hired them to find him a new club next season!!!!!!!!

Almost certainly.

His last agents couldn't find him a job for 6 months after winning back-to-back Swedish titles and he ended up at this basketcase club. 

He'll be putting the feelers out for sure.

To be fair, he did say all allong, that he would not be looking for a new job for the next six months, when he quit Malmø. Due to the Covid19 restrictions he had hardly seen his family for the 2 years he spent in Malmø, and he wanted to spend time with them. He also said, he did not want join a new club in the middle of a season.

I am also postive, that he is now looking for another club, hence the change of agency, which is being done very publically, making sure its on every social media platform. It also explains why all of his pre- and post match interviews since the transfer window closed have sounded like a job application or as if he was doing a jobinterview - praising his achievements with the team and making it all sound a lot more positive than it actually is.

So, basically the long term plan/project he keeps spouting off about is something he personally doesn't want to be part of.

I don't fault him for not believing in bullshit, even when he's the one fronting it.

I'd almost be disappointed in JDT if he wasn't looking for a new job. I know people seem to treat Lambert's conduct as unforgivable in having a release clause and throwing in the towel so quickly but I'd expect no less from any remotely ambitious self-respecting manager.

That's the reason we ended up with Kean, Bowyer and Mowbray for a grand total of 10 years between them. People who wouldn't have got a look in elsewhere, all of whom overstayed their sell by date, all of whom knew that they weren't going to get better offers any time soon. 

This is the Club where ambition goes to die, overseen by wasters like Waggott here to meet their own targets, keep things 'ticking over' whilst the club decays. That's why players with ambition have moved on and why Tomasson will too.

Bowyer... The last time we had a decent squad and two good centre forwards.

Imagine if we'd had a good manager in charge back then 😩

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Its been some 'Long term ambition' twelve years since we dropped out the top flight...we even showed the ambition of dropping to Div 1.Yet our neighbours are set for promotion at the first attempt.

If you believe the hyperbole then more fool you.I dont like being taken for a mug as most on here wont....the frustration with this Club is unbearable at times.

For all the talk of projects and transfer windows out of the starting team on Saturday all but two were here when Tomasson and Broughton came in the Summer. The two starters are both on loan. In the previous match only three of the match day squad were signed this season.

To be fair Hyam would've played if not injured and so too would Brittain.

And O'Brien too if, well, y'know.

[roverandout]

This club flatlined years ago.  People are just picking at the corpse now.

[chaddyrovers]

I don't understand where all this talk of him going at the end of the season has come from but I reckon he will still be here next season and beyond. He still believes in the project and the long term plan here 

[roversfan99]

He most likely will do what most do and see a long contract and no sense of accountability from his superiors and carry on regardless.

If given an opportunity then i think he would leave - big question is does he see his future in the top leagues in Europe then as of today he wouldn’t get a bigger club.
Needs to get us back into the playoffs to be offered even a sideways move in Eng/Spain/Italy/France/Germany imo

he gets unfair stick does bowyer,i thought he did a very good job,he was just a little to cautious imo,we should have made the play offs the season before the indians forced him to sell rhodes,gestede and cairney,losing that much ability from your team would have ***** up most managers,he was on a loser after that

Best squad we've had since going down that, two good goalscorers, and we didn't even threaten the play off spots.

I doubt JDT will get as much sympathy.

[broadsword]

Well look where Bowyers been since. Blackpool when they were a division of two lower, Salford and is it Dundee now?

 

He was way out of his depth, bit he gave it, deep breath, altogether everyone, 3 2 1

 

A REET GOOD GO

[davulsukur]

Imagine the uproar if we'd appointed Michael Carrick (from me included) but what a job he's doing at Boro.

Have any of you heard rumours about JDT being linked with Leeds?

This Danish newspaper has an article about JDT joining SEG Football, and it says, that according to British media, JDT is being linked with the vacant managerjob i Leeds?

Not seen a link with Leeds myself but they are in a huge mess by being turned down by 6 different head coaches and today being linked with Pedro Martins.

I can’t see that myself. 

[tomphil]

Stranger things have happened.

[JHRover]

Can't see it with Leeds but what I can see are the predicted rumblings of a want away manager.

Disastrous transfer window with zero backing to a manager who has had us in the mix all season.

Followed by press conferences where he is clearly fuming with the situation and then keen to remind everyone of how well we've done so far this season and then haven't been backed, whereas rivals have strengthened.

Manager then suddenly changes agents within a couple of weeks of the window closing.

Followed by 'rumours' in the press for the first time of a move elsewhere.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out what is going on here. He's been let down and will be planning a move elsewhere. Whether he gets a better offer, or whether he is prepared to stick it out and collect his salary or throw in the towel and go unemployed for a while is the question.

Expect to see more of this sort of stuff over the next couple of months.
