Red-Robbo Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Fading doesn't mean ended. It's obvious there are sticking points, as the talks wouldn't have been going on for this long if everything was a breeze. I doubt that sticking point is salary. More likely ongoing commitments on expenditure I'd have thought and maybe promotion-triggered contract issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Guys, guys guys...hold your horses. We're only at stage 5 (part C) of our rigorous recruitment process. Having done the application, interview, 2nd interview, role play, fox chicken grain puzzle group exercise and the general knowledge quiz, we're now moving on to PowerPoint skills and media training assessment. We're still a long way off the Takeshi's Castle final round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, he was went against the grain when there were national press outlets such as Talksport saying he'd agreed a deal. He went on to say that nothing was close which seemed a little odd at the time. He was the first to report on Paul Cook which has since been piggy backed but a lot of other journalists. It's difficult to get information out of the club at the moment judging by the lack of rumours but he appears to be doing a decent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughton, 61, held talks over succeeding Lee Johnson following his dismissal earlier this month as Championship play-off hopes tumbled, but it is thought the club will look at other options after failing to make a breakthrough with discussions. Paul Cook is expected to be in contention following his resignation at Wigan Athletic, where he only suffered relegation due to going into administration and suffering a 12-point penalty. Hughton is still expected to be in the running for jobs, one year on from his departure at the Amex Stadium where he kept Brighton in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons following automatic promotion from the Championship. He was also promoted with Newcastle before spells with Birmingham City and Norwich City. Bristol City chief executive Mark Ashton has been biding his time over an appointment, with Dean Holden taking charge of the last five games of the season as caretaker and only suffering one defeat. Johnson, 39, had been in charge at Ashton Gate for four years and earned a reputation as a promising young manager after keeping the club in the Championship and finishing eighth in his final full season, four points off the play-off places. During his time at the club, young talent from Premier League clubs have been given chances on loan with players such as Tammy Abraham, Kasey Palmer and Ryan Kent getting short-term deals. Johnson was dismissed after a run of nine games without a win, including seven defeats, after looking contenders for a play-off place earlier in the campaign. They ended up finishing in 12th place, seven points off top six and a chance at fighting for promotion. Not you’re usual standard CodeRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more the case that he's just telling the truth tbh, he hasn't committed one way or the other as seemingly the club havent either!
