But like us they offered him a short term deal. Fair play to Cook. Would be an awful career move to accept a short term deal with the majority of his management career ahead of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as us. I agree with you, there’s been plenty of jobs and he hasn’t had one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitcat Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Take the job, keep us up, play good football, get a longer contract. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton9owl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Since he bought the club he has had to pay the contracts of every manager he’s fired. He is probably still paying Garry Monk and Pullis at least until their contracts expire or until they get new jobs when maybe any payment owing might cease. If he employs another manager on say a 2 year contract and they fall short of his expectation then that’s another high cost he would have to pay - his bank account must look a bit sad right now. By trying to get a new manager to accept a short term contract he could get shut quite cheaply if we end up in League 1. The question is ‘what decent manager or coach would come on those terms.’ It’s now looking increasing like Thompson will get the job until the end of the season. But let’s face it with Chansiri you just never know until it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'd give him four years and let him actually build for L1 or championship next season onwards 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 No idea what chansiri is thinking offering a short term contract if This is is intention them to evaluate at the end of the season he already has his man in charge currently nobody of worth will accept a deal there will be many managerial casualties coming up with the run the EFL clubs are about to go on. They will just hang tight another month or two maybe that’s chansiri as thought process he will have more to chose from over the next couple of months if that’s the case give it Thompson until the end of the season so we have short term stability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrbluesky Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 At least the chairman is consistent. Please go and do your best to sell the club DC, Give Mike Ashley a bell, see if he can put you in touch with a buyer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how it all works behind the scene's to be fair. However I can't imagine many managers signing a contract under those terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I can understand why Chansiri favours such a deal, but what decent manager will accept such an offer? It's not as if we're a parachute club with loads to spend. Let's hope Thompson can cut the mustard or else we're doomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I wouldn't have minded him, but had doubts he'd come anyway. He'd just left one basket case of a club that was a complete disaster off the pitch with a chairman not easy to deal with. Why would you want to take another job on knowing it was in a similar situation. Well unless your a glutton for punishment, youd be looking for a far more cushdy and less drama filled place to spend most of your day at work or I would anyway.

WalthamOwl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Can’t blame him. Offering a 4 month contract is ridiculous. No decent manager will except that which is why we will end up with Thompson Edited January 27, 2021 by WalthamOwl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 To just offer short term contract basically 4 months with no guarantee of offer of longer contract if you keep club up you will not get any body worth their salt to take the job. DC's behaviour will also have put a premium on job, if you take job get sacked and Chairman goes on internet and spots off about you for an hour a manager with a few years ahead of him will not commit to a few months in such a scenario. Managers need security as much as anybody else and job that needs doing at Wednesday will take years not months. With Cook refusing short term job offer at Cardiff we do the same interesting policy. This is just to try and take heat off when they put a donkey in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Not as simple as that. We've wasted the transfer window, not that Chansiri would relinquish control and fixture wise have no time to work with the players on the training ground to make any sort of material impact. It's like being offered a parcel courier job on a trial, to be extended if you hit your targets, but then being provided with a bike, with a flat tyre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook will want the stability of a reasonable length of contract, as will other reasonable candidates. Are we to limit our search only to those so desperate they'll take the job on a short term deal? Only those so desperate they'll take the job on a short term deal that also have a particular agent... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
