New Head Coach

We absolutely will be talking to managers without getting permission first. It happens all the time.

Sometimes you don’t even need permission if their contract has defined exit clauses.

 

Someone on RTG (I know) reckons it's definitely Sablè

Surely not...

 

Depends who’s saying it though to whether they’re credible or not

 

To be fair with due respect, you’re hedging your bets on this mind.

 

what?

 

'Paninaro' is his name

 

I don’t remember him but it’s about 4 years since I was on there.

 

I’m saying with respect, you’re guessing.

 

Really doubt it. And when you read the "article" it's all "could" and "may", based on a bookie giving odds on him. And let's face it, with the current ownership I very much doubt that any bookie has any inside information coming from us. Under previous owners, possibly, but not now.

 

Never seen a post from him before even attempting to be ITK.

Could be a huge scoop for the lad

 

I’m saying with respect you’re guessing

 

okay if that's what you think

 

Ok. You know, you were miles away in the takeover as well.

 

Is there any info on Sable out there at all? It seems like a strange appointment without context. We're not hiring because he's the assistant to Farioli. Must have seen something in his St.Etienne youth teams, but that club hasn't exactly been setting the world alight lately, so you have to wonder why he didn't get his chance there. Maybe Aouichiche raved about him at St.Etienne?

 

With respect

 

sounds a lot like Panini too me.

 

STOP THE PRESSES

Alex Neil is available....

Sorry

 

No

It all came from Woodlebert on RTG

 

I meant info on his career to be fair, I'm not really arsed which internet poster said what.

I've not even seen a single article or profile about his career though.
