Owl999 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Semedo's ferret said: I got 12s on Rowett last week (just an hunch). Even after today's news that Hughton is the favoured man, I'm not tempted by the 9/4 on him. Not because i don't believe he's in the reckoning, but because i think he's waiting for another southern club. Precisely the reason I don’t want him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was years ago and he said it was to do with his family living here. His kids will probably all have grown up and be adults, maybe moved away. I don't think he'd managed anywhere or had any offers since he got sacked by Leicesters feeder club OHL. Maybe his circumstances /outlook has changed.

Not exactly chomping at the bit to manage us is he. Move on. If we have to persuade him to this extent then i don't want him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 whats going off why is chansiri out of the country at this time? at the most critical time of the season, deadline day 10days away and no manager, I don't see how he could hire a manager over the phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Well, I had assumed the Ray Houghton thing was just a joke given all the people misspelling Hughton's name. But now Semedo's Ferret has said it, you have to wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrbuk Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Maybe DC has said, look, here's the offer, I'm going to take my kids away for some quality time, I need a decision when I'm back or I move on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ka58 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 8 hours ago, SiJ said: The candidates have been reportedly extensively on here and in a number of media outlets. How do you know we haven't made offers. Yes, we are 1 weeks away from the season with no manager...you can thank Steve Bruce for that. No doubt you will be the first to start complaining if we don't get the person you want...whoever that is. On here? People quoting bookies lists? Im not suggesting the circumstances we found ourselves in are the clubs fault. we need to resolve it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not suggesting the circumstances we found ourselves in are the clubs fault. we need to resolve it though. I think it's harsh to criticise Chansiri or the club in general for the time it's taken to get a manager in place. We were dropped in it by Bruce. Chansiri had to start the search from scratch. Yes, we could have better succession planning (bring back the committee), but that's a different issue. Nevertheless, it seems, if all the media chatter is anything to go by, that an appointment will be made soon. I dare say that on day one, when Hughton had supposedly ruled himself out, Chansiri could have called Rowett and given him the job. Imagine the outcry though. At the time Rowett was in the "f**k me, no way, dinosaur, no championship promotions on his cv" list. What's he doing making such a rash stupid, decision? Roll on two weeks, Chansiri has reviewed the options, spoken to some, and we fans too have realised that Rowett might not be such a bad idea after all. Alternatively, having done the job properly, he might get our first choice after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Pearson has been linked with the Bolton job, assuming that the proposed takeover goes ahead. I suspect that his odds have shortened with us on the assumption that the Bolton deal may collapse & he's looking for another job in England. I'd be torn if he was appointed...as a player he was a Wednesday legend, but as a Coach & a bloke he comes across as a complete turd & a bit tapped too. That said, if he was appointed I'd be fully behind the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Well it looks like we have a short list of three. Hughton, Rowett and Pearson. And it looks like in that order. best short list of managers we’ve had in a long long time. Said Hughton all along, but would be happy with any of those three. Well done MrC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
