New Manager ?

It would take a very brave chairman to appoint Hope Powell, just look at the problem some people have with a female assistant referee!! I wouldn't mind Hope Powell getting the job, I think see would do well considering the massive strides forward she made with the English team... but would she be interested? I have only heard rumours, has she actually applied or is this just some media hijinks?

 

Andy Hessenthaler is now on skybet at 25-1! Haaaaaa!

 

No Manager....No Team....No Hope......= No Season Ticket

 

I cannot believe that any candidate put in their name then told Mr.Scally that he would have to wait whilst they went on holiday. I know what I'd say ......
"Don't even bother to send a postcard "

 

Where are they on holiday Australia?

 

Andy Scott's odds have dropped to 6/1, very interesting. Has anything happened or is this just Sky Bet toying with us?

 

All of it is unexplained it's just movement to keep it interesting. Scally has kept it quiet and I don't think we normally hear anything until a day or so before the appointment is made. Although it is funny that a news site also runs an online bookies

 

Sky bet dont have a clue! He is always listed as Alex Scott! And they dont even list all the candidates! Still have Mark Robson in the betting etc!!

 

mark0000, you say skybet don't have a clue...you don't by any chance work for them do you

 

Haha, gladly no I dont!

 

Isn't this whole process just going on a tad too long for the best interests of the Football Club?

 

Don't worry mate, the Euro 2012 ends on Sunday 1st July and we will then probably announce a new manager around the 5th. Just saying

 

I know this has already been mentioned in the silly season thread. But doesn't any one else feel that David James would be a decent candidate as a possible player manager..?

If/When we sell Gazza, then he would be an ideal replacement for a least the first year while improving both Flitney and Hawkes. He should have some good contacts within the game and it makes sense of Scally appointing Hess as director of football so keeping James do deal with just the coaching side of things?? It may just work...

99% sure it will not happen though. As again looks like these online betting sites are just taking their leads from rumors on fans sites...

 

Has James ever done any coaching or managing ever?

Still I'd welcome the appointment, as it would be hilarious!

 

I was thinking about this last night and I have to say that he is an intelligent footballer (whenever you look at his interviews/ pundit work) and he has trained at the highest level whilst also having links with plenty of top coaches around the country. It could be a massive mistake, but at the same time it would be incredibly interesting!

 

It would also help improve the clubs profile in the media. Similar to the effect Paolo Di Canio had on Swindon.

 

I think it would be interesting, but he is a brainy guy, good footballer who has played at the highest level, massive risk but everyone is a risk.

 

Him over someone with the full UEFA 'A' licence since 2006??

 

Constantine staying in Cyprus so it would seem so count him out now

 

gavin - how did you find that out? There is nothing on the Salamina website or his own personal website.
