Quist 2,766 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Our reputation as an employer that will take in waifs and strays and it does not matter how poor your credentials are has attracted one of best lists of third rate managers I have laid my eyes on. Their may be an hidden gem but my word their are some right turds. A high proportion would not get a work permit rules are fairly clear and easy to see if qualify. I am now uneasy looking at list for who is going to crop up next. The only thing we have not had is some who is dead. I really do hope Dc does interview British candidate (ideally Paul Cook) so as to give them a chance. The new manager will have to fit style to players we have and that is no easy task. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
s29wfc 1,306 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Paco Jemez makes a significant move within the last hour coming in to 8/1 from 20's 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Morepork 14,031 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Nobody knows, primarily because our decision maker doesn’t know. Once his “advisors” (I use the term loosely) report back to him with their feedback/agendas then he’ll make his decision on a dice roll as usual. Link to post Share on other sites

CircleSeven 1,870 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I am actually getting bored now. Just want someone to get the blooming job so I can start moaning about them! Was going to start moaning about Thompson soon but he’s got COVID now so he isn’t even coaching us at the moment! Damn it! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Both Barton and McCarthy started the week in work, end the week out of work and see themselves as frontrunners in a betting market for a job, I very much doubt that either have a chance of getting? I expected a run on Ivic today given his appearance at 4-1 and the thread on here but that hasn’t happened yet? I still think the dark horse is Weiler, seems to have a solid pedigree and we could well strike gold, should we appoint him? Ivic or Weiler would suit me too Jim. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hitcat 2,199 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 9 hours ago, prowl said: Define a Tory. If you mean he's upper middle class or aristocracy, that's wrong. He's from common stock but done exceptionally well because he's exceptionally intelligent and very hard working. Starmer is everything that the previous lLabour leader wasn't. I've never voted Tory but I couldn't vote for Corbyn. Starmer might be the best thing to happen to Labour in a generation. Still early days of course but he looks the real deal so far. The Mail on Sunday ran a story claiming the family home in Oxted, Surrey had an Aga cooker – often found in well-to-do homes – though when the Mail’s Michael Crick visited the house, he found a modest, pebble-dashed semi. Starmer told the Guardian in December: “My dad was a toolmaker and my mum was a nurse. And not everybody knows that and that’s because I don’t say it very often … the middle class background just doesn’t wash.” He's also got a head like a fūcked robot. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
sMacLean 1,706 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Barton would be my choice. Ruffle some feathers but in a modern style. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
