows that Rovers are willing to think a little wider, ho hum.

Me thinks you're protesting too much.

There's no interview between Rovers and Ten Cate is there Nicko? Despite you saying it was definitely going to happen on Wednesday. So why did/are you still pushing his name so hard?

[promoted2001]

Well wasn't bad for the people, most of its full of carp

[USRoverME]

Are you sure Henk Ten Cate is in Barbados? Perhaps he was in California WATCHING Barbados, play the USA, and of course scouting known Blackburn target Michael Bradley (who had one of the 8 goals)

It's still Monday on my planet.

And, of course, Ince hasn't met Rovers and neither has Sam or Shearer.

In fact, nothing's happening. It's all a big lie.

[BlueMonday]

SSN reporting that Pete Winkleman is expecting to be contacted by Rovers at some point for permission to talk to Ince.

They say he is favourate for the job.

Nothing new there though.

ah the good old nicko, scotty showdown
