New Manager

[Kalman]

I mean he played for Bristol City so it's not like he hasn't been down that way before (I know it's another 2 hours on to Plymouth, but I meant he isn't against going down south), but yeah Barnsley would be a great fit for him, they've got a good squad as well. Think their ownership is now more stable too.

It’s not so much that he’s against living or working down south. He’s a southerner after all. It’s more to do with uprooting his family to move closer to Plymouth. Him being sacked by City will likely have a massive effect on him and show how precarious being a football manager is. If I was in his shoes, I’d wait for a job closer that I could commute to whilst my family stays put rather than having to move my entire family to a fringe region of the UK, especially since I could be sacked after a year if it’s not going well. He’s got daughters of secondary school age and a young lad as well I think. I imagine they’re quite settled wherever they are (still Derby I think?).

Maybe depends what age his kids are - does he want to move them if they are exam stage etc.?

Barnsley are on the lookout for a new manager, though if Rosie has turned down the Plymouth job, he might be holding out for higher unless it's about distance.

Reading might also be on the lookout soon, I don't think they can afford to stay in League One for another season after this next one.

I think Liam children are of an age coming up to their exams, so I don't think he would want to move schools, so a job commutable from the Derby area I would think would suit him.

I thought his kids were in primary? I'm sure his oldest is only 7 or 8?

HDM - "We have a recruitment team of 10 people travelling all around the world, in Europe, and in Africa, they watch a player live five times. How can your coach watch him? Our recruitment team will decide, we will ask the coach 'do you like him', 'yes', then we will finish (the deal)."

So, why wasn't Pandur given game time to prove himself? If he looked poor on the training ground fair enough but why sanction the transfer in the first place? Does the recruitment process really work like that?

I googled it. From an article in 2017, he said he had 4 daughters, eldest was 18 and youngest was 6. His youngest would be 12 now. Don’t know how old the middle two daughters are but they might be still in secondary.

And 1 son i believe?

Didn't one of his kids have a bit of a dig about his dismissal on social media somewhere? Sure I read it on here, but didn't see a link.

Just realised he must’ve had his first child at 15.

EDIT: his eldest daughter (24 now) is his step-daughter, apparently. So he didn’t become a dad at 15. His missus might be older than him.

Certainly at least one was born in Ferriby, which would have been 10--12 years ago, other I am not sure, but I seem to remember him saying he would not leave Derby area as it would affect his kids schooling.

The pre match music will be classic.

Maybe Wagner and Acun could have a Hart to Hart?

 

[SydneyTiger14]

Good game? He only came on at 79 mins!!! The point was poster saying his goal against Ipswich was because his awareness and technique had improved because of rosenior.....yet it was absolutely fine in his 10 mins (TEN) against Rotherham.
Btw he only came on at 74 mins v Ipswich!! "his game was much better" !!! Please just stop it.

Take your own advice. Even Howden who backs you on most things agrees he had clearly improved over the course of the season.

He was not absolutely fine against Rotherham.

You 2 argue to your hearts content but Leave me out of things Syd. I don't have sides, I just give my own opinion

Yes and I was pointing to your opinion to suggest GFAW was on his own.

If he turned down Plymouth as he didn't want to relocate, why would he relocate to Norwich? I know its not as far, but surely Sunlan is a better fit for him?

The tourist board for Norwich will be along very shortly to extol the virtues of beautiful Norwich.

That would be murder.

It always seemed an odd signing to me. I know some fans wanted a new keeper at that time but it was obvious that LR was happy with Allsop and Ingram so I couldn't make any sense of why we were signing another one. This was before there was any suggestion of us making "club signings" and "Liam signings". Certainly seems like LR never wanted him.

His Dad didn’t have the best time down there!

We're not going to know about Pandur until we actually see him.

If we ever do.

The new manager might not rate him either.

Fantastic hourly rate though.
