[Archived] Next Manager

[chaddyrovers]

Nixon says Shaw isnt involved in the Lambert deal.

Hopefully we can seal the deal for Lambert as manager

[chor808]

Oh dear are we going back to 'nobody's blue and white army'. I think that was Barnsley away?

Surely they have this sorted?

[Norbert Rassragr]

Pearson has just jumped to 1/4 for the QPR job. Lambert is about 8/1, and around the same for Lambert to go to Fulham (Pearson and Jimmy Floyd are favourites there).

Like others I hope we focus on one guy, and don't mess them about by chasing an unrealistic candidate on the side. Otherwise we'll end up with a tit like Megson as a booby prize.

[garnersfags]

Firstly, it is still more than possible that we will appoint Lambert or someone of similar quality, and 95% of us will be happy.

What I don't get is why so many of us became so convinced that this time our owners and executives would somehow make a competent footballing decision (which would cost them millions more than the existing management team).

I thought that this was highly unlikely, given that 95% of decisions made over the last 3 years have taken us backwards and seemed almost designed to wipe out 30 years of excellent work.

We must take every rumour, as that's all the speculation is, with a massive pinch of salt.

Again, I accept (and pray) that we may appoint a decent manager by Saturday. It is one of the many possibilities.

Really? That's a bit of a weird position to have. So you would sack someone even if the best person you could replace them with was significantly worse than the person sacked?

That does not strike me as a great strategic plan.

We posters don't get a say on who's appointed, so don't see how we can look dumb.

Some of us though, can work out whether Bowyer could get us to where we need to be.

maybe everything is in place and they haven't announced today because it was too early after GB sacking.........then again....Venkys...

The only deals Shaw should be involved in are ones involving shelving. Let's hope he might be next for the chop.

Did he say he was involved in the Moyes deal ?

[den]

Is Shaw definitely still at the club?

[Ianrally]

Indeed. Shaw is shelved has a certain ring to it.

[McClarky]

If shaw is still there how can he not be involved? Oh no it's all happening again. We'll probably have 2 managers next week, given half a game each.

That's a step up from nearly just one half

[matt83]

If we land Lambert people wanting Bowyer out are going to look very smart. If we land Juden Ali they are going to look very stupid.

Whether getting rid of Bowyer is a good idea or not totally depends on who we get in. As a statement on its own it doesn't really say anything.

Regardless of who comes in bowyer wasn't good enough. So wanting him out was the correct smart decision. At this point no one except the owners can look foolish or cleaver depending who they appoint. If they get another cone man in they add to their foolishness.

[Mercer]

Whoever is our next manager will surely have asked the question as to who on the Exec Management side they will be working with.

I think you will find that there is a new CEO or MD lurking in the shadows overseeing all this.

[Iceman]

Maybe we get Tugay

[Hasta]

Wow. Amazing odds! I could be tempted to give that a shot. How did you set that up?

I've layed lambert at 1.25 on betfairs exchange.

Now got £25 on to win a ton.

[sjsbrfc]

The more this lingers on the more I'm worried we won't get Lambert

[Iceman]

Wait wait wait. Let me get this right. We sack the entire coaching staff, and only announcing a manager over the weekend?

Why would we do that, if we don't have anybody lined up, or spoke to anybody yet? This bunch from India are PuneAtics of the highest order

[Mullionvagrant]

What is very clear was the time was right for a change.

Who????? Any from the names indicated would be a step forward.

Will Shaw still be in place??-again not clear.

However,

What is really refreshing for me is the lack of leaks/way this is being conducted outside of the public/journalistic world. Not seen here since the days of Williams.

Bowyer removed from duties-no indication until it happened. I Presume he was also told before it was made public!!!! (again refreshing).

Hopefully over the next few days an official announcement is made and all is clear-until then i'm happy to be in the dark until all is finalized out of the public eyes.

Finally it doesn't seem like part of a circus show.

You're turning into Gordon, not a good place to be den 😉

Flash?

Straight forward to me Gav. Unmuddled thinking a speciality - try it

If so, I hope they're more John Williams and less Shebby Singh or Paul Agnew. I still expect Shaw to remain though .

That's what Gordon says!

Man, the 1st person who should have been sacked after Agnew and Kean, was Shaw. In fact, Shaw should have been gone the same time as Agnew

That's what Gordon says!

Sound like you are missing Gordon, Gav and now looking for a cheaper replacement
