Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach

[Spankus Munky]

Hope JDT gets a nice big fat payoff and takes Venkys for every penny he is owed.

[Bethnal]

Extremely difficult not to read WAY too far into today’s events.

Absolutely fascinating few days coming up.

Either he goes and then chaos or he doesn’t go and it probably never gets addressed, leading to utter confusion.

Anyone got a link to the Nixon story?

I just had a look on his twitter, he was asked a question and just responded by saying "I don't think he will be there much longer.But haven't heard anything about him leaving imminently" something along those lines

It read to me it was just his opinion rather than any insight 

[den]

In other words, he hasn’t got a clue to what’s happening.

I was in my car just earlier (about 6.15) and Nixon was on Radio Lancashire. His usual pontificating was evident but my ears pricked up when he said a delegation (that might not be the exact word he used) from Rovers will be visiting India soon to meet the owners. He wasn't as ebullient in his tone when he said it so it might have been him giving it the big ITK but he definitely said it.

Yes horrifically badly managed.

Has to be Waggott's decision and is plain wrong. 

No, sorry but having mulled this over I am struggling to find a scenario in which JDT is not leaving. 

This scenario.

I don't know. He lead training as usual. Club have decided against holding a pre match press conference. 

Aren't a lot of the pre match press stuff usually done on the Thursday? Might explain it.

Another ITK saying the same:

 

[Upside Down]

The LET are nothing other than the club stenographers. They have plainly said that he has been blocked from talking to the press.

There was press done with new signings but not the manager.

Make of that what you will.

Can someone vouch for this guy or is it just more trash? 

[cesus]

I cannot think of any manager missing a pre game press conference without being ill. I'm pretty sure it's a football stipulation they have to do it. I've known them to be too pissed off to do a post game presser but a pre game, I can't see that happening too often.

His bio simply says he’s a fan.

I agree. I think Broughton will work with whatever means he's given, and find excitement and personal development even if finances aren't looking good. He's got nothing to lose really, and it's his first DoF job so he won't be in a rush to quit. He'll take a better job if offered of course.

 

JDT is ambitious and speaks his mind. Waggot wants to run a tight ship and keep it 'civil', and needs a yes man. 

Crazy because things looked really good before the cock-up of January 2023.

[roversfan99]

Even post window, wannabe ITKs seem to be desperate for the limelight.

He might well be off and I dont think its an outlandish guess to speculate that a clearly unhappy manager might go. But I think many of these people are just making assumptions and/or echoing one another.

[Torgeir]

I see quite a few fans are negative towards JDT. I wonder who their suggestions are for his replacement.

Agreed. Jackson didn't have the inside scoop on anything in the last couple of days. He's pretty poor I'd say.

Makes Sharpe look a lot better by comparison.

Yep. Covering every possible base as always.

There is a lot of smoke this evening, and some of the accounts on ‘X’ do not appear to be those of silly little boys seeking attention.

Add that to the pre-match media conference being binned.

There is clearly a distinct possibility that tomorrow will be JDT’s final game.

[islander200]

I don't understand why he would take the game and then leave 

Surely you just leave 

If he is gone hopefully be sensible and get Gary rowett in at least till end of the season no gambles on foreign managers from abroad or managers considered because they had a promotion  60 years ago but hoping it's just nonsense and JDT will remain 

[RoverDom]

Was there talk of a delegation going to India? USE FUCKING ZOOM!

John Eustace for me.

[Hasta]

It’ll be Fat Frank.

He will be desperate enough to take anything and work under any conditions after Everton.

The likes of Rowett wouldn’t risk this poisoned chalice.

If the itks are new whose the best worst case we end up with? 

 

Jose Mourinho (beers strong tonight)

Alex Neil

Rowatt?

Jesse march

Hassenhutle

Uwe fisher (dream)

He probably wouldn't be desperate enough to come here and wait for better job

Rowett I think could be tempted

Isn't Rowett a bit dodgy? Or am I mistaking him
