Will it be GB or Waggot introducing him in the media?

If GB is no where we can safely assume he has left.

Well connected fan on Twitter says he's gone.

The fact you are not sure Jim tells you all you need to know about Rovers under the Raos.

I'm amazed the club has found a replacement at such short notice, although I assume they most have know JDT was lining up the Sweden job for some time.  

This will be the narrative in years to come, much like "Lambert was lining up the Celtic job", which was also bullshit.

The owners pushed both through the door with lies a deceit, its as simple as that.

Things are on hold while Balaji just takes a call from Simon Grayson's agent.

Didn't he say something like... I offered to go in the Summer when a hand grenade was thrown and the project changed to staying in this league and developing players. I'm more ambitious.

Something along those lines yes, but I interpreted that as him offering the club the chance to get rid of him for free, both because the project had changed and they might want someone else to oversee it, and also because if they were in cutback mode it might be attractive to them to save some more money, and not that JDT was desperate to leave and from the summer.

In the end they said no and persuaded him to stay on, I suspect they also told him that the issues with India were a temporary matter that would soon be fixed and that by January we'd be back on track. I think going off his comments he went into January expecting business to get done, and only after they've let him down again has he concluded there can be no future here with liars and con men.

I was saying that a couple of moments ago in a previous post -you were a little more forthright. 😀

JDT has been lining up the Sweden job because of the owners lies and deceit?

[aletheia]

Control of the narrative is where it's at-the atmosphere on Saturday will be telling.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

The deal could be because the secretary is asking 5 people to proof read and double check everything is correct.

Waggot will get some grief tomorrow.

[Groundhog]

They're probably going through the shredder pile looking for Berg's contract, tipex-ing out the bits that Derek fucked up, and photocopying it.

Well just to put some context on this. I wasn’t pushing anyone’s ‘narrative’ but I know for an absolute fact that Paul Lambert was indeed angling for the Celtic job and it was me that posted that on here. It was why he had the clause put in his contract in the first place.

It really wasn’t bullshit Gav - I have better connections at Celtic Park than I do at Ewood 😉

[Paul Mellelieu]

Assume they want to announce incoming and departure at same time.

[Polky]

I reckon around Wednesday next week they’ll be an article about messing up Eustace’s contract.

Appeal will be lodged and rejected, which will leave us with Lowe & Benson for the rest of the season.

Am I right in saying that JDT has gone but no official statement from the club has been issued confirming it.

Am I also right in saying that John Eustace is coming in but no official statement from the club has been issued confirming it.

 

But at least there is a statement about the U21s tonight.

[Groundhog]

Turns out they've got the names switched on the paperwork, I've heard we've sacked Eustace before he's even started and signed JDT on a deal to the end of the season.

After a quick scramble in the office, things have been fixed - Eustace is now the new manager of Sweden! Sorted!
