Thetownend.com

This has been banded about by a few people, and through rumours i have had heard as well.

Still no worries- Andy King is out of work still....

Seriously guys if it happens are you gonna stand aside and take all this shit

fuck off, please

No I wont!

What would you do DV.

Would you stay at a club where you had it dictated to by people way less experienced than yourself who was signed, or would you go somewhere that you could be your own man without interference.

For gods sake get real. I truly hope to god i am wrong on this one- but i have heard this from several sources inside and outside the club

nor me.but i dont think he will go,not that soon anyway.

....and do you have any proof to back up what you've just said at all?

We've heard so many things from so many people with so many different sources - I generally ignore it all.

My sources told me the World is going to end on Friday.

I bet you ten billion pounds it doesn't

 :shock: REALLY?

I'm going to have a shit within 24 hrs.  

Hopefully in a toilet unlike other forum members more at one with urban nature.

Hypothetically if he went then I'd demonstrate loudly and then go back to watching the club. Over the last 30 odd years I've stopped going three times. First of all when my kids were born and I couldn't afford it. Secondly the latter days of the Scouse bastard and thirdly the latter days of the raving nutcase that was King.
Sturrock leaving would not be enough to stop me going. Pumping the team full of foreigners you're looking to see would stop me as would moving us out of Swindon.

i dont understand why everyone is panicking about him leaving. none of us no what is going on so why predict and get in fanny flap

   Down the years I've had personal reasons for not going to every game,  but  I've never considered not going when I've been easily able to.....this is different though.

   For me Sturrock quitting  or being  forced out would signal that the club as something that represents the community, which despite all its faults, is what its always been for my 40+ years would be finished.  I couldn't watch a monster who's sole raison d'etre is to line the pockets of agents.

  I'd still do all I could to try and undermine that regime......

   I think we'll know  by the deadline, if Sturrock gets a couple of players he wants then , how this wil play out.

  I'm not optimistic he'll get anything he wants.

 We have plenty of previous that proper managers don't tend to hang about for long being messed about by our Board......T*dd.....Evans.....Wise....

  Those that stay are the desperate like King and Iffy, happy for a job and prepared to put up with shit.

   The noises such as they are for our future suggest a yes man is needed...

I personally dont think hes leaving ... but Bart knew Wise was going back in August before it happened .. god I hope hes wrong this time!

 That was only because I told him.....

God, I hope you are right!  :beers:

 What would you like to do, before Ragnarok?

I would like to take lots of drugs have lots of sex with a very handsome man and then eat chocolate til I burst.

still got my number bidry?? :soapy tit wank:

she said a handsome man Seb.

It's how the tabloids do quotes ya know.

Even a stopped watch tells the right time twice a day.

I hope you're wrong to Bart, but eh? Look to the 'bright side', you'll be right, which is better than getting behind a club and team, being positive and looking at what's good.

Im fluffed and ready!

Fatters, Would you like to reach god like status? Give Bart a kick in the bollocks and put it on Youtube!

Chubbs is lovely  :oops:

mmmm chubbs and foggy sandwich :D

Foggy

Name me a time when i have been wrong.....

Pray to god i am this time though

All the fucking time!!!!

I particularly liked the one on the thread started by you in June, simply entitled "Ifil"

:roll:

Barty boy, if I'd banged on about the same point 484 times, sooner or later I'd probably come up trumps.

A bit more substance to the constant Board/MD bashing you post wouldn't go amiss.

I reckon that one was wrong. What do I win?

I dont really give a fuck to be honest, Just stop posting the same fucking negativity all the time . If he goes, he goes. The world will keep turning and the circus that is STFC will continue.

You won't be saying that once he goes Foggy. You should be out there doing something before its too late you old cunt  :scribe:

Shut the fuck up.

Cheers Dan. I cant be bothered with the little twat any more.

a bit harsh foggy.bart nearly gets stuff right,sort of :?

The only one he got even remotely right was.....Dennis Wise would walk. He posted it before the season even started.

Sorry Arriba but i get fucked off with him throwing in the grenade and then walking away. When he comes on here and backs it up with some sunstance  i will stop getting fucked off with him.

 Yeah but he just copied what I'd posted on thisis....you'll have to take my word for it, because the archive there has now gone.

I took that the wrong way you old cunt  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Nice one DV. :D

That's the biggest 'fuck you' Bart's ever had.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Nice one DV

I think I can help you with the second one and maybe the third

Nice piece by Williams in the adver today re Sturrock not leaving.

It might be his opinion yes, however I'd rather pay more attention on what he has to say than some of the stuff being spouted recently on here.

For what its worth I still think Sturrock isn't going anywhere.

Thank fuck for that, are we finally seeing the end of the "Bart is often right myth".

Bart is rarely right, but is living proof of the theory that if you throw enough shit at a wall some of it is bound to stick.

When you are proved wrong, will you come on here and admit you are a total fuckwit, who knows fuck all and just enjoys messing with peoples minds?

Or will you continue your tirade of bullshit ad infinitum?

I think I already know the answer................................

   Lady.....here's the key..."I'm a similar age to Rufus and I've know him for a number of years.

    Ady, will probably benefit by way of a job, when Rufus takes over.....he's not going to rock the boat.

TBH Im sick to death of speculation without any cold hard facts.

When more information comes to light then perhaps I'll be as adamant as the rest of you hes off.

 That's told me.....I wouldn't want to see you get in a strop.

I would!

That wasn't directly at you Reg, just in general.

I dont see why everyone is expected to think the same without any concrete proof thats all!

Yes and if we were fed the truth by the club no-one would keep speculating

if we were fed the truth by the club no-one would beleive it anyway.

    That's a relief....you are of course right.  

 Unfortunately until such time as the "facts" creeping out of the CG are more substantial and  what little we do know is less bizarre, then imagination will fill the void.

Haven't the club been honest and truthful with us in the past then?

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Ahaha, you big wind up.

So why haven't you answered Herthab's perfectly reasonable question Bart?????

how many times do I have to tell you, the world will end on friday anyway

Im always right and so are my sources.

Could you turn some water into wine first DV? Just as a way of compensating for the world ending tomorrow... :?

I beleive they was......back in 1901  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Is it this Friday, i.e. today?  Frankly I think it's well out of order to end the world on a Friday...I want a weekend :evil:

Cheers

Donkey

Plus it's my birthday tomorrow. That'd be bang out of order.

Happy Birthday, mate. :beers:

If we make it that far...

Cheers

Donkey

It's Saturday here now, and so far the world shows no sign of ending. Unless of course it's going to a phased apocalypse, starting at the Greenwich Meridian.

my sources have let me down  :(

If it is going to end before midnight tonight, will there be any kind of rumbling noise or anything beforehand? I'm just wondering if we'll get a few minutes notice so I can open my pressies - just so I can go out on a wave of mild disappointment, like.

Any rumbling noise could well be attributed to the earth moving for Fatbury in Corfu!!

Possibly but on balance I'd say the end of the world is more likely, wouldn't you?  :D

Agreed!

    :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Sorry Paul,  I've got your hubcap here, just haven't had time to wrap it yet. :wink:

Happy Birthday anyway

Worrying

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/default.stm

Very fucking worrying.

I'd be gutted if he leaves, I beleive he is a man of his word though so unless the rumours of him being pissed off are true I won't shit myself just yet.

Hey, you know the press conference on Thursday.......:)

Leicester can fuck right off.

Piss off Mandaric!

My heart sank when I read that.

I second Sams verdict...

Fuck right off Mandaric!!!

Surely the Allen saga would put any man off.

Sturrock still has that no-way-out clause so if it exists - we'll be okay. Right?

Keep a look out for an unemployed fat man puffing a cigar whose name is an anagram of Kandy Ing....



No such thing. Every contract has a price if the will of either party is there to break the contract.

As I said, unless the rumours are true that he is pissed off,  he won't walk (IMHO).

Firstly, let's hope the BBC are up to their usual standards

Secondly let's hope (and I think it's the case) that Sturrock is more a man of principle than Wise.

Thirdly,  perhaps our new owners won't be so keen to get their hands on a payoff

Sadly, It's "big club v little club" scenario.

I genuinely think he'll stay - if he goes I'll be gutted and supporting Rufus Brevett's Red & White Army.

Eek.

Everything is finally coming together.

Leicester fucking wankers.

And to think we beat them in the play off final as well.

Leicester fans on 606 aren't happy.

Don't want him.  Wise has been linked as well.........................

He better not go, piss off mandaric, (fucking asylum seeker)

... the most annoying thing is that we won't get any kind of statement regarding this until Thursdays update

Also, the piece has come from Radio Wilts - just run in the 3pm bulletin

Leicester can go fuck themselves.

I'd expect Simon Grayson to go there...worked wonders at Blackpool and the only Leicester captain EVER to lift a piece of silverware.

There's no quotes - there's no major substance - the phone call could be one of many by Milan Mandaric.

Ken Bates didn't want anyone else to manage Leeds other than Dennis Wise - here's hoping Leicester are looking around.

Typical this leaked out of STFC though isn't it!

Bart must be rushing to his computer as we speak.

Id like to think Sturrock has more sense than to go there.

I'd hope he didn't have the "grass is greener" attitude Wise had.

I wonder if stfc_bart or stfc_steve have any thoughts on this......?

**Awaits reply**

I'll be very fucked off if Sturrock leaves.  :evil:

Sadly I can see Sturrock going if he is not happy with what is going on here, if he is fine with it then I expect him to stay as he is building a good team and if everything comes together this season then we may have an outside chance of the play-off's with the team he is building and he may fancy staying to see how far he can take us.

There is alo the pull of working in the championship again with the chance of promotion to the prem which is probably a big pull.

But I just have that nagging in my head telling me all is not well and it may be the escape route he needs.....

Will loyalty be a deciding factor...is there any loyalty in football ??

The only  thing in our favour is the fact that Mandaric is the chairman. Would be very suprised Sturrock would go particularly in the circumstances Allen left, they are mates so bound to talk

:shock:

Bart is slightly positive almost optimistic cup half full post

/  :shock:

Thats not actually that pessimistic for you bart  :shock:

I agree!  :D

Our board maybe inept and there maybe rumours of players being forced on him but at least Sturrock has still been able to bring players he wants in - RE: J-P McG.

Sturrock would have to become a total yes man to Mandaric - RE: Hasselbaink.

if Leicester steal him I'll go punch Milan in the cunt!

fuck off leicester!

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I nearly crashed on the M4 when Sam text me !

 :|

Sorry mate.

Would be fucking typical if he goes, and the only people to blame would be the board new or old (its the same fucking thing anyway!) :evil:

Don't read messages whilst driving? Just a thought like... :D

If he does go it will be down to the shananigans of the board, n o other reason. It is obvious that he is having trialists pushed onto him, mond you this would be no different at Leicester where mandaric picks the players

Thats more like it  :wink]

Well its obvious that player from accrington was signed without his say so

Club to comment this afternoon according to Adver site. Gulp.

Christ. Nervy hours ahead.

Club Statement will consist of "we can confirm an approach from Leicester City regarding the services of Paul Sturrock".

How the fuck can anyone blame the Board of STFC for this???? I'm certainly not their biggest fan, but to imply this is their fault is sheer folly right now until facts are known re: Sturrock being pissed off etc. Just rumour and conjecture and you're all getting wound up about the slightest little thing.

You can't blame Leicester for looking at all the options available, and lets face it, Sturrock IS a good option for them in the cold light of day.

All that said, fuck off Leicester, and especially fuck off Mandaric. A cunt of a chairman and cunts of a club.

I concur on all fronts.

Really? Substantiate that claim with facts. We know the player was signed and we, as fans, were not officially informed. But how do YOU know for sure that Sturrock was not consulted on the matter.

If Sturrock goes that's the final straw for me, I will not attend any more town games until the board have gone.

I do not like the fact we have just got in x amount of ex-Sturrock players only for him to possibly be allowed to leave.

Come on Luggy show some loyalty, come on board show some balls.

God I hate Leicester even more now.

(this is a huge over reaction - but is exactly how I feel right at this moment).

I'd 2nd that Jan.

Be nothing short of a disaster if he left.  Deja Vu what with Wise leaving last season.

We can't go through that again surely.

If Leicester make an official approach to the club and the club let PS speak to Leicester then I think they have made up their minds to replace PS and this would be the cheaper option than removing him from his position.

If PS talks to LCFC about the job then I think he has made up his mind to leave.

If either of these scenarios are not met he will stay, rather obviously!

I hope hes a man of his word, which he does appear to be, and finishes the job he started at Swindon.

On another point, we will always have our manager linked to teams from a higher league as long as we are doing well and getting results, so we may as well get used to it because if he doesnt leave this time then I feel many more approaches are pretty inevtiable as long as we are getting results on the pitch with PS.

Im lost for words at the mo... im just gonna second you lady!

and continue "however he has 11 months of an 18 month contract to run and we will do everything to retain his services." (que new contract offer)...

Then mandric will add a 0 onto the end of the checque, Sandy Gray will get confused but think we are minted, Mandric will smile because he put the 0 after the decimal point and Luggy will be gone.

Or not. We'll see.

He isn't going anywhere. He's only just finished building his team for fucks sake.

What about this "no get out" clause?  Is that not tying him to STFC at least to the end of the season?

I'd love to go to the CG and handcuff him to the new railings in the  Town End......  :D

I personally think he'll stay.

But I bet with the clause if the club and the manager both wanted out it could happen.

I think your confusing Luggy with the Cock there tbh  :soapy tit wank:

Don't know how mind...

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1106876,00.html

:shock:

Where are the BBC getting their info then!!!!!!

:beers:  :beers:  :D

if he goes then i think it would be terrible for stfc.i honestly think he could be the best manager we've had since macari.if there has been interference from the new board elect and brevett then that could swing it.higher league,bigger fan base ect ect could also tempt him.that said, having mandaric as chairman could be a blessing for us as he is proven to unsettle managers.

Could someone cut and paste the text. Can't access the link from work. Ta.

Errrm, it could be Leicester or any other club without a manager/looking to change manager.

When you have a decent manager he's always going to be linked to other teams. It's inevitability.

Swindon Town Football Club would like to confirm that it has received no approach from any club with regard to manager Paul Sturrock.

The club would also like to confirm that any approach would not be welcome and the club remain committed to League One success under Paul Sturrock's guidance.

The statement basically reads - no approach and won't accept one.  Whether it holds out remains to be seen as I think the same happened with Wise to begin with, then it changed to derisory offer and all talks were off, followed by seeing him at Leeds.

Personally, I thin it'll be a disaster if he goes. We're just starting to see what he's capable of building. We've gone from a team just about good enough to get promoted from League 2, to a team with what looks like a shot at a play-off place in League 1.

Just look at Walsall. They were champions of League 2 last season. Where are they now? I know its early but....

If Sturrock goes, and makes any mention of the new Investors/Board interfering as a reason, I'll be very angry.

It all smells very much like the Wise situation last season.

A national newspaper apparently. My money's on the Sun. Useless cunts.

Thanks guys (magic8 & RobT)

That should start another round of conspiracy theories. Cue Bart... :x

I think if he was signed with out luggys say so he wouldnt have fucking played him last night tbh

heres hoping they stick to that  :beers:  :beers:

he better not go, it might just be the last straw....unless we can find a better manager....but I doubt it.

I bet he's logged on and ready to type as we speak....

hes viewing this section.....

It's nothing like the Wise situation.

Wise came out and criticised the board, something Sturrock hasn't done.

Sturrock has been here longer and invested more in the club than Wise ever did.

Wise wanted to go to Leeds due partly to the 'big club' factor and partly because he's buddies with papa smurf.

Wise was a cunt.

End of.

 :goodpost:

Herthab = The Voice of Reason.

Although I'd argue that Wise still is a cunt...

Tony Daley (ex sheffield united fitness coach) left sheff utd last week after falling out with bryan robson and has just been apointed leicester's fitness coach, neil warnock was also sat with mandaric at the plymouth v leicester game at the weekend, daley and warnock worked together at sheff utd, this info has come from leicester fans so hopefully we don't have to worry.

Good point Coxy. Very much still a whining cunt in my eyes.

Your avatar just reminded me that Iain Dowie's been linked as well.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Its all a big misunderstanding. They're actually after blair sturrock

OMG Mr Cox thats appalling, but now that you come to mention it!

Oh fuckety fuckety big fat fuck buckets. It's just one thing after the other with this club. We can't even bask in the glory of scoring four goals for 24 hours without some other crap coming up :?

I don't think anything that ever happens at this club will ever surprise me.

That said, I can't see that Sturrock would want to work with Mandaric. He has a proven track record on interfering with team selection and the like.

I would really like to see a statement from Sturrock himself on this, stating categorically that he will be staying.

IF this does come true (and let's hope it is a HUGE if) I swear to God that will be the absolute final straw for me. I will give up the fucking ghost with this club once and for all.

That really, really is not an empty threat. That will be it for me.




FACT!

I wouldn't

The fucking paint's still wet

 :wink:

If he goes it will be because of the way he has been treated by the club- no other reason

so higher league, bigger crowds, more money is irrelivant then?

Everyone has their price and PS is no different.

FWIW I dont think he is going anywhere

So you're saying he's absolutely definitely not going then Fred?



Excellent news :beers:

He may go.

Then again, he may not.

If he goes, it'll definitely be for a reason but none of us knows what the reason will be for certain.

I don't think he'll go.

I think I've managed to encapsulate this whole thread in one post!

Oh, hang on, I forgot Barts contribution.............

It's the boards fault.

That's my slant on things OST.

I hope I am proved right

Jesus, this is just average run of the mill journalism.

There's currently a load of managers linked with this post. Sturrock is being linked as papers will print any old shit.

I'm the dramatic one, but christ half the people on hear get well over the top.

So it's not important to you that the best manager we've had in years could leave?

To be honest I'm just dreading the thought of another Wise situation unfolding.

I was certain that Wise would not jump ship but he did.  Now I'm certain that Sturrock won't be lured away, but I can't be sure.  So being the bloke I am I think about what kind of effect him leaving could have on our season/future.

It would be a nightmare!!  We'd probably end up with some unproven sh*t manager and another spell of crap would just be around the corner.

Martin Allen.

Rufus  :?

Relax guys. Warnock will get the job  :D

I'd be gutted if he left though. In fact we'd probably end up with Martin Fucking Allen in which case i'd seriously consider not going. Tbh though i don't think he'll go.

Although the board say they have not been approached it dosen't mean that Sturrock hasn't been approached unofficially (like Wise was) and may welcome an approach to put pressure on the board to do things his way rather than interfere.

If he does leave I think the board can expect a serious backlash from supporters, perhaps we can protest in front of the cameras on Sunday if it is true and perhaps even take over one of the cameras and force them to listen to what supporters want for once.

I wonder if Sturrock actually met with Little Jim today after all....could be an interesting press conf tomorrow

http://forum.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=921

Local lad?  Local bets?  Nothing more than a few Town fans hedging their bets.

I think hes going to go and suprisingly I find myself not wanting him to :shock:

TUMDFC  :?

Worrying.

i saw a piece on sky sports news about 5pm and they rolled off about 6 names, first mentioning dowie as the strong favourite then warnock then paul jewell and others i forget but no mention of sturrock.
i think it's bollocks and the fact that sturrock has now got more of the team he wants plus that he has just bought jpm and the fact that these so called bets were made before he signed him makes me believe he is not going anywhere

Yeah, of course it's important, but lets not start getting ahead of ourselves and getting in a right two and eight over something which is standard throughout a season. - Remember Andy King being linked with Pompey?

We've not been told he's going, we've not been told he wants to go, he's not said he's unhappy and after all we've only read a story about another manager being linked with another post.

Vacancies in football these days are all treated the same way by the press. It's just a template of a story with a fill in the blank (for the managers name) and  successful managers names are pulled out of the hat.

Anyway, i thought you were being positive like me? :)

http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=41686&st=480

most Leicester fans dont want him , one even thinks he plays hoof football with comments like that they dont deserve a decent manager. This is feeling very deja vu  like surely history of 12 months ago can not be repeated but the press conference tomorrow is very ominous  :(

I think PS is a decent and honest chap. His house was recently finished so he has now moved here, he has moved in players on long ( for us ) contracts and asks for some sort of loyalty from players so I would expect him to give a little back to them in return. It does seem that he has a sort of problem with the new owners which was going to be talked about today I guess. We all speculate that he is being told what players will sign ( that chap last night ) and that this could be the problem. Yet moving to Leicester would be no different. The Hasselbaink incident with Mandaric arranging for a player to sign that the manager didn't want to. HE WILL GO NOWHERE !..........   I hope. :|

The press call for tomorrow is very cancelled is what it is, if that helps any.

BAPE has posted on thisis "Mate it's bad....REALLY BAD " this guy got the deadline day signings almost exactly right without giving names and is obviously in the know, I just hope he is wrong for once because I am starting to get a really bad feeling about this. The fact that people were ringing bookmakers up last week for prices on Sturrock leaving is really worrying

Leicester   :fu:

Oh Crap !! :cry:

If he leaves and Diamand Mike and Co are the reason again i might have to do an Alan and stay at home  :D

Seriously though i bet we get a shite manager this time round. We were lucky to get Sturrock last time but this time we'll probably get Brevitt  :(

 I'd suggest that pretty much confirms Sturrocks exit....took a few weeks longer than what I thought, but I suppose he was never going to walk without compensation but would wait for a new job.

Aren't you jumping the gun a little here?

 Who me....hardly I predicted back at the start of August that Sturrock couldn't work with the new regime.  My initial thought was he'd just walk, but then I came to think he'd probably want sacking for a pay-out or a new job.

 I don't think its possible for a proper manager to work with Diamandis...so its got to be someone desperate  for a job.

No decent manager will work with Diamandis and these parasites

I really hope to god you are wrong Reg, but you have a habit of being on the money more often than not. Time will tell I guess.

Yeah I know you did Reg.. but my drunken mind can't handle the thought right now... :( I guess we'll see tomorrow or most likely....

friday.

I feel for some of the players especially the likes of JP who has come here to work with Sturrock how would he feel if PS was to leave 6 days in.

It's all of us i'm going to feel sorry for if he goes. We are back to square one again....Diamand Mike parading about, most likely a poor manager (the cheap option) and this time there is no Bill Power  :(

I don't believe it. Nope.

Time to get rid of this lot for good once and for all. A protest in front of the cameras would be a start......

Won't happpen.

But that's the thing Bart my friend. There is nothing we can do now. The new owner are not going anywhere. We have to put up with them and unfortunatly Mike D and co as well.

  Think all of his old boys have got tidy contracts.....apart from Steve Adams, so I don't think he'll lose too much sleep....

<pedantry>Actually we don't have new owners yet - as far as we know the deal hasn't been completed yet. </pedantry>

It's a complicated business, don't you know, in many ways a lot like buying a house....

I'm not saying that he will leave for Leicester as Mandaric track record isn't the best...I do know things are really bad which won't help in making him want to stay if a job that did suit came up  

Hopefully things might have got cleared up in the meeting today if there was one.

whos bape if you don't mind me asking?

The guy with the Goaty off Eastenders

That is the 64000 dollar question, who ever he is he is obviously partially in the know as he predicted the 3 signings on Friday in the afternoon down to what league and position they currently play in without giving the names

Not going to work

tell you one thing, if sturrock leaes, im not going back! :evil:

If sturrock goes i hope the fans will take some sort of action! also if that scumbag brevett becomes manager i will no longer be interested and will not bother going to any games, i aint supporting any scummer!!

Why change a habit!  :mrgreen:

If Sturrock leaves and Brevett takes charge then they really can fuck right off.

I was fishing :D

At the end of the day the only thing stopping sturrock from going its commitment and love of STFC,
All this talk of a contract? Its a piece of paper, whats the worse that could happen if he leaves before his contract is over? A fine? what with the wages he would get at Leicester, im sure thats not a big deal.

I hope he doesnt go tho.

the ticket man said he would not be going :shock: . end of topic

If as we are led to believe, he has an 18 month lock in the only way he can go is if the club allow him too.

Its not a fucking prison, there are ways around these things.

Adver has a quote from Manderic saying he has not approached Sturrock and he is not being considered

Basically he is legally bound for 18 months, UNLESS the club allow Leicester to speak with him.

We shall see

Not entirely true - if, for example, he could demonstrate breach of contract on the club's side, he could walk free and unemcumbered. And no I don't think he's going to Leicester, but beware of putting too much faith in airy statements about binding contracts that no-one's actually seen

What like bill powers shares/loan :D

No not really - at least with Sturrock's contract we're pretty sure there is actually a piece of paper somewhere with a contract written on it  :D

Written on a beer mat from the Gluey?

Meh, all this talk of a 'lock-in' is bollocks. It's just means compensation would be more for the side who wants out.

If Sturrock had turned out to be shit, would we be all saying that we have to put up with it for the rest of the season, because of his contract?

As to Barts statement that Sturrock could only leave if the Board allow him to, well duh!

We are no different to any other club, albeit maybe not run as well, money talks.

I reckon they had a lock in at the Gluey.

Well obviously. Of course. I knew that. It was blatant fishing. I'm not prone to biting or anything...  :oops:   :D

Bart, its been said many times before and I'm sure it'll be said many more times, but you're talking SHITE.  

If you think any judge in this country (or in Europe if it went that far) would enforce the 18-month lock-in clause then you'll be very fucking disappointed!  It'd be laughed out of court - just like you should be from this forum...

I'd have thought it would be the same for his entire contract - so not allowed to talk to anyone unless the club gave permission or this would be tapping up, would it not?

The lock in thing is a bit of a gimmic, probably entails a greater financial clause or something, who knows?

I think we should lock him in at the Gluey until Leicester get bored of waiting.

From what I've heard he would probably enjoy that 8)

The 18-month thingy actually started when he signed, last October!!  So it only runs until the end of the season, after that he still has two years left on his contract.  Little Jim should sit down with him and give him and the rest of the backroom team an improved contract, if he did move then it would be much more financially viable for STFC.

Makes it very expensive to sack him in the future though.....

anyone pointed out that bart's wrong?

if rufus doesn't take over today then quite a lot of the nostradamus' on here are going to be wrong.

Waste of time doing that, he's always wrong!

Peter Reid has had secret talks with Leicester owner Milan Mandaric, who is also interested in Iain Dowie. (Daily Mirror)

lets hope so.

Why Secret talks though..Reid is out of work and Leicester want a manager

Maybe Reid would employ King as chief scout   :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Not particularly secret if the Mirror know about it! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

No but it makes their story look less like "Sports pages report common knowledge gossip with little extra detail" and more like "Investigative sports desk uncover the real truth of what's going on behind the scenes to bring you major secret scoop".

Reid was  very successful with King as chief scout, Reid went downhill when King joined Swindon.  King would be very successful as a chief scout, he is very good at assessing players.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Five Live have just said it's Megson for the Leicester job - that will really piss off their fans :D

How can the talks have been secret if Daily Mirror knew about them?

I thought it was taken as a given fact?  :)

Can we start an online Journal listing all the times STFU Bart is wrong?

Kind of like a reminder to try and help him/her keep those negativity glands under control?

This was done last week within a thread - it was quite amusing.

I saw DV's Superb post with the word wrong about 10 times, that was ace! :D

It should be cut and pasted into a new thread and stickied.

So anyway, heard on the news that Luggy will be meeting Jose whatsit on Tuesday and that us fans deserve clarification on things.

To be honest I'm not sure what Luggy ment by it, as in what will be discussed and what us fans will eventually be clarified on. But it all sounds interesting.

It means Luggy is off to *insert any managerless club* or he might be off to *insert club with an under pressure manager*

I thought that much was obvious


Love,

STFU_Bart

I'd like to know how many more meetings with the new owners Luggy is going to have. He's been going on for months saying what good people they are whenever he's come out of yet another meeting with them. Now he's looking forward to another one next tuesday, with the takeover still presumably in the balance.

Not having a pop at the Luggmeister as I do rate him as our best manager for years, but him now claiming that the fans need some clarity in his obvious personal hour of need is a bit fucking rich.

Still, he seems to have at last realised that he's working for cunts, with more of the same hovering like flys round shit, which is a progression :)

personally i would hope that he meets with them several times a week, what with them all picking the squad / new signings / strategy together.

Under normal circumstances I would agree with you axs. My comments were aimed at the endless summit style meetings he seems to be constantly called into.

Time will tell if he is prepared to tell the fans what he knows after next Tuesday. Over to you Luggy.

I understand where you are coming from, but I guess as situations change, opinions change - particulariliy with this 'takeover'.

What he was told by the new owners at the beginning may not be what has actually happened now.

Here we go lets start making sturrock a scapegoat this week.

Bear in mind that when Bill Power came on board, Mikey D was nice to him, til the cheque went through anyway. Same with Dennis Wise.

:goodpost:
I think people are getting a tad carried away - I'm not sure how much Sturrock will know himself just yet so let's not get on his back just yet please

He knows a lot more anyway, he addmitted that he had met Jose previously but just didn't know he was going to be GM...I wonder who else he met ?

i reckon he met sammy at sammys kebabs judging by the size of him.  :)

does STFC Bart work for the News of the World
according to the BBC
"Struggling Nottingham Forest and Doncaster could swoop for Swindon boss Paul Sturrock. (NOTW)"

oh yeah?

He wil lbe linked to any job that is vacant / close to vacant due to his fantastic record.

I quite believe his long term future is not at STFC...he is a manager and that is what he does best...manages clubs to promotion, he won't be any good at being a yes man.

How can Sturrock be expected to talk to someone like Rufus about player recruitment and get his approval when he is just finished his playing career and has no experience, and then there is Jose who is a football agent so of course it is in his interests to bring his players here, will Sturrock get a say in who is in his squad....I don't think he will.

Couldnt agree more. I think the way Sturrock (and the fans) is being treated is totally out of order. Let him do his job, a job he is proven at doing well at.

He wont be here by Christmas! And I for one won't blame him for leaving.

has sturrock left yet?

no.

are you all psychic / able to predict the future?

no.




so stop looking for the negatives where there might not be any, for fucks sake!

that's really positive Sonique - keep it up
