WalthamOwl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If we are going to take a chance on a sodding Portuguese coach I hope it is the number 2 at wolves. At least he has knowledge of the English game and the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I’m OK with DC appointing an obscure foreign manager, who nobody has heard of, as long as he lets me know, so I can have a few bob on it at 50-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 28 minutes ago, oz_owl said: With the Hughton and Rowett "news" the market shifted - Rowett odds tumbled and Hughton drifted. On Sky Bet Hughton has come back in to 1/2 now. Which is weird if him turning it down is from a genuine source - you'd expect the money to dry up for him completely. Surely you'd expect him to disappear completely if he's stated he has turned it down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my suspicions It is odd isn't it - if he has been approached, and he's waited days to confirm he's not interested he must have been at least open to the possibility of becoming the manager. What indeed has been offered for him to turn it down? I can't imagine it's money. My worry is DC has reacted to SB's actions and potentially inserted a fair few restrictive clauses that understandably protects SWFC. They may be too protective for some of the candidates. My view is if we want a high-calibre manager with football-wide respect and contacts, we may have to just accept they could walk if offered another 'bigger' job. Isn't this just reality?

My view is if we want a high-calibre manager with football-wide respect and contacts, we may have to just accept they could walk if offered another 'bigger' job. Isn't this just reality? Could be as simple as Hughton being the first choice all along. He was happy with the terms offered, but wants time to discuss with family, think about whether dropping back to Championship is right for him or not, maybe he's thinking he'll have 1 more job before retiring and wants to be only at top level? Whatever the reasons DC says fine, you're my guy, I'm on holiday for a week so take that time to think about it because I want this to be right for both of us. In the mean time I have full confidence in Bullen to keep things ticking over and manage for a game or two if required. Whilst that is going on DC is making "plan B" plans, talking to others (Coleman? Rowett?) and making sure he knows where to go if Hughton says no. The suggestion now is that it's plan B. I doubt the delay has been a period of doing nothing at all, and I suspect there will be someone in charge after the weekend, one way or another.
