    I should laugh but you will have put 50p on won't you Dave!!!

    I have to say I've backed relegation as a forsee value in the market but I'm really waiting to see the incoming and outgoings et al before backing a bottom half finish.

    He has a reasonable resume for a coach, or possibly even the development squad head coach if he's done really well (which I haven't noticed...)

    Assistant, possibly, at a stretch, but that would be a heck of a promotion.

    Head coach of Bradford City, though?

    Absolutely ridiculous.

    If a chairmen has designs on such a wild move, he should have been laying the foundations months ago, promoting the guy in the media, and highlighting all his successes. That way it wouldn't sound so stupid.

    But they haven't.

    Which, again, tells you it's a silly rumour.

    That would be on a par with Rangers appointment of Steven Gerard!

    McCann seems most likely since he openly has an interest in the role and has done a similar job.

    But I wouldn't waste my money.

    Anyone who lost money on Rosler is a fool.

    He'll be up there again next time. Save your money then too.

    Looks like a clear case of perjury to me.

    He must have stated his case to Edin. He might put him on trial.

    Who ever it is, let’s see what happens.

    Thing is... all these managers that names keep popping up, they haven’t really ever got promotions under there belt like Grayson had.

    I’d say Warburtons a good shout. In my opinion (and what do I know... nothing is the answer) is like warburton to be given a chance.

    Or Grayson with £5million budget


    Edin seems to think ‘shrewbury go to the play off final with a low budget we can’

    It makes it all the extra special when and if we do , like when we got to the league cup final and had only bought Hanson. And had got promoted from league 2 But .... we had experienced pros like Davies, jones, Doyle whatever on decent money


    We’re looking at buying youth and trying to get them sold

    Dont think that was in the same context... He did say he asked the youth coach if x players were good enough, and was met with an open mouthed response and was told he'd never been asked that before. I could be wrong but I presume that was possibly from the old regime.. Drury only got the job 12-18 months ago

    Yeah I would ageee with that, sorry Maybe your right.

    I’m really 5050 on Rahic. I just heard a story about ‘he wasn’t at the game as he was away in germany’ and he was seen getting out of his car the same day (a friend of a friend lives on his street)
    Stuff like that. And that he stormed into the hotel before Yeovil game and told all the players they were rubbish and told Luke Hendrie he was rubbish and go that he was off too Shrewsbury (because they offered him a better deal)
    And it all kicked off and that McMahon had to be pulled back from trying to headbut Rahic (stories man stories I just heard them, people talk crap I know then he said he wasn’t there in the interview) It does seem that he has had influence o the German players brought in who really were not good enough. The two keepers were conference level where they not? If they were any good they would have been kept.

    And that he doesn’t pay goal bonuses if we loose etc..

    It just seems that they bought the club and haven’t really put investment in just cut costs by sacking the kit man, the player laision, the music guy, this that and the other and forced Hanson to leave (ok good shout his time was coming to an end I get it borderline-legend though... and Wykes better) but just

    50/50

    It seems he has good intentions but so far I’m dubious it’s all going to go wrong

    Never know.

    It seems now back to the point of he thread that, he will have a coach who will train and try get the best out of the players and young players which is actually in my
    Opinion a very good thing yes

    And having a young unproven manager is probably a good thing as they will be fully behind proving a point with a clean slate

    Sorry to digress off the point of the thread and spout a lid of rumours (100% rumour just pub talk that I heard)

    **for the record a friend of a friend genuinely does live on his street. And I read somewhere maybe to&a Rahic who will not attend the game oas on business duties in Germany and then told he was at home blah blah that’s true but everything else Is pure horse sh%] some randomers told me after a few beers

    Seems like a nice guy genuinely with good intentions but this isn’t football manager 2018 or FIFA you can’t just turn it off and restart the game. If this genuinely goes wrong the club end up in the north west counties league ground sharing with Campion FC

    Very entertaining post Jay, I must admit, but absolutely full of shit.

    Kudos though, it was almost like a soap scene written out on a messageboard. Caputured the imagination, I’m now trying to decipher who held Tony Mac back from knocking out our owner

    So let me get this straight...

    The under 18 coach who allegedly had a big bust up with Edin which allegedly lead to the under 18 squad being disbanded is now allegedly on Edin's shortlist for the head coach vacancy.

    Really, really, really think some of these ITK bulls******s need to compare notes once in a while.
