pgmetcalf Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Already succeeded in my book, the pig fans are totally peaced off no matter how much they’re trying to hide it by going on the offensive and that has to be worth it already 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping Bullen is the backstop. What's the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t get a month to trail round estate agents and meeting the locals on money like that. My money is on us having to pay Villa compensation if he signs for another club before a certain date. 1 hour ago, Harrysgame said: Good news this and don't mind the 1st Feb. Agree think it must be a contractual thing, compromise agreement etc. Last thing we need is having lawyers distracting things. As pointed out coaches will be doing their stuff on a day to day basis and sure he will be running the show in the background. From doom and gloom 3 weeks ago to a Happy place. Funny old game!

Simon Jordan calls them Indemnity clauses, where a club pays compensation to a manager and if he gets another club before a certain date it has to be paid back.

Socialist_Owl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Comments in the Guardian re : appointment are a tad critical, biggest gripe is the continuing managerial retread system. I'd agree, but they're discounting the depth of the issues re: personnel and future recruitment here. Novices & neophytes and low league hotshots need not apply.

Who cares what their fans think of our manager? That's the kind of myopic mentality I expect of their fans, not ours. Whilst some United fans might think he's a decent appointment, I'm sure the vast majority of their fanbase couldn't give two hoots who we appoint whilst they're busy chasing promotion.

Only two years after the 97th minute goal that won them the league in 1993 as well! What with doing that.... and managing Blades.... and Beating us at Wembley with Hull...... we've got LOADS of ammo to use against him if it all goes t1ts up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Blades will be smarting over this one. No matter how well they do will always be overshadowed by us. Can see them now complaining to Sky how they didn't get major coverage when King Wilder was appointed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlsfieldowl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Be interesting to see what he changes. ..we look pretty settled at the moment but if he can add an extra 10% we could have a pretty good second half of the season. I thinks it’s right it plan without Hooper and Lee - if they come back it will be a bonus but Winnall back could be a real bonus if he stays fit.

Not sure I would have waited until 1st February but will wait and see what happens. Look North have just said that the two assistants will take charge until Feb 1st. Only justifiable reason for this is to allow the Bruce team to make changes in personnel this month. Otherwise would not be keen on disturbing Bullen for two assistants.

Can't wait for wilder to mention the "gap", no, not that one, I mean the "pay gap", think he's on minimum wage so he's not going to be pleased.
