Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Are we sure it's an agent from Wednesday that have approached a foreign coach ? You know how reporters think all teams in Sheffield are a like... Maybe it's the Pigs lookin' for Cloughs replacement... Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 My guess is that it sounds like it could be Michael Laudrup or Gianfranco Zola. Both are well respected legendary European former players with the necessary contacts, both are well known and both have been linked with lots of jobs over the years. Neither of these are self publicity types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Neither of these are self publicity types Who are and what does he mean by that? The types with big ego's and personalities like PDC, etc or someone who as done a lot of punditry work like Poyet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Athelstan Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Last summer under Gray we started well, but we needed to strengthen especially in the summer as well as around October when we needed to keep the momentum going which we didn;t do, we were still short on a couple of wingers and a striker. Give Gray the funds and backing this summer and see what he can do, surely he deserves that? Gray brought in the likes of Lees and Westwood which brought about one of the best defenses in the league. I'm sure Gray's priority this time around will be attack, attacking midfielders, wingers and a couple of strikers. Then we should be sorted. We've had one of the best defences in the league, yet let three of the regular defence go (plus another who might have been a stalwart as well had injury not prevented it). Don't people think that replacements will have been identified already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Apparently the new owners don't know their arse from their elbow. Doesn't sound very assuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxondale Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Apparently the new owners don't know their arse from their elbow. Doesn't sound very assuring. DC openly admitted he wasn't a football man. Hence the committee. Not sure why Nixon suddenly thinks he knows the ins and outs of what's going on at S6, Daily Mirror journalist ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Apparently the new owners don't know their arse from their elbow. Doesn't sound very assuring. Is that really a surprise? That photo of him and his family (the one with the grumpy looking kid) didn't exactly scream of a bunch of people well versed in the ways of English football and Sheffield Wednesday. Unsurprisingly he's opted to bring in some people with a bit of "know how" to help him. We see this a lot of the time (Sheik Mansour at Man City has the old guys from Barca) and it encourages me that Mr C was smart enough to recognise his shortcomings and attempt to appoint people with a bit of know how. My only concern is that with a lack of knowledge comes the possibility that he might be taken in by people who purport to be better than they actually are or who are basically self-publicists looking to make a quick buck. Let's hope that isn't the case, though I hope that someone is brought in to replace Adam Pearson who I feel would have guarded against such things.

Random Task Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 What Nixon's said is a bit worrying - I don't normally fuss about stuff like this, but Nixon is pretty reliable. He's basically saying that people need to talk to the owners to get the ball rolling but the owners don't see it as urgent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So essentially there's no direction from the top and as a result the committee can't do anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest _Ibbo_ Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Paul Aldridge is still at the club..... Changing things often takes time for it to settle down..... No worries. Think the resignation of Pearson was a big blow tbh...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike312 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 A lot of chairmen know nowt about football, that's why they hire others with know how. It's nothing new. We have to have direction though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
