  • Charlton odds have disappeared from Oddschecker?

    That's because someone had a fiver on Wilmots, inside information :wink:
  • Managerless for almost 3 weeks. That's appalling
  • Trust the regime! Keep the faith!
  • We didn't get dowie till the 30th of may, So still time.

    Blackburn / Bolton / Nottingham Forest are no different though... Blackburn have technically be without a Manager for longer as it was before the last game when Lambert said he was off

    Look how that panned out.

    He's been there before and cocked it up.

    We're we not linked with him before?

  • The longer this drags on the more confident I am we can get a really crap manager.

    What would you do if you were the owner of a business and your key person position was vacant? You would surely employ a professional and knowledgeable agent to source a suitable replacement rather than do it yourself. Something tells me that RD has done nothing of the sort. Still we cling on in pitiful hope that a manager is employed who will give us a decent opportunity to move forward. Starting with putting a purposeful and balanced squad together capable of giving us something to cheer.
  • They are busy trying to see if Nobby Vinegar has any genetic link to Britain so they can appoint him and claim he is at best, partly British.

    I don't know the situations with those clubs, but we have a lot of decisions on players that need to be made. I expect a new team to start next season, and you need time to get that right. You also need to get in early with approaches for the players you want, but how can we know what we want?
  • Duchatelet's choice would still be Nobby (The Indoor One), I would like to know the how much truth was in the rumour that if he was going to be appointed last January, that Meire was going to resign, and what were her reasons for threatening to do so.

    Vinegar goes on chips, fish and chips are a British tradition. There's your link
  • I guess we wont be appointing anyone this week then.
  • Reading this makes me wonder - is it the odds that drive the story, or vice versa.

    If everyone reading this went down the bookies and put a pound on Wilmots, would we see a story about how we were considering him.

    Yes. Try it and see
    I would if I was there, but in the good old USA I'd have to go the Vegas(who probably aren't running a book on this) or open an illegal offshore gambling account.

    RD not finding the manager that's down to Richard Murray .... not even KM involved until the interview process .... Hence Billy Davies link
    Oh do shut up.
    What Colin doesn't understand is that who ever is sourcing a new manager the responsibility still resides with the man/woman at the top. You can delegate a task but not the responsibility for the task (simple GCSE business studies).

    So in the unlikely event Dickie is tasked with the manager hunt Roly and Kat are still responsible for it.

    Hence the readily available network managers? Are you suggesting that of all the 'interesting' applicants, the network managers were the best ones, despite one of them not having a work permit'. And the 'improved' performances after each one's dismissal? You have to give credit to Richard Murray, for clearly identifying these stellar candidates. Do you think he is busy identifying and inviting to interview all those candidates as we wait with baited breath on the next appointment?

    Has Katrien turned up to work today or do you think she is working from home as she doesn't like empty offices?
