RibbleValleyRover Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Looking like Sam will be offered it, not that confident though that he will take it. Interesting to see Souness ruling himself out. Murray? his assistant at both Rovers and Newcastle says he clearly wants it, but he hasn't been contacted. If Allardyce turns us down and Souness isn't being considered who do we have left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugg Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Eh I did not see any were or anyone say a manager had to be white, but I did see a lot of media references to why it would be good to have a black premiership manager, and I will just check outside which planet I'm on and I suggest you do the same! He might not have said a manager has to be white, but he wrote it as a pro for Allardyce, along with a couple of other things. How can skin colour be a positive or negative attribute when looking for a football manager? As for BuckyRover, I don't know what Anelka was on and so can't comment.

RevidgeBlue Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Maybe more to the appointment of BFS today after all. SPN Souey has turned the job down. Just seen it on Sky Sports News. It's merely a rehash of the quotes obtained by the LT. As nicko said, I think he 's saying "I don't think I can possibly be your man because I've had no real contact with the Club" rather than "I don't want it."

If Allardyce turns us down and Souness isn't being considered who do we have left? To be honest, I don't think Ince would have got the sack without the next man already lined up. I think it will be Allardyce and I think it may already be a done deal. These things do take a short time to come out. I can't imagine the club sacking Ince without having someone lined up especially as he has left Mathias and Knox in charge whom the fans don't like even more than Ince. There's a huge, huge game coming up this weekend, williams would not have left us without a man in charge before such a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 In an attempt to cut through some of the tosh... SAM - has met Rovers. SOUEY - wants the job but has not yet been called. GRANT - not due into the country until Friday. But, let me stress, the Fat Sam has not sung yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think we have identified Sam. Nicko - have you heard anything on us sounding out Baxter out of interest?? Got a pretty solid tip off that he has spoken to JW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblerrovers Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Did SSN actually have video of Souness rulling himself out or just quotes, interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modes98 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I know it can change quickly but the bookies think it's pretty much a done deal looking at the odds. 1/3 is the best you can get on BFS, the next nearest is Soui at 4/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 In an attempt to cut through some of the tosh... GRANT - not due into the country until Friday. Is he actually interested? Are we actually interested in speaking to him before making a decision? Could we risk losing Sam to Sunderland in the interim as a result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which indicates he has been offered it but hasnt said 'yes'. Which will panic JW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Who's your money on Nicko? Is Grant coming in for an interview? 1...Hamburg to beat Villa. 2...He is flying into London on Friday, doesn't sound like an interview as he is due to go back on Monday.

Pugg Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 perfect if true I voted for him in the summer no one listened Well ner ner ner ner ner I backed Ince when it was announced, it was a gamble, it didn't work. John Williams met him, and I trusted his judgement. I thought Ince must have discussed his up to date coaching techniques, demonstrated his tactical genius, and stated what amazing targets he would go for and will have mentioned in his interview about his fabulous man management, and exampled this by pointing JW towards his lower league achievements. I mean why else would John Williams employ him? Do I want us to take a gamble on an inexperienced manager again? No, because we can't afford to. I think there are a lot of pro Allardyce points now.

Another thing that makes him the right candidate. Anyone who is happy to come in and not improve the squad in January is the wrong man at this time.

nicko Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sam has met them - obviously the money will have been discussed. However there is at least one other runner. And Souey is not out of it yet. So the next day or so is going to be ultra-interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 People are going on about Mancini as if he's a realistic option. Until there's even any rumour that he might want to come, Sam is easily our best option. Hold your horses on the 1st part....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftWinger Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 However there is at least one other runner. And Souey is not out of it yet. So Sam, Souey and AN Other (I'd guess Curbishley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sam has met them - obviously the money will have been discussed. You may not be at liberty to divulge or possibly may not know at this stage but do you have any information as to whether Allardyce actually wants it or not?
