Everyone’s playing a game and we usually lose those.

At this point, I'm just sticking my head in the sand until I hear an official announcement. This is turning into the X-Factor.

Only 60 days until the start of the new season. Will we have a manager in place by then?

I think we’ll have a new manager and sacked him by then

Jack Wilshere the front runner for the Plymouth job

Well, according to the other place we've been pursuing Jones throughout but Charlton's severance valuation increased upon promotion to around £4.5m incl. back up staff. Tan wanted to pay over 5 years but Charlton insisted all up front.

The mind boggles at what the club's back-up plan is, if this is true.

If true, that is crazy money for us to be paying.

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

I know the club gets criticised for shopping in the yellow sticker section of the market, but I'm not sure why, now we're a lower league club, we need to go out on a limb for someone of this stature (especially as he's likely to be sacked in a year). There are other options if we're looking for a short term fix. Also, if we're going to pay 4.5M (ish) can't we look for something better and long-term? Answer: probably not.

I honestly don't understand why anyone would believe that ITK posts on a message board (whichever one) have anything to do with truth. There was a time long, long ago when the club had a Deep Throat and an association with ice-cream lickers, but that is no longer the case.

From what I can see most of these posts (and the fee or salary figures that are also sprayed around) come from pure sad-kid-in-a-bedroom wind ups on the net, from people like Abbandonato or Witcoop who need to appear relevant and connected (even when the quality of their so-called information is often shit) and from home grown posters who need attention and think they are bound to get it right one day!

Yep overwhelming majority of it is clearly bollocks, a small percentage are agents pushing their own agendas, an equally small amount then may actually have some level of truth.

It's quite easy to look like you know something, just hedge your bets across four or five different managers and then sing from the rooftops when one of them comes in.
