There is no takeover, you honestly think he's been looking for buyers for a few months and not 1 person in the press has picked up on it
Well you have heard it supposedly from a agent, if a agent is telling people then someone in the press will have heard something
How do we know they're not being thorough? How do we know what the reason is for not appointing a manager yet? From what snippets we have been given, it is reasonable to suggest that Still was always first choice. If the sending of the contract is to be believed, he must have agreed to join us at that point. Lens then came in and screwed that plan up. So, we moved on to other targets. Still must have been happy enough with the original deal, including working with Speakman, if he'd asked for a contract to be drafted and sent to him. Since then we've been swamped with Journos giving us names like Challinor and Robinson, which we squashed. Jansen was then dismissed. There have been numerous reports of more than one stage of interviews being carried out. That tells me that we are weighing up all of the potential candidates and whittling the list down. We could have chosen Heckinbottom months ago if we didn't want to be thorough. We clearly didn't fancy him and have targets which suit the club and where it wants to go. Our Chairman has just announced that they are ambitious and I'm more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. People need to cast their minds back to when Short lost interest and Dumb and Dumber were making more cuts than the Tories, to realise what a much better place the club is at now.
Little bit different that. Everyone knows we need a manager so there’s no publicity needed. But if the club is for sale that needs communicated to the right circles on a fairly wide scale - you expect that to come across at least one person desk and for them to mention it to others and eventually hit the media!
Reading through most of the comments and it is a washing machine of stuff getting turned over and over. My take on it is this. If it is Rosenior (looks most likely at the minute) then he will get my full backing (even though I will admit to being slightly underwhelmed). His supposed possession based style is fine as long as the possession has purpose and we either play possession with a high press or with quick transition to attack (man city like) and not possession for the sake of it (Swansea from a few year ago). I am not a fan of 2 holding midfielders but we seem to have favoured that formation this season and it really never worked for us ( I believe that Rosenior favours this set up which is basically what is taught at St George's for up and coming managers on their visits their and is the preferred system of Southgate and the FA) and I think this is why I have reservations on this approach. We wait to see who will be our next HC and I hope for the sake of the club that whoever it is can develop themselves as they develop the club and hopefully learn to understand the passion of the supporters and the need tap into that to gain success. We are not a fan base that is easily swayed by nice words which are not genuine and TBH MB always seemed like his heart was not in it and the fans picked up on that straight away.
Yeah everything seems to be spun negatively at the minute, adding in Dan Neil's contract to the mix. Just hope the rumours of a sale aren't true, think he is starting to build something here and be a shame to change that with a new owner so soon. I hope you carry one posting what you can, as with others. One of the reasons I signed up here from rtg was to follow the Dell takeover updates, I just ended up staying
Could this be the source of the rumours. KLD wanting to sort out shares at the club, I.e JS shares. LP taking a look. Agent hears bits and pieces and then the story is that KLD is selling. No way I see KLD going, he's getting a lot sorted behind the scenes
