Either way, ludicrous money. It’s multiples of what we pay our players and, call me old fashioned, I think the blokes that kick the ball are more important. What was JJ on?
Quite how we are going to sign a manager with any real quality when our current head of scouting and recruitment was a travelling medical salesman less than two years ago is anyone's guess?

I don't think it's entirely out of the question. We did finish mid table this season but everyone will be aware that that's not our natural position.
If he wants a club where he gets a full summer, I'm not aware of any Championship clubs that have a vacancy other than the one he just left...
We are the next London club in the pecking order after QPR from the league tables if he wants to remain in London. Not really a lot out there for current managers. Doubt he would get the Watford job. Only other local ish ones in championship is maybe Reading and Bristol which might come up next season.
Was informed that Beale will be a non starter as he was not happy that Thomas said he had contacted him in an interview when Adkins left. I can't recall this can anyone verify please? Hoping this is not the case and Beale is a possibility. Thomas has verified to me that he tried to contact Beale last time.

And then appointed…Jackson! Csnt believe a word he says really.
The pressure on TS to appoint Jackson after those initial results was enormous. I’m not blaming Sandgaard for talking to someone and then being effectively forced into appointing someone else.

He’s just so clumsy with his statements that while they’re supposed to be the official line they just seem more like gossip

That's bollocks. He appointed Jackson after he managed a stunning turnaround in results and knowing the appointment would be well received by fans. If he had not appointed Jackson and we had still come in around mid table it would have all been about how inflexible he was, ignoring fans etc.

And at the time if he didn’t appoint JJ this place would be full of posts condemning his decision making … it has been referred to on here that a bigger name was lined up whose now managing in the championship. Yep he’s by no means perfect , but does not merit a lot of the mindless mud slinging
I think we need to always remember the hours we were away from extinction. Then 'enter sandman' and we not only remained in existence but brought quality in many. areas of the club. Developing players, improving the excellent youth set up and infrastructure of the club. It's on a sound footing. Sandman didn't come in with a sledgehammer firing everyone. He gave current incumbent Lee Bowyer the benefit of the doubt (good decision). Didn't stand in his way (good decision) when he went to Brum. Hired what seemed a safe and experienced and proven pair of hands in Smiley Nige (good decision after the limited tactics of Bowyer). Acted to stop the decline and fired him (another good decision). Gave the untried JJ his first taste of management and didn't hurry to give him a contract but gave him a prolonged period of caretaker boss (another good decision) His first glaringly poor decision I feel was bowing to the unrelenting clamour from 'experts' aka fans! and gave him the job permanently. First whiff of pressure and the whole thing nose-dived. And saying JJ was part of his plans for next season only weeks ago (wrong decision) He owns the club. And while he can't simply do as he wants a la Roland Shathouse of yesteryear. He CAN hire and fire who he deems is right or not right for the progress of the club. And overall, silly comments aside, I think he has done a lot right. And firing JJ was also the right decision. He was righting the wrong decision of hiring him on a permanent in the first place.
I am confident that he will hire THE RIGHT guy for this time. He has seen enough to know that tired old managers well past their best are no good. And untried glorified team coaches are not suitable either. And if he IS the RIGHT guy, he will get this club up in a year. I'd lose the whole frontline and bring in quality. So many games last season were lost not simply by JJ ineptitude but misfiring strikers. Missington particularly. But Stuckley too.
Would really like to see Warburton. Definitely. would NOT want Hasselblad, Hughton, Evans or Ferguson take the reigns.

The problem is if he did interview them all, they all probably all talk a good game, otherwise they wouldn’t have got jobs, how does he differentiate between them all, apart from them telling him what he wants to hear?

Sounds ideal ? We have a bad side and the spine is out of shape.

Ermmmm, they aren’t the worst by any means but to describe them as second to none is way off the mark.
Csnt believe a word he says really.

“ it has been referred to on here that a bigger name was lined up whose now managing in the championship”
Not saying any of them are realistic options this summer. With the exception of Ince, probably.

Not based on anything but I reckon Matt Taylor would have put his name forward!
QPR play a 3-5-2. Warburton out.
What’s Mike Bassett up to?
