bazinga Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Isnt Chris Waddle currently on a plane to Brazil for a month working as a commentator for the World Cup? Yep. I've had to re-schedule a charity match because he's off out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Does anyone know for certain if "the" Chris Waddle is part of the Owlstalk community ? I bet he visits to read but is he registered and does he post ? Clean answers only please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beloved_aunt Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Chill out. After the absolute shower of depressing football under depressing managers we've had over the last five years, if you can't get excited about a dodgy billionaire who's just guided Lens to promotion chucking loads of money at Wednesday and brining in Chris Waddle as manager, then why are you into football?

enriquesdad Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Waddle would be more of a Head Coach than a manager...... I don't get the negative reactions. As i said else where When he "Managed" burnley, i had a mate who was a season ticket holder at the time. He said the style of football was far beyond the players they had and was awsome to watch. they just didn't have enough good players to implement Waddles style. Hes hardly failed anywhere. Waddle has applied for the SWFC managers job every time its come up apparently. Still very famous across europe. Would be a huge draw for players as well. He has told me this personally a few years ago. Applied every time the job came up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldGigsChris Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Anyone follow Waddle on twitter? What's he say about this rumour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slattsowl Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Recently been coaching at the University of Sheffield, I should know because I do that job as well he obviously has the playing experience and knows quite a bit but I wouldn't say he is an amazing coach just well respected by the lads and will get people to listen to him.

Nookiebear Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 So then, it appears these young undercover French reporters have been on the money all along. What does this mean for the Waddle rumour????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmw Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Would be good to have him in director of football, scouting role, or something similar. He speaks French doesn't he, could assist with the Lens connection. Struggles with English, much of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tazz070299 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 So where did this rumour start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Would be good to have him in director of football, scouting role, or something similar. He speaks French doesn't he, could assist with the Lens connection. The new owner doesn't speak French. I watched a Youtube video of him walking into the Lens dressing room and addressing the players in..... ENGLISH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladeshater Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Gray deserves a shot at it if we were to appoint a new manager Steve Clarke or malky makay would be better options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acquiescefc Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Was emailing one of those journo's in france that know mammadov. He says mammadov likes the 'celebrity' manager hence the reason waddle's name was bandied about. He doesnt know how this rumour started but may have just been because of his links to france/wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oz_owl Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Interesting article about Waddle's time as manager at Burnley: http://thetwounfortunates.com/paying-the-pelanty-waddles-nightmare-year-at-burnley/ Waddle would, at the very least, be a huge gamble as a first appointment after just spending 50m to buy the club. Surely you'd either want to keep the current management team in place or bring someone in with experience. Edited June 10, 2014 by oz_owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viva hate Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Wouldn't want him as manager but we'd be stupid not to have the greatest ever player we've ever had not coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
