Does he like children or bananas?  

If so he should fit in well then.

Good signing for you guys, reasonable record, albeit with quite a lot of cash at R&Ds, but he should know what is going on.

Just hope he doesn't do too well for you. 8)

Apparentely they've been deported as plans of invading the Isle of Wight were discovered from the Manager's office at the Kassam.

Good news. IMO Brian Talbot is a shit manager more likely to get the scum relegated than promoted. Ask Oldham and Rushden fans their opinion. I know he did well for Rushden but then so could most managers with the budget he had to get them into the league. It all went tits up when they reached league one though and he was out of his depth. If he hadn't left Oldham they would have been relegated by now.

It actually went tits up when Mr Dr. Martin stopped pouring money into the club, and Talbot had to start getting rid of the higher earners.

If anything, that proves your point Melksham i.e. when he suddenly found himself in the real world he couldn't hack it.

Exactly, how many managers at this level have money to spend.


Title: brian talbot is our new manager
Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, May 6, 2005, 14:36:31
Yes , granted he floundered when it mattered, but it was very sudden when all the money was taken away, usually it becomes apparent over time if money is gonig to get tight.  In this case it was pulled right out from under him.

Not that I'm pro Talbot or owt, I just don't think there are many managers out there that could have coped with the situation he was in.

Hey Kinky, don't praise him. Remember he's an oxford cunt now.   :D


Title: brian talbot is our new manager
Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, May 6, 2005, 14:41:07
Like I say, not praising him, jsut saying I wouldn't like to have been in his position at the time.  

I sincerely hope you prove to be right on him being crap though. :D

Those scummy fucks are not happy about the appointment if their message boards are anything to go by. Quite a mixed reaction. Some think it's a good move, most don't and most want to sack the board.

Is that better or worse than our group of clueless people (and one rich bloke to bail us out when the others have fucked up):?:

You're forgetting the benefits of having a board PM. More money than you can shake a stick at....or something  :?

it pretty much sums FK up when he wanted to charge our board £20k a year for being members.
