    And unlikely to meet the criteria for a work permit under the post Brexit regulations.

    Had the likes of Bielsa and Solksjaer not already been working in the UK pre Brexit, they wouldn't now have been eligible for a work permitunder the new rules.

    Agree totally with this and it would explain why the incoming manager would have been able to have input into the retained list - but to throw a spanner in the works I have been told not to bank on it being Wellans! I hope we will all be clearer tomorrow

    If it is Adam's, it goes against Spark's version of long-termism. Adam's is quoted as saying a manager should stay at a club no longer than three years.

    3 years is way more than long-termism for us mate!!

    After three years City fans begin wondering if the gaffer has been installed for life.

    Funnily enough I have never thought it would be Wellens, we shall see in the coming days I suppose.

    I think a manager faced with the play offs and fighting for promotion for his current employer should be concentrating solely on that. It’s what we would expect from our incumbent

    Bielsa got one for showing exceptional talent and a letter of endorsement from Pochetino.

    Im pretty sure he is big enough to multi task and spend a couple of hours in his week discussing our retained list and transfer targets. Only takes one meeting then the go ahead. I mean he could probably do it after his tea. 7-9pm when Morecombe dont need him.

    Not saying its happening, but it is entirely possible. If Adams is the man he has probably already negotiated his deal to move here.

    That's very true. Bielsa received a work permit as a non-EU citizen under the old, pre-Brexit rules. The new rules were introduced by the Home Office with the FA for a post-Brexit world to limit freedom of movement for EU citizens. At the same time, the new tighter rules were also applied to non-EU citizens. They now require a lot more than a ringing endorsement from a fellow manager. It's now a points based system based on the status of the manager's current club, his role and his length of stay there.

    No issue with it personally. If it means only the best qualify through exceptional criteria then so be it.

    I think you'll be disappointed. Sparks saying he doubts we'll have any news this week. Sounds less than nailed-on to me.

    Yes. Looking at it again, I think you're correct. I misread it.

    Holy sugar cubes, that might be the most annoying interview I've ever read.

    Anyone want to count the number of times Ryan Sparks says I or me or my?

    It's a football club, not the Ryan Sparks show, Jesus wept.

    First time I've thought this guy might be in way over his head if his focus is purely on the job he personally is doing instead of the actual performance of the club.

    Bad, bad, bad.

    Because the club is stuck in the past like the rest of the city. Those running the club, like those running the city have no ambition. Just like our happy clapper fans and their sad obsession in bring back ex players back to manage us.

    ps, i voted on "other"
