  1. Maybe they are here at Manchester Airport waiting for David Dein and Arsene Wenger,
  2. Im sure we will have 24 hours of someone else tomorrow, by the weekend Chaddy would have appointed 10 managers off an alleged 8 man list
  3. I've tried not to cheap skate this time, my idea of flying from stansted last year as it was a £2k saving, had me paying out another £2.5k to leave the country 3 days later, as they closed the gate 30 mins before take off and we arrived 28 mins before. I believe its bedlam at Manchester, but kids are off to in-laws so hopefully wont be too painful
  4. Nothing new bar Ferguson a none starter. I'm getting ready for the airport, so probably will have nothing to add before an appointment, (wedding anniversary break, and phone ban)
  5. I remember when I was managing juniors in the Central Lancs we needed to win the last two games to win the league. Prior to these games arguably our best player and the best player in the league, did his hamstring. We played our penultimate game, and despite him being injured i put him on the bench, which raised plenty of eyebrows. We were winning 1-0 but was being absolutely battered, it was only a matter of time before they equalised or potentially scored twice for us to lose. With 20 minutes to go, despite the my player being unable to run or kick a ball, I put him on. Just the sight of him appearing had the opposition completely change their tactics, they put 3 players on him. By the time their manager had worked out, he could barely move, they'd lost all impotence and we won 2-0, won our final game and were crowned champions. Managers make tough decisions, in Rovers case we didnt go down because of Huddersfield, the season is over 46 games. We went down because we finished in the relegation zone due to pur own fault
  6. Ultimate Huddersfield went up, it stunk at the time, but if you or I was Manager you wouldn't care a single jot how your decision affects other teams, if it aids you securing your own goal of promotion
  7. I think the max bet is £30, so its not exactly major money being thrown at anyone. Manager markets are not a game of chance, so the bookies wont take big bets due to leaks from grandma's, sisters, girlfriends, uncles etc
  8. As reported on the 8th May, Wagner was on the opening list (V's List), I'm a little surprised that's not gained far more traction or a wider discussion/debate regarding the potential in that appointment on here in particular. Our first Foreign appointment given that opening list would be more likely than a British Manager, especially if you add Carvalhal to the three mentioned before. That's four foreign coaches, and very little being offered in opposition to a British Manager.
  9. I'm not sure exactly whats occurring at Ewood, i gave up listening to Ewood a long time ago. The three names I was given I've posted on here. I believe V's where in London last week with the intention of speaking with representation/candidates. If Ewood/local media are to be believed, there has been 50-60 applicants, which has given them a list of 8 names now. Do people honestly believe we have not actively been approaching managers ourselves and are going to rely on applicants? In the last week i've read we offered the job to Carvalhal which we have not, we've interviewed Beale which we have not, that Ferguson is going to be appointed which he is not, we've approached Ainsworth which we have not. I'm sure many agents are throwing names in the mix, i'm also pretty sure those at Ewood will be talking to many people, you have to if you've 60 alledged applicants. At this stage, no one has been offered the job. I'm sure that Ewood list will be smaller, as will Venkys list which is being managed by their closest advisors. It will be smaller through managers walking away, their demands being too great or rovers just not fancying the manager after talks. Would I put money on an appointment? I have done on two names Is that with confidence? I would never be confident with a Venkys run Rovers. We've not suddenly become a well run club despite what some would want you to believe. There are still many who wouldnt touch us with a 10ft barge pole.
  10. Nothing i've wrote on here to date has changed, everything i've wrote so far regarding timeline has occurred. I jet off to Spain this week and i fully expect an appointment to be announced on the 6th June 2022, which is 110% not ferguson, he aint even in the running!!! I've not posted anything for days, as i've nothing to add to any previous post. On Farke, he was v's first choice, its upto them to persuade him to take the job, Im not Farke and have zero influence in him saying yes or no
  11. I know the 5 who sit with me, and also myself, have yet to renew. Also the ones who we drink with pre-match have'nt renewed either, so not too sure where this flying off the shelf is coming from, as that's 9 season tickets off the top of my head which remain unrenewed
  12. The way my horse is fattening up during his spring/summer break he will probably jump better than him too
  13. Gonna be peed if Jagielka jumps ahead of Arsene Wenger , was just starting to warm to that given someone else claims he has said yes to them
  14. I aint got time for that, On TM, no-one saw that coming, if we'd had 50 guesses, So these alledged 4 person interviews, could be anything from wagatha, to shearings coaches. Given the 50 or so reported applicants, unless 46 included you and i and similar then this is poor by any imagination
  15. The one on the right was the one who aint managed before, starts the week after Carvalhal decides no
  16. On Farke 100% that is not true, he has spoken with V's advisors directly, if he has chosen not to speak with Ewood, then ultimately he does not like what was said by the V's
  17. There is a few tbf, and if Farke dont get the job, i think that will be the first one in 12 years on here where i have been wrong 😉
  18. I've seen quite a few tbf, and one of the posters i do stand up and take notice when he post something
  19. If true out of 50 applicants the nerds at Ewood shortlisted those 4, god help us. I'm currently working away, but you have good record, so no reason to doubt what you say. My only reservation would be if Waggott is going which is strongly doing the rounds today, its strange he'd be in a position to offer the role? I'd also be dubious Farke turned down an interview after previously indicating to venkys advisors he'd be open to the discussion. Either way this news is most disappointing, roll on my holidays next week
  20. At that time, he was working in the family business and getting ready for Uni, Obviously communication has continued since
