Luc Nijholt is my hero, always was as a boy and still is pretty much, I prey to god at night that he will come and save OUR and HIS ex club from relegation, his work in the netherlands says it all, he is the best manager we could expect and we should act quickly to ensure another team don't snap him up, I think he could easily already be managing a SPL or Championship club. Its a oppurtunity we cannot miss out on! COME BACK SUPER LUC!

Im sure you all pretty much agree with me on this one, oh and hi to you all, my first official post on the forum!

i disagree.

Welcome to the tef.

You pray to god at night that he will save us?  :D

Luc would be an interesting appointment, which I would certainly have no problem with.

I don't think we need to act that quickly though, he applied when Wise left and hasn't exactly turned down floods of bids from England since.

However, if there's no club, there's no manager, so lets get the takeover sorted first eh.

oh, and welcome. :D

Spot on, im so suprised Nijholt isnt manager of a huge club, uefa or champions league style. I feel once Mcghee takes Scotland job then Luc will take over at Motherwell, afterall he helped them win the cup! Nijholt would be even better than Sturrock.

Welcome

Think he'd have been snapped up by now by a better dutch side if he had that much about him.

don't be clouded by your judgement of him as an ex-player (fuck me that was patronising sorry)

Think he'd be the old 'breath of fresh air' and wouldn't mind seeing him here but it depends on fitton's speculative nature (which if fitton takes over at STFC then on a scale of 1-10, you would have to say he's a huge risk taker and say 10.....ssshh)

If he's looking more local/proven/cautious, then i don't think he's gonna look much further than cot-ril imo

Who knows, maybe the way Holloway has started at Leicester and given mandaric track record, I wouldn't be surprised if he was back on the market soon  :shock:

No, im writing a letter on behalf of myself and this forum to Luc Nijholt asking him to contact the Swindon Advert and get himself on the back page again declaring his hunger for the job. Is that okay if I mention that some people on this forum would like him to come back? Regards

sorry but  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

are you toni in disguise?!

at least look up the results of that poll or something.

Toni? Am I missing something?

yes i rather hope you are

Do you not agree that someone like Luc has the balls to stand up to the board and tell them whats what!? We all know Sturrock could have done more and spoke to the board but all he wanted was his £250,000 salary and his son on the books, besides Luc would kick these players into touch and make us a fearsome side like Stormvogels Telstar who herald from the very rough and dangerous IJmuiden (Yes I worked there last year and was mugged by a gang of hooded Dutch youths. I have already contacted the club and sent them a recomendation on who I believe has the abilty, desire and the heart to be our new leader.

think ur in for a rough ride devonshire  :roll:

for the record i'd love luc to be our new manager. i can't see it happening or him being that successful...

still some guys with crazy long names would be ACE

Hello devonshire_red. Please don't mention my name in your letter.

Welcome though. Have fun!  :)

i didn't really want luc to be manager but the more i read what devon red has to say on the matter the more i am coming round to his or her way of thinking

 :mrgreen:

We need a team that plays like the old Wimbledon, someone needs to give Diamandis and all the sods in the boardroom a stern word. Someone needs to tell these players that they will be ex footballers if they dont start playing with 100% dedication, how can anyone be inspired by a manager that has not played for the club and has a burning passion for it a real hunger to see it do well? If the club is to crash and burn i'd expect nothing more than Luc to be at the steering wheel because Luc wants it, give the man a chance, I will be at the next game with about 10 or so likeminded town fans with a huge ''Luc for STFC'' banner, come and say hi, might even arrange for a petition of support to aid the cause, Regards

  :nono: :nuts:  :lol2:

ladies and gents we have a new cult hero

arise devonshire_red for the position that some greater power has chosen for you!

anyone else hear on SSN, Mad-dog is set for a return to Brentford following Butchers departure??

(weren't those 2 characters in Snatch along with Bricktop?!)

Thanks guys, was only a opinion.

Welcome Devonshire but a couple of points - I don't want us to play like Wimbledon although I can see where you're coming from as you like Luc! There was always that tremendous couple of seconds before he made contact in the tackle, when we all knew what was coming apart from the poor sod who was about to get it.  Secondly, whatever Diamandis thinks should be irrelevant as hopefully he will have jogged on in the near future.  Personally I would like to see an manager that knows the english league and has experience of getting out of divisions like we're in.  I think alot of why we were promoted last year was down to Sturrock having been there before.

i love you sentiment devonshire_red, i just don't think it would work here.

imagine cedric van der gun (SP) playing up top for us though...

Only passing on what I have been told but Ling has already been lined up by Fitton if the deal gets sorted.The friend that told me knows someone who works at the club.Sorry Luc fans !

Not a chance, trust me Luc can be manager with enough support. Dtand up and be counted Luc supporters.

Luc was my father.

:D

I'm certainly not against getting Luc on board. I think it would bring fans together, give the players a kick up the backside, and perhaps being a few "dormant" fans back to the CG. Not sure if it's the right solution or not but the idea certainly has potential

He'd have to change his name to Nijfitton though. Don't want any nasty smells hanging around.

And not keep saying "for sure", or have his hair in dreadlocks.

Trust your feelings luc

WTF you're writing a letter on behalf of yourself and THIS FORUM???

Perhaps he meant thisis forum, so that it would be taken more seriously? :scribe:

I've just had this arrive in my inbox and been asked to forward it on:

im going to write to sandy grey on our behalf saying we all want to go down on her. any objections?

Does Luc know we have a non schmoking stadium now ?

Sorry to say it but you seem a touch deluded.  

Just a couple of points.

1. No manager will be appointed until the takeover goes through, therefore, there will be no Diamandis to tell off or there will probably be no club for Luc to work with.

2. Since when does a manager sort the boardroom issues out?

3. If you want to play like the old Wimbledon then maybe we should have someone from the old Wimbledon. Dirty Sanchez, Wise, Bassett or Kinnear?  :?

You think Ling will come?

Why not have both... Luc and Ling. What a combo!

Does anyone object if I go to my team Christmas do on this forum's behalf on Friday, it's not going to be anything amazing, just a sit down meal and a few drinks.  Then "we'll" be getting this forum off home, probably in a cab.

If we could all chip in a couple of quid each, that should cover it.

I'd rather have Ling or Allen instead of Luc

dear sandy,

i am writng on behalf of over 2000 members of the TEF. We would like to offer you an orgasmic experience. A 10 minute session of cunnilingus with each and every member of the forum. imagine! you would be left like an octopus' sponge.

i look forward to your reply

mex

Mex are you writing on behalf of the active "members" or the non posting lurkers too?  I think you should clarify.

maybe the lurkers can just watch?

Could be difficult to orgasmise, cunnilogistically speaking. 2000 x 10 minutes equates to 9 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours and 20 minutes based on a standard 5 day working week of 8 hour days (less 1 hour for lunch), and assuminge no weekend working. Also, is such a service VAT exempt?

It may be possible to get advice on this from the intended recipient, but somehow I think this problem has got her licked.

Do the female members get a go on her husband?? He's a right looker.

I see nothing in it for me  "I'm out" (In a dragon, rather than a gay way)

I refuse to touch her again . That was the first time i ever  experienced painful warts

Great i've managed to get in contact with Luc, I obtained his personal email and sent him a message, whats better is the reply. He has put in application, he has also spoken to the club and been informed that he will need to wait a few weeks while the takeover demises or completes. He has also been in contact with Fitton and if the takeover should complete he will indeed be invited for talks with Fitton and the investors.

Its not a lost cause yet, Fitton must see something in Luc!

i dont want niholjt.he wants to get into the english game and just because he had a couple of seasons here sees us as a way to get into the english game.
cotterill or mad dog over him any day.or bring back lou macari

Cotterill or ling for me

No to Nijholt!!

Id be happy with the geezer if when interviewed he's considered best man for the job.Im not sure about Cotterill he seems boring,a formularic personalityless yes man.(Ive no idea what Im basing this on)Allens a cock and would split the fan base,im not sure if i like him for being a cock or hate him because of it at the moment.I think Ling would struggle here,not so long ago he was hated by Orient fans,I guess that just shows how fickle football can be.

Id like to think Fitton will find someone exciting with a bit of expierence that nobody has thought of and as ive said before someone who realsie the size of the job both on and off the field

Orient fans are worse than us though. They call for Lings head when they don't win! He's the best manager they've had for years!

Same as Northampton and now Forest fans with Colin C, you just can't please some people.

Forest I can understand, they still think they're a big club.

Ling in!!!!!!!

Told u last night, Ling is the man coming in.

Sauce?

mourinho is looking for a job. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Its not funny, hes coming here  :|

If BEST were still on the scene, that would be a great conspiracy theory/rumour, but as it is -stfc_steve OUT!!!!

 :wink:

I reckon that STFCLady would be a shit manager.

better than looking at a fat prick though.

You'd have to ask her about that.

I could have sworn that I'd already posted something like that. My internet must have broked. Or maybe I was dreaming. Is dreaming about the tef wrong? Is dreaming about Lady wrong?

Luc spoke to Fitton yesterday, Fitton took time out to speak with Luc while on holiday. I would bet my life savings on luc becoming manager.

I bet he has done the same with other potential managers.
For what its worth I don't think Luc will get the job, Fitton siad he wanted somebody experienced

This infatuation with Luc is a little worrying.

How is Luc Nijholt not experienced? :?

Luc does as you say have experience but from what Andrew Fitton was saying in an interview he wanted somebody with a lot of experience...which to my mind actually counts out everyone that has been linked with the job so far..with the exception of the obviously pie in the sky calls for Hoddles return.

What irritates me is the obsession with signing up former players.  Why?!  If Nijholt hadn't played for us nearly 15 years ago he would be just another Dutch manager managing a Dutch side that no one had heard of.  But because he scored a belter in the home game against Man United in 1994 he's suddenly a contender for our manager's job.

Makes no sense at all.  I'm sure Luc's managerial record is fine, but I hope we cast the net a little wider than Nijholt, Ling and Hoddle (all of whom were great players, btw).

We're getting Ling.

"Nijholt, Ling and Hoddle (all of whom were great players, btw)."

Can't agree with that statement, Hoddle was a great yes, Ling was a very good player for us.  Nijholt was alright he did a job, but was no where near greatness, imo.

Difference is, Nijholt has been involved at the top level in Holland. Including running one of the best youth systems in the country and assisting one of the best managers in the world in the UEFA cup final.

OK...agreed.  I wasn't using 'great' as in Cruyff being a great, or Gielgud.  I meant he was quite good for us and played at a high level.

I agree with that statement.

Don't know who will be manager to be honest,

All though I am confident the Martin Ling will have been watching the takeover developments rather closely, and I suspect a few more managers will have been.

After all, any club with a premiership history, with a good squad in place and transfer funds available would be tempting to a fair few experienced managers out there. In todays transfer environment being able to purchase the players that you want could be a novelty to many.

I reckon that quite a few surprising names might come into the fold within the next few days, provided that the takeover goes through of course.

"with a good squad in place"

I disagree with this statement.

I honestly don't think we have a decent squad.  I was thinking about this this morning (couldn't sleep).  I was pondering IF the takeover goes ahead I wonder which players will be out the door.  

Surely if this consortium has a few bob behind them they'll be looking at strengthening our rather weak squad.

I'd heard differently, especially when we where playing well. Although of course considering my location I can't confess to know better then anyboday else.

That aside though, transfer funds being available will still make us very attractive to quite a few managers out there!

our fuly fit first 11 is good. but center midfield apart, we have absolutley no back-up cover should we get injuries or  suspension, which explaisn why we're so shit at the moment

A while ago i would have disagreed with you, but i've also started to lean this way recently.

Sturrock didn't really get any superb players. Most blow hot and cold, alot, and at best just average. I do feel we have quite a strong squad (in terms of depth), but there's a lot of very average players making up the numbers.

Amusingly, some of our strongest players, in my eyes, were here before Sturrock even came in: Peacock, Roberts, Smith, Smith, Pook, Ifil, Vincent, Brezovan... Some were also involved in the relegation.  :?

I think I'd tend to agree!

Personally I'd prefer Ling to Nijholt but I'll support 100% whoever is appointed until I have a reason not to.

I'd forgotten I'd even written that. I think I might be turning into a bit of an internet bully  :mrgreen:

LUC! LUC! LUC!

Are you really Luc Nijholt or somefink?

I personaly don't want him.

word. spot on my friend!

ling would be my ideal choice but nijholt would be a very good appointment in my opinion.

He is to the "We need Luc" thread, what OneAndrewFitton is to the Boardroom section. I think they're stuck in these comfort zones they exclusively post in. Come outside, it's nice and warm Devonshire_red. :D

If get him and he's shit you know it's going to be your fault?

What I liked about Ling is after taking Orient up, he had a look at his squad, decided most were not up to the job and shipped them out.  A ruthless streak in a manager is good...

But, we need to be taken over first (sorry to put a downer on it, but it's not gone through yet, and until it does, I'm not celebrating :cry: )
