New manager speculation / rumours thread

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

Paul Abbandonato reckons we'll be happy with our number 1 target. (Has he met some of us?). That kind of thing can be patronising, like when we were told we'd love Gareth Stoker. Oh my, it's gonna be Gareth Stoker.

Abbandonota has little idea who our number 1 target is.

If he did he'd name him.

He wouldn't to be fair. He just likes to cover all bases.

Eg the new manager will be one of the main 2or 3 names linked but it could also be an outsider who hasn't been linked much. That's an example of a recent tweet. All bases covered there paul!

Mood music is pointing towards Ramsey.

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

It's very easy to find reasons against managerial candidates if you look hard enough but the club has to find someone and surely Nathan Jones must be as good as we are likely to get even though it's difficult to imagine him agreeing to come.

They've gone and cocked it up again, haven't they. Offered job, turned down, gone back to Tan, runner up offered job but gets the hump and says "you'll have to wait [while I explore all my options]".

Malky McKay was the front runner early on and looked a nailed on certainty. The club then went all out for Alan Shearer and he went to well.odds on and looked a certainty for the job. He then decided he wouldn't come. Malky happily took the job on.

We should be going all out for out number 1 choice. Im not totally convinced Jones has been spoken to mind and this isn't another itk rumour. I mean Des Buckingham was confirmed as manager on the other site a couple of days ago and someones mate had seen a text from Evatt confirming he had the job.

All a complete load of bollox.

What I would say is the fact there seems to be a delay I think probably is they are trying to get an in contract manager or a much better candidate than the likes of Buckingham and Evatt.

If we are now looking at in contract managers a small flutter on Richie Wellens may be worth a punt.

Id still say Buckingham is the most likely appointment mind.

That contradicts what we've been told though. 3 applicants interviewed, all presumably keen on the job, sent to Tan 3 weeks' ago. It would only take a couple of days at most to sort out contractual issues at both ends. No, I think they've f****d it up again !!

Has the club actually confirmed they've interviewed the 3 names or have the candidates. Ramsey they've confirmed they've spoken to but as he was interim that was understandable. Has he actually said he wants the job and had a proper interview.

If the other 2 are Evatt and Buckingham. Maybe they didn't impress.

I do think its a fair chance they've fecked again though.🤣🤣🤣

If this delay is because we've had to wait for say Jones , Wellens or Challinor or trying to get someone like O Neill then fair enough.

Hopefully we find out in the coming week.

Its far more likely Tan doesn't fancy any of them, or they're waiting for RVN to get sacked at Leicester so they can get BBM without compensation.

The delay must be because the message board is running slowly.
