    I'm just devastated really that this is almost certainly the end for Chris Rigg.

    We're losing a generational talent due to rank incompetence.

    Cifuentes now 5/2 favourite, not that it means much.

    Interested to see where we go from here because you'd think whoever is appointed now is someone the club have been speaking to and unless it's Cifuentes or Maric it hasn't leaked.

    Rosenior pulling out obviously could very well be an issue with the club, i'd say that it's very likely in fact, however he pulled out of the Plymouth job because he didn't want to relocate and he commuted to Hull from Derby so it could very well be a geographical issue.

    Phil used to report on City and got a lot of information and very rarely wrong.
    I don't know the ins and outs of your Club but it sounds like your backroom staff need the heave ho.

    Where do you get that from? Rigg seems happy last time I seen him do an interview.

    Mate, it’s absolutely pointless looking at the betting faves.

    we’ve had Still, Maric, Wicky & now Rosenior all big faves for it before drifting out (and some coming back in).

    Bookies must love us.

    Probably but first we will get him from QPR in for an interview offer him the same **** package with the same restrictions, he’ll laugh his cock off and those silly ****ers will be wondering why this keeps going wrong.

    Bought my first season tickets in 20 years, mainly for the bairns. This was always going to happen. Paid in full anarl.

    You and the bairns will still enjoy it mate, we've been a roller coaster club for a lot longer than 120 days or whatever it is.

    Its a crazy but genuine concern. Who wants to be seen as 4th or 5th choice?!?

    Graeme Murty probably buying a new suit as we speak.

    Lots will disagree but Stewart Donald loves the club still, and he failed because he did not have the financial backing needed.
    KLD has the right intentions, building a solid base, but will not use his own money to fund the transfer kitty we need.
    He holds to much faith in KS, who needs to move on.
    Our club is to big a job for KS if he admits it or not.

    Generally love your posts mate but I wont have that. SD stripped the club to the bare bones and pulled in every little bit of cash he could just to keep its head above water. SD only had eyes on a sale and profit.

    I'm sure he is happy, he's been getting opportunities etc but it's already been mentioned he is stalling on a new deal possibly due to the manager appointment delays.

    Any agent would be advising that their client waits to see who is appointed, a disruptive environment is not good for a young player as promising as Rigg, same goes for Dan Neil. We could well end up with Dodds at this rate and that would essentially guarantee a relegation fight in my eyes and I wouldn't blame a single player for wanting out if that happens.

    It’s a little science experiment for the pair of them, we’re far too big of a club to be the test subject.
