New Head Coach

Did ok at Shields. What have you heard?

how many head coaches in the championship had never managed there before taking their current appointment, do you know? Genuine enquiry, not looking for an argument.

 

Has scout confirmed the 3 names?

 

Not confirmed the names mate

Cifuentes is the name I've been told is close to signing

Now im not getting ahead of myself at all with it for 2 reasons:
- we were close to still n it was all agreed but fell down at the last minute
- surely if it is Cifuentes, i would have thought it would have been leaked at the QPR end

I was told monday (just gone) was a key day and then got told the talks were really positive and it was looking good

We will see what happens, just want it sorted now

Hope we bring him in just for that hashtag.

 

Similar. I was born in Hertford where my dad had been stationed in the police. He met my mum, who was from there and got her up the duff. They got married and I was born, in that order. Anyway, mum had post natal depression so it was decided I would go and live with my grandparents in Sunderland until mum got better and I’d go back to Hertford. Didn’t quite work out like that. Thirteen years later I went back to my mum and dad who had moved to Sunderland shortly after I did (that’s another story in itself). Had things gone according to plan I’d most likely be a dyed in the wool Man U supporter calling Hertford my home town by now, if I followed football at all, as my dad wasn’t interested in the game. It was my grandad who got me addicted ( the daft bugger).

 

QPR are in the same boat as us as in they want someone in for the start of preseason. Any fee they’ve quoted is the starting point for negotiations and can only come down from there. It’s who blinks first, they’ll want it done, either stays or goes, as soon as possible so they can start their own recruitment process.
Will they want to risk a tribunal? As there’s no guarantees they’ll get what they want so do they lower their expectations and get it done with?
A lot will depend on Cifuentes, if his head has been turned do they really want to keep him?

if it is Cifuentes then my guess is we’ll agree a fee with them and it’ll be done.

 

I just hope if it is done, it's done soon, already losing my mind at how long it is taking haha

 

He might be tedious but unfortunately he is 100% accurate whether people like it or not.

 

We shall see

 

Quite right, we need people like this to keep us informed ...

... otherwise we may not have noticed we don't have a manager, or even be able to count.

Perhaps Methven was right and we're all thick, you included.

How he missed out in the latest King's birthday honours list is hard to comprehend.

 

Is he related to the speaking clock ?

 

Dunno but I've heard he likes a bong

 

Not so much illuminating, more lighting up then ?

 

Your the 2nd person to say that in the last hour, I'm trying to find out if it's true

 

Well, well, well. There could be light at the end of the tunnel

 

I resemble those remarks

 

IF it is Marti and the reason for time it’s taken is because it wasn’t easy to pull off then I think the vast majority of fans will be okay with that (my self included). I really hope this comes off.

 

Cifuentes would be a cracking appointment imo

 

@Prehab26 liking this post too. I am begging haha

 

Maybe there's some legal wrinkle, but I'd have thought if we wanted rid due to incompetence we'd sack him rather than demean him by shifting him to the under 21s.
