Its almost certain something changed day before or on day change of venue occurred. it would have to be new income stream rather than investment to generate substantial new funds. Think a change at this time also allows any new manager to look at squad prior to transfer window as refresh of squad required. I suppose only other option is the club has been sold but little has come out regarding this. Interesting to see what emerges. Agreed Going to the Octagon suggests an announcement of some sort If it’s a new income stream - what could this be? Can’t say I’m fully clued up on how we could get around FFP with this?

sonofbert2 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I trust the OP and have also heard it's a done deal from other sources I trust in the last couple of days and he probably made his mind up after the Norwich game when we got hammered 4-0 even though they didn't play the bloke he spent millions on to score the goals to take us up. No wonder he needed a smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it will be something big for him to call it at this time then change the venue though I doubt it will be he has sold the club. I can't see the point of a fans forum to announce that TBF.............................but....................who knows what he might think.

sonofbert2 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 A bit of positive PR following Leicester's example will see those attending will get a Chrimbo pressie on the night. The following morning the homes, streets and vehicles of our great city will be full of folk beaming with pride as they display to the world their new Jordan Rhodes T-Shirts with the wrong badge on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I’m fully clued up on how we could get around FFP with this? Investment is somebody buying shares which means money goes to owner of shares not club. Income is money from sponsorship, TV money, sales of merchandise tickets. Sponsorship of Ground Academy, new shirt sponsor, sales of Wednesday shirts in Thailand have rocketed! Who knows what they will come up with after energy drink and taxis. I would never go to a forum but this could be worth it just to see what happens. I am certain we will have a thread / poll before forum saying what do you think will be announced at forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hooper is 31 in January. Under Bruce he gets a deal. Under Jos, he can not be rewarded for failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 He has never changed the venue of the fans forum before , which suggests something is happening. Can't see him doing if just to allow more angrymad in to give him pelters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thank you for the PMs guys. Unfortunately however, I have three different versions of what is going on. If anyone else wishes to share their version, I might be able to corroborate one of the versions shared so far on the weight of evidence available.

Bannofan Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If they are at the Octagon, maybe the fans forum is just support for either.. The Zutons Maximo Park Bowling For Soup. (Some on here will get that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people are hoping and praying it's true. Whilst it isn't the finite answer. it will at least give us a chance of primarily staying in the division.

WalthamOwl Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I hope the OP is correct and Jos is on his way. However I just can’t see DC employing a manager like Bruce, a manager that is British and also whose wages will be a hell of a lot more than Carlos or Jos’s. Wouldn’t say Bruce is a puppet like DC seems to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Bruce does seem somewhat of a strange choice from Chansiri if we go on what we know. So has he seen the light. Or Has a new investor come on to the board to help Chansiri out and insisted that Bruce is our next manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
