Most liked posts in thread: T&S..... sacked

I was more talking about someone who is looking to make the step up (like T&S did), but could be put off by what's happened, and prefers to sit in their current job until a better offer comes along.
Anyway - my whole point was, that I think its pretty disorganised behind the scenes, and hopefully RS can slow down a bit and make wise decisions rather than rash ones. Looking at what he did today, I feel he's now the former rather than the latter. Next step - correct gaffer in the hotseat!

 

True but it didn't come over like that on the commentary as I recall, though I had lost quite a bit of interest by then. There have been a number of indications that all wasn't well behind the scenes though, going back a couple of months.

 

You seriously asking that question?

It's job done and on to the next challenge. Plus if it is Adams then hes already agreed, so it doesn't matter

 

You've always been consistent on this Dave. I wasn't. Got carried away by T&S's early run and said they should get a longer contract. I was wrong.

 

Neil Ardley with Abbot as assistant. That would piss on a few chips

 

What about Neil Lennon and Derek McInnes are both free

 

Stop it!

 

Who knows?

 

McInnes used to clean Stuart’s boots at Rangers I think. I like him, he’s a gritty character (he looks the part of a down-beaten, takes no shit Scottish alcoholic detective working the streets of Glasgow for an ITV drama) but Aberdeen’s forward line has been about as potent as ours this season.

As for Lennon. I’ve never forgiven him for sitting on the ball in front of the City fans away at Leicester that time. It was literally right in front of us. Saying that I don’t think he’s deserved some of the shit he gets and behind the bravado is probably a decent lad. But it’s a no from me.

 

OMG Faithful - a bit of money coming in this Summer? What do you know? Give us all some hope?

 

If Sparks' barometer is assessing the 'mood of the fans' we'll have a new coach every six months!

But let me reiterate what I said earlier - yes, I would feel Sparks has stabbed me in the back, just as he did with Stuart (although Stuart may not have felt the same way given the circumstances), but that's only because of Ryan Sparks' poor handling and management of the situation.

None of the ill feeling needs to be there.

The ill feeling Sellars supposedly feels is a result of the 18 month extension which should ALWAYS have been six. Sparks has got the contracts all wrong on two separate occasions, and that has nothing to do with whether or not it was right to replace T&S.

 

I can't find any so its either a done deal our I'm rubbish trying to find betting odds, probably the later.

 

100%.

Nobody on here can say Sellars should feel he's had a fair hearing given he was afforded 18 months in which to mount a promotion bid, NOT six.

 

I don't KNOW anything, sorry. A bit of heresay, but nothing I'd bank on, so to speak.

 

That's disappointing to hear, he did a decent job and should have been treated with respect - but I'd be absolutely stunned if he was next season anyway. He was a loan for T&S, T&S have gone, blank slate for the incoming gaffer, so unless he wants someone in the exact same mould as the aging journeyman target man that is Andy Cook, he's gone for good.

Only way he was staying was if we stuck with the same management IMHO.

 

Dunno if he'd be my choice, but this talk of waiting for the managers situation to change before naming might not necessarily mean he's managing a play off side... Kenny Jackett from the looks of the Pompey forum had a 60 day clause after termination to not take another job. He was sacked 57 days ago. He had an illness before his sacking to the pont he stepped away briefly. Might not be up for a move up north either, just saying certain managers might not be available yet if they had any clauses.

Never know, Salford might have had something in Wellens' deal to say he can't managing in the same division until end of the season.

 

Do you think it's a viable option that Trueman could be given the assistant managers job? Certainly would help out the new manager in terms of players and the working of the club (NOT TACTICS) and get up to speed nice and quick. Personally, I can't see him, or Sellars going back to the youth team.

 

Am guessing it will be noel hunt as assistant

 

.....time for "the golden one" to return aka big Phil

 

If only.

"Not tempted" was the line a few months ago.

Besides, it would be a classic Bradford City 180 in terms of stylistics - so right now, it would be the wrong appointment IMHO.
