Quist Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 33 minutes ago, Jim said: Strongest substance I’m on at the moment is Coffee TBH I don’t particularly care anymore. If Cook gets it, he’s no more likely to succeed or fail than anyone else? I’m just fed up with the same old sh!t merry-go-round appointments and I’d like to see us try something different? If you want a safe appointment then Thompson’s the man. Know’s the club, knows the strengths and weaknesses of the players particularly the younger ones as we already have seen with Shaw’s form since TP’s departure plus he hasn’t got an immediate issue with arguably our best forward? Thompson is okbut he needs help. We are very short of coaches and only Thompson has any real sort of managerial experience. Haslam and Bullen experience has come just at Wednesday. Think Haslam and Holdsworth are ok coaches but we are very thin. Also DC needs some sort of safety net if he sacked Thompson where would that leave us. Just need experienced managerial head in through door to complement what we have. Think Cook and Thompson would be good combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he wants to see out his current role until the end of the season (April). Whether we could tempt him with money who knows.. In circumstances I doubt it. The contract is only being offered to end of season (May). As indicated previously it is extremely doubtful any competent manager from abroad will come for such a deal. Cook has hinted he would accept such a deal which surprised me and we would be lucky to get a manager with his record on such a deal. This has been said by numerous pundits who feel thathe is best EFL manager currently available. In the current circumstances I find it absolutely unbelievable that a decision has not been made. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc1983 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Nixon suggesting that the two advisors are creating issues in manager search.

striker Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Think we've been round the houses enough now on this manager search for a coach, wasted most of the the transfer window....time for Chansiri to appoint Cook, see out the season in lower mid table then Chansiri can sell the club in the summer and fizz off.

What about the rumours that DC is looking to sell up and this may be a reason for the short term contract that is on offer? I can’t see many jumping into a relegation battle on a short term contract. Longer this drags on then Thompson doesn’t just look the more likely appointment, he looks like only option available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would buy the club? We are not a bed of roses. Training ground and stadium both need substantial money. Probably new one of both required to put club on stable footing. Unless DC writes off over £150 million not going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hornsby Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Nixon now tweeting that our 2 advisors / footy agents want their candidates as new manager. Pure greed. Also saying, however, that there are bigger issues at club. Not sure if he means cash flow or- hopefully - new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I don’t think I will ever ever understand DC’s thought process. It’s absolutely mind boggling. How could this ever be a healthy way of doing things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football clubs are a money pit. If you want to become a millionaire football club owner you had better start as a billionaire. Any sensible person would go down the slow and steady progress route. Buy, sell for a profit, good scouts, sort the training out. All the simple stuff that takes a few years to pay off. That's what DC should do now he's found chucking money at it doesn't work. If he would learn that we would be on our way but he doesn't seem to want to learn, he'd rather listen to advisors who may be more interested in their own interests than his. One day all this will be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 So he’s playing one advisor off against the other. No problem with that providing it leads to the right appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshy Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Worst move ever was not bringing in Howard Wilkinson. Would have kept the club, and in turn DC safe. Knows the game, the sharks etc. What a mess. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
