FreshOwl 10,496 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Christ, I thought some on here would realise it’s not as simple as just bringing him in. Sure he might want to come, but im sure there’s many areas that would need agreeing first. And whose to say he’s happy with what we’ve offered him, if we actually have? Going on like he’d sign a blank contract because he’s apparently desperate to manage us? Edited January 13 by FreshOwl 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine the small change jar that contains our available funds and the pending losses of numerous squad members (if not this month then in the summer) might be a bit of a problem just for starters. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
WalthamOwl 18,896 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Maybe Chansiri is waiting for football to be put on hold again to save him paying a manager to sit at home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Owls Loyal 1,544 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Paul Cook seemed that keen on the job during the SKY broadcst that I would have thought a cheap deal could suit DC. Link to post Share on other sites

Owls Loyal 1,544 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 In the event of football being put on hold we would still need a capable Manager like Paul Cook to have a plan re player contracts, determine playing strategy and identify recruitment needs. At this very moment in time Liam Shaw could depart S6 in the summer and we would receive only derisory compensation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Owls Loyal 1,544 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Sherlyegg should understand that there is a difference between idetifying recruitment needs, e.g big target man than sourcing the likely players. Link to post Share on other sites

Owls Loyal 1,544 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I am not sure there are clear signs that football is going to be put on hold. The debate seems to be more about nursery schools and going indoors at Take Aways. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Owls Loyal 1,544 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I personally feel that Birmingham City might possibly be the team we could overtake together with Wycombe and Rotherham to ensure survival in the Championship. Karanka's job must surely be hanging by a thread. What a horrible irony it would be if Karanka is fired and they act with speed to appoint Paul Cook who then proceeds to relegate us. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure, as things stand, Birmingham have much better striking options than us, as do most sides at the bottom. In the end, that will be the deciding factor I believe. A lot depends on this window Link to post Share on other sites

tomhollywood 2,115 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It would be classic Chansiri when all the fans are really fed up of with the way he's running the club, to not employ the guy that most fans want and potentially bring back some positivity. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Owls Loyal should understand, cook will have no say on who comes and goes.. See we have signed Andre Green without a manager in place who'd a thunk it..well some might have.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Owls Loyal 1,544 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I really was not making that point. Whethyer effective or not, I do appreciate that under the DC model the Recruitment Team source the players. What I was describing was identifying the recruitment need/focus, e.g we need a decent target man so go and find one that we can affiord. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
marshy 2,813 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Surely by now IF we were talking to Cook, it would have been sorted wouldn't it? What else can they be talking about? The weather in Thailand? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
