Tinnion is in on it. https://twitter.com/tinnion_brian/status/1289590782807224320?s=20 With Cook resignation confirmed today. JL and BT now "on to something". I'll put two and two together and guess Cook is incoming as HC/Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you're doing that I'll pop over to China and tell the Wujan Clan that eating bats is a bad idea. Back to the future and we'll be a Premier League stalwart and Cotts will have been awarded the freedom of Bristol. Definitely, a dry Natchthorn day. We had time bids accepted the players didn't want to come here, as for maguire we had everything agreed and then our dog at the time thought he could get a better deal and it fell through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 6 minutes ago, Olé said: Why does this mean something is happening? It's not his photo and he seems to just be correcting the person who posted it. I get it's sudden banter that you'd hope he wouldn't engage in unless something is imminent, but I'd still put nothing past him. With that said, while I want Cook, if something is happening it can't be up on the roof now, so recorded before Cook resigned. I’m pretty certain something is going on, it’s exactly what I’d expect Jon Lansdown to do if something was imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it can't be on the roof today because the Sports Bar is open for the FA Cup so someone would have seen it and tweeted about it by now. Which means it was done before today and can't be Cook - probably Hughton. Perhaps the balance of his Brighton contract expired July 31st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Just now, Olé said: But it can't be on the roof today because the Sports Bar is open for the FA Cup so someone would have seen it and tweeted about it by now. Which means it was done before today and can't be Cook - probably Hughton. Perhaps the balance of his Brighton contract expired July 31st. Unless it hasn't been done on the roof etc due to these circumstances of Cook's confirmed resignation today. If it was Hughton perhaps it was done earlier this morning or yesterday afternoon at AG. I'm going to stop myself now with further speculation because I'm sure I am getting my hopes up waiting for an announcement today. When it's more realistic we will get nothing.

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Is Cook a big enough name to get the eyes from Tinnion and a cheeky comment from Lansdown? They know most fans are keen for Hughton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 JL doesn't tweet that often to be fair, he knows fans will notice. Something on bank holiday Monday perhaps?

Harry Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 40 minutes ago, Phileas Fogg said: Something is going on. The reassuring thing is Lansdown wouldn’t bother teasing the fans if it was Holden. My guess is probably Hughton, announced tonight or tomorrow. Could well be Cook given his resignation. The most interesting thing about that is that Jon’s scribbled arrow on his edited photo is very reminiscent of his training gear design from a couple of years ago.

Cardy Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 My head wants to link it to the previous ‘Done Deal’ press speculation (no smoke without fire), the fact that it is Aug 1st (previous contract compo) & that radio story yesterday where it mentioned Bristol City’s Chris Hughton is live at 3pm on Sunday.....

BS15_RED Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 It’s my birthday Monday, I’d love for City to announce Hughton as an early present! If it’s Paul Cook though, I’ll be quite pleased with that also as I think he’s a cracking manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. @Olé Mentioned that his contract may have wound down on the 31st so couldn't announce before then as it may have jeopardised his payment from Brighton which is a good point. Then again, the timing of Cooks departure from Wigan fits in... One of the two - which isn't a bad outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked, hughton signed a 4 year contract in 2016, and contracts usually run until july as far as i know? In which case his contract expired yesterday.
