Especially just before Christmas. He could have waited a few more weeks if nothing going on. However that's just speculation on my part as I know fizz all. I really hope there is going to be some sort of positive news announced. However with DC I doubt anything positive will come from this meeting.

I merely checked his last few months of posts re his claim to only post accurate stuff. I couldn’t find any so merely questioning what he had previously got right. Sorry Plonk, wasn't referring to you inparticular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it we are, like Villa if we did bring in investment we still need to adhere to the 39m over 3 years shizzle, so wouldn't change anything in the short term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Jos is a goner. Was decided on Monday. Similar to last season. We’d made a decision on Carlos after the Wolves game, but kept him in charge against Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlinmad Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Someone told me last Saturday that Jos' contract runs out after the next match. It wasn't an in ITK type of statement just something mentioned in a chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it means a proper football manager, with a full compliment of backroom staff and control over transfers then I'm all for it. Sounds good in theory but not sure how we would do it given our alleged financial situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Something is brewing - 100% I can’t see why Chansiri would call a fans forum at this time of year and arrange for it to be in the Octagon Im envisaging him announcing new investment and a new manager - hence get as many people in as possible and create an atmosphere which gives him the adulation that he probably is expecting on the back of the news? It just wouldnt happen usually - we could cap the tickets, and say that’s it. Expecting Jos to be gone after the weekend and Bruce in with the news that we can spend in Jan and not have any FFP impact on us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Bruce with a 30m transfer budget in January on the back of news from the EFL that the 39m over 3 years limit has doubled due to rises in players' wages since the limit was originally set. What could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
