Trumpton Tiger, more name changes than Scunthorpe United's last owner. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Like I said on another thread, Thomassen’s a really good coach but wouldn’t come here. He has an opportunity to qualify for the Conference League next season with AIK and I think he’d only give that up for a Championship gig if it was in similar circumstances as Thorup going to Norwich this summer i.e. not in the middle of the Championship season and definitely not in a relegation scrap and he’d only go to a stable Championship club with a normal, pragmatic ownership and football hierarchy and serious ambitions to get top 6, not a chaotic basket case club like City.
Maybe he's on garden leave rather than had his contract terminated. No idea if that means compo though but on garden leave you're technically still employed.
How's Theodore Whitmores managerial career going or Warren Joyce Not that I think we should go for either but some seem to love the idea of an ex player
Surely the compensation Coventry would want would be offset by the fact they’d no longer have to pay Robins a wage?
I think for garden leave to be an option it would have to have been written into the original employment contract. Don’t know if this is a normal clause in Football Manager contracts though.
Me neither. I remember Phil Brown was on garden leave when we brought Dowie in and I think Graham Potter is from Chelsea too. No idea if it’s normal practice though, just a guess.
It’s normal practice when clubs want to spread out the payment for the rest of the contract. It wouldn’t surprise if Tim is on gardening leave given he has 2.5 years left
Apparently Coventry City’s underperformance this season coincided with Mark Robins falling out with his assistant in the summer. Therefore we wouldn’t be inheriting the management team that has over performed at Coventry for the previous two seasons. And given Steve Coopers performance this season, I’m not over excited about him as a prospect either.
Cooper's done quite well this season, Leicester had a shocking squad coming up with PSR pressures and he was sacked with them outside the bottom 3. Ironically though he was sacked because the performances weren't great (in terms of attacking intent) and his previous links to Forest, rather than actual results. So doesn't seem an Acun type of hiring (despite us talking to him in the Summer).
Methinks he thinks we could be Reliant on a Mini barrel maker or a German cordwainer to drive our team forward ?
