Not all football clubs are you’re right but most top clubs the manager calls the shots. We have already tried this approach only a few years back and the managers complained we bought loads of players they didn’t want
That's not the case on the continent. Its the exact approach that Barcelona (as one example) take. Managers are picked on how well they fit into the structure, not on their previous record (look at Luis Enrique's previous record).
We did try it, yes. But it was half-hearted effort and no one really knew what they were doing. If you get it right, it can be amazing.
 
Pearson is a weird one like. No doubting he'd be the best option BUT, he's volatile. KLD has never owned a club, Sartori barely so, maybe they want a safer pair of hands for their first managerial appointment?
Possibly but he also gives them their best chance of getting out of this division and hopefully kick on from there. Ultimately they need that to make any money from us and let's face it, that's the only reason they're here.
 
So are we expecting anything today? Was Prehab’s dancing emoji referring to anything?

Parkinson was sacked almost a week ago now. We were also told by a Roker Report exclusive that the takeover was expected to be completed in a matter of days/end of the week, and that was on Monday.

It just feels never ending. Surely we can expect some sort of announcement. Alan Nixon has been saying “still a couple of issues to sort out” for about a month now ffs.
 
Go and ask the majority of Bristol City fans what they think.

He's had no success at all, any dressing up of his career to date is just bullshit. He talks utter nonsense.
The majority of fans? C'mon, the majority of fans are clueless

with absolutely every respect to @Prehab26 , he's been expecting news every morning this week :D

Absolutely not saying he's making it up, but clearly stuff is happening that is making it not as quick as anyone hoped.

Although if that's because the likes of Pearson are suddenly making their interest known I'd frankly rather wait.

Absolutely however, just to be clear. It doesn't mean I expect imminent announcement through socials. It's because I have to wind of something being sorted and I am happy about it. I won't go into detail as I have far too much respect for the information being passed to me.

Obviously anyone can say that and will probably be pulled up on it but guess it's up to people to trust or not. That's their decision and they can make their own minds up.

Awesome mate. I'm so grateful for your updates and keep the dancing up. I was just wanting to temper other people's expectations that a dancing prehab means news is coming soon - otherwise people are going to get impatient and start throwing nonsense out about you and others making stuff up

You hate someone for managing a football team on a temporary basis? Give yer head a shake man.

I can't help it mate, honestly I've tried not giving a **** about Sunderland. I wish I didn't, my life would be much better. Hate was probably a strong word, but I've never seen a more negative lineup that what he put out against Burton. He had one chance (seeminly now two) to put down a marker, change things up, and really give it a go, and he played for a draw at home to Burton. It's inexcusable.

People can say what they want. That's up to them. It's fine. No dramas here. I understand why some make be very against that type of post. I get it.

To be honest , throughout this, I have found that others do get info too. There is someone who doesn't like the limelight who is incredibly ITK. I am going some of my posting specifically to here too and not on socials and it's rubbing a few people up the wrong way and I sort of understand why.
 
No, and i have never said that either, unsure what your point is.

You do realise Speckman or the TD hasn't been announced yet either? Reiterating my entire point that if a manager is appointed, then surely an announcement on the takeover would be provided also otherwise nothing alligns correctly.

Hard work this.

Okay, l take your point it is a little bit confusing but someone or the board of directors would have to sanction the sacking of Parky, also that somebody or board would have to sanction interviews taking place.
It therefore stands to reason IF the club is being taken over the minority share holder would not be making those decisions in advance of a takeover.

I completely understand your anxiety about no announcement we all would like it shouted from the top of the SOL but we have waited along time some 18 months or more to be were we are, so a bit more patients is required sadly.
