Maybe they are the contingency plan or maybe they weren't and Still was the only choice and had to start again like you suggested?
That’s just conjecture. It seems nobody gives the club any credit preferring just to believe every negative baseless rumour.
Who said they put all there eggs there? It was said he was no. 1 choice, and that almost worked out. So just maybe they’ve moved on to back up plans not actually starting from scratch again.
Right, so we're just pandering to anyone who shouts loud enough that they've got info about the club, are we? I'll remember to toe the line in future.
People being approached for and then being offered jobs before turning them down is a very common thing that happens on the daily basis across the world. I did it myself this week. Recruiters always have to have a contingency plan. It doesn’t mean they’ve made mistakes or put all their eggs in one basket.
I'm not slagging the club off at all by saying IF they put all their eggs in one basket it was a mistake by them. And I'm quite happy with most of the people linked with the job including Rosenior. Cifuentes is who I'm hoping for now.
'So we put all our eggs into the Still basket. That was their first mistake.' I don't know if you realise what you inevitably do or not ... ... so I'll explain. (You're not alone and I'm speaking generally not personally ... there's a regular theme on here, but mainly on RTG.) What you'll do is make a bold statement as fact. If no one challenges it, or someone agrees, you'll come back with something a bit stronger to back it up. If you are challenged you'll back track a little then, later, act the victim and say 'I am entitled to my opinion'. Then you complain that people think you're negative, I don't understand why tbh ... no offence. So that's what I think, perhaps you could tell me where I'm wrong or maybe you don't care.
It's a funny thing this recruitment process. The club can absolutely shank it and go through their first few choices, embarrassing themselves along the way. They can drop down to eighth or ninth choice, refused by everyone, and if that man succeeds... no one gives a flying ****. Because there are several right men out there for the job at any one time. As long as the man is in before recruitment starts in earnest/the preseason, and he turns out to be a good choice, it's a job well done. Ugly and frustrating though it may seem.
This post has probably been written ( or similar) a dozen times, it makes no difference I think they are pulling their pud as they write the s hite.
Our first choice may have been Potter who we approached and received a 'No thanks'. Our second may have been Cooper who's bound to an agreement with Forest ... ... and so on. Of course if Still had verbally agreed, having been our first choice, we wouldn't pursue people further down the list. It seems some people are just out to attack the club and will use any amount of guesswork. Surely the club actually do enough things, to complain about, without people having to invent more
That's what happens when a situation goes on for over three months. I'm more annoyed by the 'everything's fine man, nothing to worry about' posts. Not as annoyed as one side's constant attempts to bully those who don't think the same way though.
