Morepork Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The level of speculation and hearsay on here is truly outrageous at times……the rumour mill is in overdrive, I for one absolutely can’t wait for some “real†news!!!! I firmly believe Gray has earned his chance for next season and all things being equal he’ll get it. Would I be devastated if we replaced him with a big name manager with a proven track record, of course not. However, replacing him with someone who’s just a “big name†is a gamble we don’t need to take right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 So what does it say in the paper this morning, anyone know? just googled Sun and Sheffield Wednesday and got this bizarre story http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3905986/Ex-glamour-model-lines-up-swoop-for-Sheffield-Wednesday.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlontheprowl Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Dan Petrescu according to Nixon but wants more money than we are willing to pay. Bit of a nothing story really - Petrescu talking to other clubs and Wednesday hierarchy split on who to have in charge next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Didn't Milan give Gray a 2 year contract ? Not sure if that runs from Nov when I think hee took over or 1st Jan when I think he was officially given the role. I could well be wrong about either of these dates but either way his contract could be due to run out around the middle of next season so there could be something to this... I'd like to give him a chance but I'm not sure I'd want to give him a new contract untill I had and by then it could be too late to get the new guy. Maybe this is what the reported internal discussions are about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Dennis Bergkamp or Dan Petrescu jump to mind. God I'm good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It sounds like Petrescu is trying to link his name to some English jobs in order to raise his profile as a manager over here, and Alan Nixon is willing to help him as it counts as 'gossip', which is the currency he deals in. If we really were considering Petrescu, who has suggested him? Chansiri has admitted he's no expert on football, so I doubt he's got a fondness for a 90's footballer who's been managing in Romania, Russia and Qatar in recent seasons. If not him, then maybe it was Roeder, who made all the right sounds about working alongside Gray and developing a good working relationship? Why would we risk everything Gray's built so far to take a chance on a manager who's never managed in England before? I could be wrong, but it seems like another nothing Alan Nixon story to me. We'll wait and see, though; this could fall into the 15% or so he calls correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting for a tweet from Rob "the cold water" Staton to say there's no truth in it, then we can all move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 After being told to shut up yesterday, I'll just get on with my gardening. Stay positive whatever. This season, we are in the best position for some time, to progress towards the Premiership. That's the main thing. UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Nixon seems to have good contacts at forest and gets a lot of things right concerning them. He was talking of the Swfc move for Paterson in January. But elsewhere maybe not so much at the moment. It sounds as if Petrescu has approached the media rather than the other way round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
