Peter Reid was free. So was Alex Neil. And Roy Keane. Mick McCarthy was free. We paid actual money for Simon Grayson though
People make **** up of course and aren’t always fair but it feels like time has come for a change and that’s either someone who dilutes his power and poor listening skills/ judgement or just a different/better/more flexible/less arrogant version. If the truth is being spoken (not sure if it all is) word has hit football. Don’t end on a bad note or people stick the knife in.
Sounds like complete guesswork by whoever has told you that. Bizarre that Lee Johnson, Alex Neil, Tony Mowbray AND Micky Beale all joined the club despite these so-called stipulations... Even if it was the case that Jansen said no (or we said no to him) then that's probably a good thing - we saw in the Short era how much upheaval is brought about when a Manager brings in a cast of thousands only to leave a few months later.
Unless word has travelled. Mowbray is well known and well liked, Neil will have said his piece, probably even Beale, plus plenty of commentators. Someone from Burnley FC said to me he’d heard Speakman was the problem. It’s not good for us. He may well be better than his reputation, but mud sticks and they really needed to act on it in some way.
Oh yeah, I'm beginning to come round to that way of thinking. The post you quoted there was about Bob saying that a prospective candidate wanted to bring his own DoF with him though.
I have no idea if it’s true but it’s a conclusion I’d already came to without anything concrete. Everyone’s entitled to make their own assumptions from what little evidence is available but I’m inclined to believe the likes of SSN over a randomer. When you’re hearing talk of the same issues regarding staff from different sources all singing off the same hymn sheet, which is looking like what a lot of us were expecting anyway, there’s not really much else you can think.
I got this off a good m8 by WhatsApp this morning, exactly the same story. I asked him who told him, he said he got it off a lad in NI, who it turns out got it off a lad from pallion who no doubt got it from etc etc. a lot of these rumours just grow legs not criticising u wicksy just saying, unless, like I said to my mate, the fella who originally said it was either Jansen or his representative, who I very much doubt is chatting to a taxi driver from pallion, then it’s probably not completely kosher.
I’m starting to think there’s a few mags sneaked onto this forum. Going back many years we had a box at Middlesbrough and even though I was a Sunderland supporter I would go as the nosh was first class, if it was today I would probably be writing s hit on their forum as though I was a ITK smoggie.
