The new manager thread.

[DRS]

And what would you do different

[Batch]

So Swindon are off to Portugal next week. Hopefully a permanent replacement and backroom staff are appointed by then.

 

Pick me Jed, pick me. I need a holiday.

It was also probable 6 wks ago that the current lot were apparanty crooks and had no money,that was proved wrong.

Was it? How? When? All I've seen is confirmation that at least one of the guys they got in who did have money (Hall) pretty much was a crook. Nothing that proves they have a proverbial pot. And as manc_red says, their desperation to get folk like Hall in rather suggests they don't. Or that they're a bit shady themselves. Desperate or bent, neither looks terribly encouraging

[Flashheart]

For fuck's sake.

All was positive after the business plan presentation yet after the manager resigns, whom was not even rated by many, they board are now a bunch of crooks again?

Reaction... knee and jerk. Arrange these three words into a well known phrase.

[Bob's Orange]

Lets get Stefan Freund in.

[kerry red]

I don't think they are desperate and/or bent.

What they are is clueless as to the setting up and running of a professional football club.

They may well learn in time - the question is where will we be by then

[Power to people]

I do not believe that KMac had no say on the players brought in although within that I do believe that some players were brought in for him, I believe that he was consulted on who he wanted to try and bring in from spurs and it was left to power to do the wheeling and dealing.

I would like a statement from KMac perhaps through the LMA to clarify his reasons.

[kerry red]

I posted before that we all knew who was coming into the club for a few weeks - re the Spurs contingent.

So why did KMac wait until, probably, the worst possible time to do a runner?

I think it has little to do with player recruitment

[SuggWillSugg MBE]

Lets get Stefan Freund in.

I would cry with happiness if that would happen. We named our futsal team after him.

If someone makes a point that the board have money, which is **good** news, is it not OK to ask what we missed that showed they do?

I was under the impression they showed accounts at the meeting with the trust

Not even close to the point Batch. The meltdown was occurring before Dean said a thing.

Oh OK, ta. Will try and look around the Trust site later.

We can argue about everything else, but this is hardly the worst possible time to do a runner.

That'd be just before the January window closes so we have to scrabble about for whatever transfers or loans come our way. I can't imagine anyone who'd be so self-obesessed they'd do that though, leaving us in the lurch.

[Cibocchi_Is_God]

I'm slightly skeptical as to the reasons of KMac resigning, but there is no concrete evidence to say it's the fault of the board, their transfer policy or whatever. On that basis I'm reserving judgement until the real reasons KMac decided to resign come out. The fickleness of some astounds me, the same people who were praising the board last week and abusing KMac a few months back are now the ones who are panicking.
