[Archived] Next Manager Part 2

[chaddyrovers]

Restaurant now booked even though we've taken pity on our pal and extended his deadline until 7.00 pm tomorrow !

Strange one this as he still doesn't think he will lose !

what does he know that you dont tho???

[Mercer]

what does he know that you dont tho???

That's a feckin good question !

[Andy]

agree with this post totally.

We wont get Sherwood cos of Levy unwillingness to let him leave.

Shaw and Shebby split on Holloway.

so it looks like we are on plan c, so I guess its either Karl Robinson or Simon Grayson. just a guess that these are names for plan C

But we weren't getting Rhodes due to (whatever the HTFC chairman is called)'s unwillingness to let him leave either...

Think his number 2 is Runya Boloksov.

Can't be that tough if we persuaded his club to part with £17 million for David Bentley

[booth]

I don't believe I suggested hiring someone like that?

I don't believe I suggested you did. I was talking about the present situation.

that was the good ol days of john williams, how we miss him

[Kelbo]

One pertinent question here if anyone knows the answer, I am told by my legal friends, that as Kean resigned, he would have to prove constructive dismissal, likewise, the owners could counterclaim that certain untruths only came to light towards the end of his tenure, ie Glen Mullens letter outlining the statements Kean made over his tenure etc.

Now, heres the question, if there is a doubt about any compensation payments (if any) to Kean, at what point would Kean be able to find alternative employment?

This I feel would make a diference as to the money available for a new manager!

[dwayne cage]

Plus he's the biggest pr1ck in football too

yeah but Bentley wanted to move to Spurs, plus he had a release clause in his contract of 17 mil and Rovers/John Williams stuck to that amount of money.

[TugaysMarlboro]

Think his number 2 is Runya Boloksov.

Thought he was the new fitness coach? Heard his assistant is called Nasti Chestikof

[Jordan]

Even better, he's 33/1 at Betvictor.

Cheers for this. Can't see it being anyone else so just put a load on black being next manager

[den]

In this amount of time, Venky's had virtually worked out Allardyce, sacked him, found his replacement and given him a new contract. Wonder how they were so quick then and so slow now?

Where's JA?

[yoda's brother]

Wake me up when something happens!

ok rip van winkle :D

[my_name_is_Earl]

As well as wondering which man may come in, I think one of the bigger questions is what role does Shebby Singh play when he manages (if ever!) to bring a new man in?

I wonder if he'll become the Director of Football or if a Global Advisor role is still needed. According to Glen, there will be a full restructuring of the club behind closed doors which I believe could be more important to any success than choice of manager.

[Speedie Dived]

Has it been confirmed if we did make an approach for Sherwood yesterday?

If it turns out to be true that would indicate Sherwood wants to come, wages agreed and he is happy with the budget/owners and he is the only runner in the race, if true obviously.

When did this happen ? i thought levy blocking any approach

That's exactly what i just asked, did we make an approach or not?

[RevidgeBlue]

I'm not shooting down his information, as he doesn't have any. Just wondering how can he shoot down my information with an opinion when all the evidence would reinforce the information I do have. If it didn't I would say fair enough, you have come back at me with an articulated opinion.

So, i'm supposed to say 'yes, your opinion makes sense even though i'm hearing reliable info against it and all the evidence points to that being correct'? Why don't we all just believe everybody's opinions, eh?

And yes, I am parading this information around because I believe it's important. I'm desperately hoping we don't get a repeat of the last fiasco. Why wouldn't I?

Deary me.....

No I don't have any inside "source" I am merely looking at what's actually happened so far and using reasoning and logic to explain why that blows gaping holes in your claims.

If I understand you correctly, according to you Singh wants a yes man or puppet. That does not tie up with his preferred choice being Sherwood. Then there are claims Singh has failed to arrange a meeting with the owners for Sherwood. That also sounds unlikely given we are generally led to believe Sherwood is Singhs overwhelming number one choice. But if Singh had changed his mind over official approach to Sherwood, why would we subseqentry make an official approach to Spurs?

Moving on to Holloway, you claim Singh has wrecked the chances of us landing him. Why then does just about every other source claim we are still mulling over an official approach?

Nothing you say bears any scrutiny and simply reinforces the impression created by your previous postings that you have a particular dislike for Singh for whatever reason.

As for your "evidence" you claimed last night within the space of a few posts your "source" was someone on Twitter/a player at Blackpool/someone at the Club. (By which I take it you meant Rovers.)

So forgive me for examining the facts and drawing my own conclusions. If I open the curtains and its daylight then does I turn on the computer and someone on the internet says someone told them it was nighttime, that still makes it daytime in my book.

That's probably because that someone on the internet happens to live on the other side of the world, and hence is 8 hours ahead of you.

As a matter of fact, there are several people who are keeping me in the loop including at the club and an agent who works on behalf of both Rovers and Blackpool players. There is nobody on Twitter keeping me in the loop, I simply pointed to the fact that somebody had reinforced my point on Twitter.

Holloway is being sabotaged by Singh and there is no 'mulling it over' as far as he is concerned. This is a FACT. Sure, Derek Shaw wants Holloway as do others at the club but it is a no go. Shebby will simply not allow it.

In Sherwoods case, there is no compo that cannot be negotiated hence the approach as Shebby assumed Sherwood would take it, Shebby knows the fee. However, Sherwood wants to talk to the owners for assurances before he gives the nod which Shebby has so far denied him. I believe that is still ongoing between the pair, it's a game of bluffs. This reinforces the suggestion that Shebby is after maintaining authority and having control over the next man i.e. he wants to be in control.

If we don't get Sherwood, we won't get Holloway, we'll probably end up with Robinson who both Shebby and Shaw can agree is a decent back-up appointment. Whether people see that as a decent appointment is their own opinion but for me it screams 'puppet!'.

I'm not saying you have to believe any of this and heck, if you haven't been told this information, why would you? Aside from the fact that the club is being run in a circus-like fashion, of course.

Very good! Hee hee!
