If we're doing all this fucking about in order to wait for Gary Speed I will be fucking disgusted.

From what I've heard (which could be complete bollocks), the process hasn't started again. Fitton's just trying to appease the press and the fans whilst trying to get Calderwood who's been the number one target all along.

If Forest werent going to let us have Calderwood 3 weeks ago we have exactly 0% chance of getting him now.
Move on.

Rumours I am hearing is that whoever it is that Fitton wants has an agent, and AF will not deal with agents. If that is true and he continues with that stance (and it is an admirable one) I fear for the future as no manager or player will be coming here!

I dont have an agent, sign me up!!
Agents are part of football and at the end of the day we will be the ones missing out by not dealing with agents.

I'd be pretty suprised if none of the players we signed in summer had agents, particularly as Mark Marshall's was in the Adver every day until we signed him. |

I feel it's also his stance regarding to paying "market rates", whereas its a case of "I will pay so much and not a penny more" very similar to his ethics regarding transfer dealings but so so so much different with a manager |

The thing is, if he really wants the perfect manager but won't pay the going rate for him then we'll be forever trying to get someone in. Somebody somewhere needs to bite the bullet and go off script a bit. |

That's why I said it is oh so different with a manager, and this is not the normal commercial world.
This is football and falls completely outside the normal boardroom pissing contests

Indeed Fred.....also players are 10 a penny, if you look at the odds.....20-30 players at just about every club....up to 60 at Premier clubs......but only 1 manager and a couple of coaching staff.
Plenty of players to pick from but only a few with manager experience or potential.
