    Blackburn went for Coyle once Slade turned them down ......

    New game. Put some complete nonsense on Twitter about a rumour on who may or may not be the head coach and see how long it's put on this thread.

    That Blur song from the Modern Life is Rubbish album is uncanny.

    The comms team are alive at least ;)

    We can always rely on Olly & co.

    One of the very few things to commend at our club these days.

    It's a bit like picking teams for playground football. And it looks like Charlton will be left with the fat slow guy that nobody else wants.

    So it looks like Evans!

    The same Kenwyne Jones who was on 40k a week at Cardiff and was shipped off on loan because they couldn't afford to pay him?

    He'll be lucky to get an offer of 40p a week from Meire.

    Arel="LargeAddick">regarding Slade, one place reports it and everyone else regurgitates it as fact when they are no quotes from anyone (Colin1961 excepted), I mean it was reported that he's on his holibobs whilst at the same time he was being interviewed at Blackburn. I don't believe it will be him although I don't have a scoobies who it will eventually be.

    i did!!!

    heard that Slade has had an offer from us, but he also in talks with Blackburn.

    Was also told he wanted the Blackburn job. I think he will probably take our offer as hes lost out on Blacburn.

    Dear Lord!
    If anything Giggs would be a bigger gamble than Jackson and a whole lot more expensive no doubt.
    He's never played outside of the EPL and probably barely watched anything lower.

    Whoever it is, it's going to be fudge.
    They are going to have to be seen to be supportive of the regime.
    It's not like Jackson can somehow whisper to the fans "hey, guys I know it's shit but support us anyway".
    The same with Slade, Evans, Adkins et al, they can't say, "I don't like the way the club is run but I think I can succeed anyway"
    It will have to be a fudge.
    "I think the owner is misunderstood"/"I think the owner recognises some mistakes, but.."/"The owner wants success as much as the fans.." etc etc etc
    To win the fans over the new coach is going to have to make an immediate impact imo, in spite of the constrictions and limitations of the regime.
    Sooner or later though, those limitations are going to stymie him and he's going to have to take a stance - compromise his principles and yet probably still pay for any failure with his job anyway, or hit them with the truth and definitely lose his job.
    Fudge, fudge, fudge.
    I would like to think I will wish whoever it is well, but there is a virus here that won't be cured by a new sticking plaster.
    I'll more likely feel like biffing him on the nose and saying why are you here?

    Is he involved with them? Thought that was just the Nevilles and Scholes.
    Fair do's, I stand corrected.

    Heard it on good authority that Karel Fraeye is on his way back - has also agreed to supply a new sofa.

    Fair enough,Large, he has that - although you could argue that that level is as different from League One as that is from the EPL.
    No matter, he would be a gamble either way and at least Jackson has the advantage of having played in the League One.
    Would Duchatelet be prepared to pay him the going rate?
    There may be other clubs higher up the food chain that would also take a gamble on Giggs.

    Glad we were never linked with Coyle, did a good job at Burnley but he seems such a depressing individual.

    This I know but can't tell you stuff is so frustrating! Not a dig at Doucher or anyone in particular.

    I'm sat by the swimming pool in Turkey, constantly refreshing this page for an announcement when I should be spending quality time with the Mrs.

    I'm hoping no appointment is made for the next fortnight! !

    I agree but doucher is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't! If he names his source then he won't get any more info. If he names the guy and us wrong, he becomes a Colin! To know that an appointment is supposedly imminent is news and is good to hear......until a Belgium 4th division manager is appointed as work experience manager

    Totally agree with that. It's also good to know we will be put out of our misery from waiting to know who will be appointed soon. I understand the concept of the ITK posts it's just frustrating :smile:
