Unlikely to be an outside appointment  given the money situation, unless King or Iffy are brought back although even that wouldn't suprise me now.

it'll be Tuttle.

SINGIN I I IFFY IFFY I!!! :wink:

Sandy Gray on the basis she must be good at something

Can you add a "don't give a shit" option.  I really feel like that at the moment.  Monday morning and this happens - for fuuuuuuuuuucks saaaaaaaaake!!!

You'll have to speak nicely to Sonic. I know how you feel, just woken up came downstairs and heard on the radio that they are in talks. :x

Piss Macclesfield off and get Incey in.

at the moment i couldn't give 2 fucks.

i'm fucked off with the way our club has been run over the past 5 years.
time the board fucked off.

apart from results everythings just shit at the moment

If they go, which I dont think they will, then Tuttle will probably go as well......
Can see us getting an unknown in to take over at a low cost, maybe even finally get Shaun Taylor down if we are lucky?
 
If not him I dont think the board would be as stupid as previously to get King or Iffy back as as much as they seem to be able to ruin this club week in week out they dont do it intentionally, they are just thick!

I vote they wont go, Wise will take the extra contract, I think wise is more loyal than we give him credit for in all these hasty rumours......
Remember that Wise said previously he wouldnt want to work with Bates cause of family ties.....the godfather stuff....

I hope this is all just hear say or that Leeds want them, have requested to discuss things with them but that Wise and Poyet have no intention of leaving til this season is done.....

I'll still sit here, optimistic as ever..........but noticably nervous and concerned until Wise either shows himself as a money grabbing shiester or a loyal, get the job done professional......everyone knows he could make us finish 8th and not go up this year and they'd still get snapped up by Championship or Premier League side next season, so why rush off now......only reason would be if they desperately see Leeds as their ideal team to manage.....which I dont think they do personally.

macc have called a press conference for 3pm today, so we're probably just slightly too late.

bugger.

Out of those listed, i would have King back.

In reality, i have no idea who it will be.

That would be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad anyway, Macc can keep him as far as I'm concerned.

I'm so pissed off, I really don't care who comes (back) in....anything is going to be an immense drop in standards and demonstrate the lack of vision and ambition running through the entire board structure.

100% sure it'll be Tuttle with someone like Williams as his assistant. Although I'm not sure whether I want that.

Kingy is coming back,

Glenn Hoddle would be nice, if only for the memories.

Least we'd play decent football.

I liked his views on disabled people too

tuttle sounds a good shout, unless he goes with wise, and so does david lee, wouldn't be shocked! they were all bought in by wise.

Iffy onoura will be on the boards mind, but seton wills wasn't a fan of iffy was he in the first place?

He could never actually be proven wrong about that, well not til we die anyway.

what about Sturrock. He got harshly treated at Sheff Wednesday. He done a very good job at Argyle.

sturrock wouldn't come here and i doubt the board would push the boat out to bring in someone of his ilk.

face it, it's going to be an internal appointment..which at least means it won't be that utter cunt mcghee

David Tuttle .. who isnt an option is a certainty to take over as he was bloody diabolical at Millwall so is a must for Mike D and the crew

Id like to see Chalkie White if we have to have a new boss

We could get Sven Goran Eriksson for nothing.  If he comes here for no pay then the FA will still be paying him his England wage... :soapy tit wank:

Are the Beastie boys taking over? Get in!

:mrgreen:

Maybe my mate Paul Trollope .. first team coach at Bristol Rovers would be a good option .. at least id get complimentary tickets !

Tuttle was abysmal in the Championship with Millwall - But I can't see it being anyone else to be honest.

If Tuttle followed Wise - Which could happen... I honestly couldn't guess who'd take over.

If we do appoint a former player like the usual mentioned names - Steve White, Paul Bodin, Shaun Taylor et al then Wise has given them a very good head start.

sturrock is a great shout but probably out of our league.

Yeah he's doing a great job at Rovers  :roll:

There are a couple of Rovers fans at work and they really don't rate him, no balls. Reckon their strikers are underperforming and he is too scared to drop them.

No thanks, would rather have big ron.

Thats a good shout - But Wise and Poyet won't leave, so it's a pointless poll  8)

Gus to stay?  A la Johnny G when Glenn left?

Id love it to be King that would be the best thing ever.

I want Teddy Sherigham.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Do you think the 6 months or so he's spent at Pompey will have better prepared Tony Adams to have another crack at management?

Cheap option again


Tuttle,King,Reeves, Onoura

I won't be a former manager... It doesn't make any sense - the boo-boys will go fucking mental if they brought back Andy King or his pupils.

It also won't be anyone who's currently employed elsewhere.

whoever is cheapest....It WILL be tuttle, unless he goes with Wise...in that case it probably be Adie Williams

No, no, no!!!  Adams would be a huge mistake.  The bloke has issues.

   Martin Ling, must be just about to be sacked by Orient....he knows this league.....would be popular with the fans.

I mentioned it on another thread... Shame Orient got a result on saturday.

It mightn't be the best outcome but I genuinely believe that Williams could be  a decent manager, and for me has been a phenomenal signing in terms of defensive organisation this season.  It wouldn't be ideal, but we could do a lot worse.

I’d have thought Tuttle will be the preferred choice with Lee and/or Williams stepping up into the assistant and coaching roles.  

As with Iffy & Woan I wouldn’t expect to see replacements for either’s position, which will save a few quid.

Mixu Paatelainen  :soapy tit wank:

IF Wise and Poyet did go (I still don't think they will  :wink: ) I think Tuttle would be a good aqusition as he'd know what training regime to use, in terms of gettin the players fit and ready, because he would have learnt off the likes of Poyet and Wise.
Williams would also make a good appointment, like others have said.

  Tuttle would be a disaster......I carried on going when Ken Beamish was appointed in similar circumstances, (ie cheap internal no hoper) and gates were soon down to sub 2000.....even then I had an optimism that we'd rise like a phoenix and so it proved.

  If its Tuttle, then I'm not sure I could find the enthusiasm any longer. :(

John Gorman anyone?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

He resigned from Cowdenbeath to join another club which could be in his home land of Finland. So No.

actually having said that .. John is a lovely top bloke .. and if he did take over Id support him fully -- as i did before .. always thought it was a harsh sacking

Ossie Ardiles is available too

Hopefully it won't be Iffy, as hes not up to the job imo

Twas merely tongue and cheek.

God Forbid! I just had a bad thought .. BIG RON MANAGER!!! :shock:

So it was.

As Reg has mentioned in another post, it's a pivitol moment.

The Board seem to have 2 options in front of them:

a) continue with their agressive stance about an overspend and determine that the club should only spend the min it can when appointing a replacement - so from within or cheap option externally.

This ensures they remain publicly at one with their own statements over the past 2 months.  It probably creates a greater risk on league position and fans reaction.

b) appoint a decent Manager but fly in the face of their concerns over the overspend - and by doing so make a very public U turn that suggests Devlin was right to commit the club to being professional as Wise wanted.

This ensures the fans stay onside and less risk to our league position.  It does though bring a serious question to the fore over their position at the club - to hire an expensive option suggests Devlin was merely doing what they would, and it would make all their mud slinging look very dodgy - not to mention opening them up completely to legal action from Devlin.

It is indeed pivotal .. I for one will be calling for the boards head at all occasions if a top class manager isnt brought in . I sat back before when the cheap options were taken and im not doing it again .

iffy would be the cheap and best option imo

reg's suggestion of ling would be ideal but unfortunately extremely fanciful

glen hoddle

we need to face reality that we are stuck in the forth division.  We were very lucky to have wise.  It will be from within the club!!!!!

I want Spacey as our next manager.

paul sturrock

Anyone but Iffy, please God.

It would be sensible to go with our longest serving player.

Who Nicho?

I was thinking that.

Yep

Seems fair, Nicho it is then.

Just need to get rid of wise now.

first person to suggest macari gets banned

Paul Merson  :beers:

Go on Fatbury say it ! I dare you !

ABK  8)

i've already banned him once today 8)

Tommy Mooney will be next manager

How about we get Ruddock back?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Then he can leave after about 4 weeks.....then get Todd back.... :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Then when we have been through 3 different mangers, we can have Iffy back for christmas and all look forward to more League 2 football next year!  :beers:

Wise wont go, wasnt going to go and I dont beleive this will do anyone anything but good to get some press coverage....make of that what you will but I think I smell some propoganda.....or marijuana i'm not quite sure?!?! :\/

Lou Macari!


 I need to do more work so it would be a blessing

Berti Vogts!

+ he would play all the youth team
- we would get beat 5-0

What odds you offering? :)

Please No.

Yes but why?? Surely as this is a fans forum you cant expect to agree with everyone? And how come STFCBart didnt get banned b4 me!  :soapy tit wank:

a) he doesnt put a Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick after every post
b) he doesnt make up Gay nicknames for our players

I wouldnt offer odds on a horse with only three legs, but needless to say if its the only one racing it'll still win! (my point being our board are less than perfect but i'd still never back them with a wager no matter how sure I was!)

If they really wanted him they'd have had him at the first attempt, but we're not even considering that Wise and Poyet may not want to go there themselves, so even if the board accepted an offer for them to talk again with Wise and Poyet they may still say no themselves personally.....which for what its worth I think Wise would say no and stay put as its better for his career!

He'll be around long enough in the management game to be there the next time Leeds need a new manager, if he does want that particular job that bad!!

:cry:

I think you have indeed  been on the Mary Jane if you really believe that. If Wise didn't want it he would have said no and that would have been that. It wouldn't have got as far as PR from both sides stating ongioing discussions, etc, etc.

I think we may still be pleasantly suprised.....did Wise not say before he wouldnt work with Bates cause of the family connection???

what family connection?

....in which case why has the situation got anywhere near where we are at now?

All Wise would have to say is that he does not want to go and this would have been nipped in the bud. It wasn't, so you have to assume that it is a move that he wants.

Nail on head. If Wise wasn't interested why would the clubs bother discussing compensation?

Assumption made an ass out of u and mption!

The way I understand it works is that the club (leeds) have to ask the other club (swindon) permission to talk to the management (Dennis and Gus) and then it is there chance to offer them a contract and if they want they can still decline it......

Our board cant be seen to simply be saying NO becuase in the contract it says we have to say yes as long as we get sufficient compensation....so as soon as they say they want to talk to dennis and gus we are automatically going to be in the spotlight for saying yes subject to compensation agreement......doesnt mean that wise and poyet WANT to manage Leeds does it!

And Dennis doesnt have to come out to us, the leeds fans or anyone and say I dont want the job.....he's a head down and focus manager so I'm sure if and when the time comes that he is offered a contract (if he is allowed to discuss it with Leeds) then he will give a yes or no answer then and only then!

He has said repeatedly that he wants to get on with the football, so thats when i will judge him......WHEN HE makes a decision or statement about his future.....at present though, if I was Dennis I wouldnt want to add fuel to the fire either, I'd want to keep my options open!

......full circle back to my main point - if he wants the move, he has come here and said one thing and then done another.

It's not the fact the he's going that I mind, nor even the fact that he might be pi$$ed off with the board - it's the fact that he stated that he wants to work his way up from the bottom and then goes to a team two divisions higher. I genuinely would not mind if he went to another League Two team, as that would still mean that his arrival comments were true and not a load of bull.

its called spin ... im sure he meant it ...  but lets be realistic Leeds ARE a bigger club ..

HE HAS NOT FUCKING GONE YET!!!!!
for fuck sake, it'll piss us all off if he goes but for fuck sake until he is declared as leaving he is still OUR manager!
No wonder our club is so fucked up with fans that jump on every band wagon and assume everything is as bad as it can ever get because we have had a lot of bad luck in the past!

Get over it, he may leave he may not......but until we know either way from HIM then shut it!

Sorry bad day but I had to let it out!

Point taken, I'm jumping the gun a little - suppose we are talking about after the event already but nothing has happened as yet.

If there is a stalemate and they both resign, what position does that put us in then - does that mean we'd get no compensation at all?

..having said that, the only point that I was making is what would happen IF this Leeds deal went through and IF it does, then the comments that I have made would not change.

..having said that, the only point that I was making is what would happen IF this Leeds deal went through and IF it does, then the comments that I have made would not change.

I think you'll find they are under contract and they would have to buy out of their contract which would cost them three times more than we'd have to ask Leeds for!

So its simply not going to happen that they resign

Ian Culverhouse for me.  :P

Anyone but Iffy.

I'm with you Sissy.

I doubt Wise and Poyet are even anywhere near Leeds today.

Just to back up my post

Except he cancelled that appointment so it means jack either way.

and it appears a financial agreement has now been reached according to Leeds website .. and ive heard Dennis and Gus have been in Leeds all day - expect a press conference tomorrow

Since when has Chalkie been a top class manager?

well Chippenham have been awful since he left .. plus hes a top class Swindon legend .. i think he might just do a good job .. hes very passionate about us still u know

Passion on its own means nothing. Stuart Pearce has passion but man city are still shite.

i demand know how.

yeah but im not sure we can afford know how .. so maybe passion is the way ahead

Long live the  :king:

I refer you again to this post:



If we can't afford 'know how' then how on earth are we going to afford 'top class'? The two aren't mutually exclusive, they go hand in hand.

You're just making excuses because you know you're not going to bother coming back next season.

well thats too far ahead ... ive often said i wont come back ... but funny enought i always do .. for 27 years so far!

this stuff about we cant afford certain names

could be a little of because we did offer wise more on his curent deal which isnt half bad so in theory we could offer this to another head

Shaun Taylor? Where is he at the moment?

still assistant manager in non league isnt he? Cant remember what team it was though?!!

I guess the the "improved deal" we offered probably amounted to an extra £20 a month with some of the clauses removed so we could get more compensation if someone really wanted Wise and Poyet.

Isn't Shaun Taylor at Forrest Green?

He WAS assistant at Forest Green but was sacked about a month ago.

hmmmm.......doesnt bode well for his qualities then!!
shame as for such a town legend he would be a good figurehead for the public to get behind the team again i think

Probably be okay as a coach, guess he did okay at City, but no chance as manager.

Lets not forget the one big problem - Devlin, the only guy who knows anything about football (by everyones admission on the Board) is currently on long term sick leave with every likelihood of not returning as they have no confidence in him.

Who the fuck is going to be in charge of the recruitment process?

Sandy Gray

Guys it will  be the cheap option.

The £700k saved in wages and compo will go on the overspend- the overspend that goes directly into Dunwoody sports

proof????
