Oh dear

[Guest TheArtistFormallyKnownAsJB]

Assistant manager?

[patrickvalery]

Oh dear

It can't be true. Not even this circus could entertain this.

Twitter...... must be true. Thought we only try and sign players to make money on in the future?

If anything I'd imagine Weir maybe being considered as the new no.2. He still lives in Cheshire and has expressed aspirations regarding starting his coaching career.

No surprise at JAL'S Pavlovian response

[ReganBRFC]

Haha oh dear, joke on my part taken out of hand! People believe this but not about Barry Hayles! Shocking

[LeChuck]

Maybe we should ban anything that has Twitter as its source...

Solid signing and plenty of resale value.

[jim mk2]

Perfect Venky's signing - no transfer fee and likely low wages.

Get him on board.

[Drover]

Keans stupid...... But (hopefully) not this stupid

That said who knows who is in charge of transfers.

Mischievous twitter again probably

Let's hope so!

Could be a cost cutting drive - player-assistant-manager!

[BrisRover]

Read somewhere he was going to Cardiff

[Stuart]

Everton - phew!

Talk about scraping the barrel.

[StaffsRover]

If true, which I doubt.....then I have no problem whatsoever of having Weir as a Player/Coach. I believe he is extremely highly thought of by players and is both articulate and intelligent (somewhat lacking in the current boot room). Lets look at the facts.....not a single clean sheet all season.....if Weir's experience and, more importantly, knowledge can help the young guys we are blooding at the back, would it be such a bad thing. I think some people need to see beyond the thought that he would be here as a first choice centre-half because he clearly wouldn't. Does not mean he doesn't have something to offer. That being said I am sure it is just another wild, groundless rumour.

[Guest Rovers4Good]

Do me a favour!!!!!

He's a golden oldie and he should be put on the shelf and left there.

[Waggy76]

I DON'T BELIEVE IT !!!

End Of

[bluebruce]

I don't get why people are still discussing this, a poster has already admitted to making this up. Close the thread mods?

[Stuart]

Because people enjoy getting wound up. Or they need it, more like.

Eh?

If not for discussing transfer speculation, what is the point of ANY of the transfer threads?

Kean "he is like a young Maldini"
