Which utterly brilliant manager will we be delighted to welcome next?

[dallydally]

We are being set up for one big disappointment mark my words. Carvahal was never a serious target for these jesters; we simply couldn't afford him/meet his demands. Enter stage left some plonker!

Frustrating when we want the best now but the wait continues.

Nixon tweeting that Farke has been interviewed

[dallydally]

That's good news but more disappointment when the inevitable news breaks that we haven't signed him

[roversfan99]

It is surely evident now that nobody either in a journalistic capacity or indeed on here knows what is going on.

Ferguson at 4/11. If he is our manager then 4/11 on the we are a league 1 team in 12 months. Vs never learn. We really should only expect the worst from them and their employees.

Not sure we can’t afford him, can’t see him being on mega money at 2 middling Portuguese teams. His demands could be sticking point (ie staff) though it shouldn’t be

Oh good, an odds post 🤪

We don't know what the people in the know know but we do know they don't know what they think they know

Thought you were getting on a plane and your phone was going off 😂😂. Seriously though keep updating what you know when you can 👍

Silly season. A new name every 5 minutes.

It’s like a game of snakes and ladders. Farke interview report : up a ladder, Unsworth news : straight back down.

A Director wants to be a coach !! Why are Waggot & Etc even entertaining these kinds of people …..

You can distinguish between them though. One involves still wanting (albeit at a much lower priority) to win the game using players that were signed because they thought they could do well for the club. The other scenario is deliberately losing to undermine the fairness of the competition. 

 

Teams get relegated all the time because their competitors are playing teams that are already on the beach. 

Every club has the concept of their "strongest team", that day they didn't play theirs, not even near it. It was so bad they lost to 10 men, so yes I maintain that there were several possible reasons for them making that choice.

One "could" have been for corrupt betting. It wasn't of course but it can't be argued that not fielding your strongest team is OK under "all right" circumstances.

What he did was NOT OK for any reason IMO.  I maintain that what Wagner did was the coup de grace that got us relegated. Yes it was our fault we were in the relegation zone but we were set to escape until he cheated us out of it.

Again IMO.

That's a second to last square job that one. Then land on the snakes head and back to the very start.

Not sure how much to read into the UAE links.

Their pro league isn't exactly littered with respectable managers. For the most part it just seems to be nobodies or ex players like Rebrov managing the teams.

Obviously money talks but I'd like to think Carvalhal had a bit more about him than to just go there for the cash.

A passage of play within a game is not quite same same cause and effect.

I do however recall that I wasn't proud of it and would have been pissed off if another team got away with that against us.

There is enough lying, cheating and being just a fecking twat in football without deliberately adding to the dung heap.

Play hard, play fair.

To this day I believe that, imo, there was collusion between the club's and if the Spurs Spiv was involved that means money, again imo.

agree. it stinks of agent stirring, especially the mentions of the supposed wage he has on offer there. he left braga for a reason, and it wasn't to go to the bloody uae! he's a football guy arguably at the peak of his career so far. he's not going there. not for a little while anyway. why would he? he'd push himself right down the list of any future job at this level. look at michael laudrup. built his stock right up at swansea, went to qatar and was never seen nor heard of again. it's an agent trying to carry out contract negotiations in public. ignore!!!
