Like watching pre Grand National betting then.
Perhaps Manning as first team coach and Colin as DoF?

New managerial appointment at Cardiff. Not the one we're waiting for although a fitness coach with his background and track record should be useful.
A prior Whitehead connection as well. Does that suggest anything?

Wasn't the Palace game the infamous "ghost goal" game where they scored a perfectly good goal but as it rebounded off the back stanchion and bounced out it wasn't awarded and all your players decided that "sportsmanship" didn't have any part to play in football???Apparently Warnock loves us - no jealousy please

Don't know where you're getting that from unless it's the connections between him, Whitehead and Northeast.
He's still the manager at Besiktas as far as I know and not currenty even in the betting.
Must say though, I do like the bloke - someone who can kick ass and plays the modern game.
His contract ends this summer.
Warnock to save us and leave in the summer.
2/3rds of Ismael's team already here. He joins them.
Not sure where that leaves Manning?
Someone's putting 2 and 2 together and getting 25............
Pretty tenuous connections but a possibility - that would explain why he's not even in the betting for NEXT permanent manager.

As far as our next manager is concerned, it's the usual nonsense of journalists and others pretending to be in the know.

Simples!!!
I like tenuous. Why not? The easy appointments have not worked, have they?
I'm certainly not in the know Clingo but you must admit it's a good yarn to weave.
A bit of speculation can't hurt. Ask Sparkey.
However the bloke who sits behind me in the Ninian Stand seems to know everything (which rarely turns out) so, if nothing confirmed by then, I will get his take and report back.
The best sources for those in the know are actually the bookies - they know a lot more than we do otherwise they wouldn't be in business.
They rarely offer decent odds for likely appointees so you should follow the betting movements for the eventual winner.

Sort of - you are 85% correct.Wasn't the Palace game the infamous "ghost goal" game where they scored a perfectly good goal but as it rebounded off the back stanchion and bounced out it wasn't awarded and all your players decided that "sportsmanship" didn't have any part to play in football???
Freddie Sears ‘scored’ - the ball entered the goal, hit the back strut, and rebounded out into play.
the referee blew his whistle.
Everyone thought it was a goal - all fans, all players, both managers - but the referee and his assistant had other ideas.
Nobody ever found out why the goal wasn’t given. The ref awarded a free kick to us in the box (I think - NOT a goal kick) so presumably he saw a foul take place before the ‘goal’ went in (??) If he mistook the incident for the ball missing the goal completely and hitting something behind the goal then he would have awarded a goal kick (maybe it was a GK - I can’t remember to be honest and some reports say it was) Equally, if he thought it had hit the post he would have waved play-on.
Our players started trudging back to their starting positions when the free kick was given. Their body language and reaction showed that they thought we had conceded.

Of course, when a free kick was awarded we played on gratefully. Who wouldn’t?
We got LOADS of stick from the Palarse fans (and fans of other clubs who traditionally don’t like us) about ‘cheating’ but it was the referee’s decision, not cheating by anyone.
The referee’s match report remains confidential to this day. Neither us nor Palarse could access it, so we will never know why the free kick was given instead of the goal. Only the ref, the Lino and their employers know.

Ismael is out of work and available.
Sacked by Besitkas last year.
Not saying he will be our next manager though.

Well, them and the kitman who handed over the brown envelope with the reddies in of course
Had vague recollections of the game though... Thanks for the details
I stand corrected Hilts. Left Besiktas October 2022. Wikipedia not up to date.
Having dug deeper there is a downside to Ismael. He doesn't hold down jobs for long. Average 12 months.
Not what we want or need.
What makes you think he'd last 12 months with us?I stand corrected Hilts. Left Besiktas October 2022. Wikipedia not up to date.
