How many times odes it need to be proven that this market is priced solely on placed bets. It means the square root of **** all in this case.

BCFC Grim Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 So when does pre season begin? This is all getting rather close. People say getting in the play offs and losing is a disadvantage as they can't make plans for the following season. Every day that goes past is a day that the new manager can get stuck in working out what we need. Only we can make such a circus of employing someone. Love to know what actually is the hold up.

Personally, I'll still feel very disappointed if we don't get Chris Hughton. Anyway, I'm off to flog my "contact" with a wet Rovers shirt (I will be wearing suitable protection).

I’m not a betting man, but I’ve said before if our man was Hughton he would be in the role now. No compensation to be paid , purely personal terms to be agreed or disagreed. Have we spoken to Hughton , no idea. I imagine our choice is either currently in a job (Neil maybe Robbins) or just left a role (Cook). I think the delay is due to arranging compensation with an existing employer I don’t agree @Monkehit will be Holden , again a relatively easy negotiation process you would expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No compensation to be paid , purely personal terms to be agreed or disagreed. As many have already said on here just because he’s not currently under contract to anyone it’s not that simple. Personal stuff obviously needs to be agreed but I suspect applicants of the calibration we hope to be attracting for the vacancy will also be interrogating the club regards budgets (not easy with Covid ongoing), club strategy and expectation regard youth players, assistants and backroom staff to buy into the new managers ‘identity’ plus acceptance of our own 5 pillars or what remains of them. No good accepting a nice wedge for yourself then find the piggy bank has been emptied so there’s no further funds are available to get the squad to be able to deliver to the expectation of the Board and fans.

Don’t disagree but Johnson was sacked on 4 July - if he is out number one target I don’t believe it will take this length of time to agree to the above. If after this time it’s not agreed it never will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was under contract until 31 July then it’s naive of us to wait until that date for negotiations began , no other club would. @Davefevshas suggested end of June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I’m tired of being patient now. I’m struggling to believe the board intended the process to take this long, because it now presents a serious threat to our preparations for the new season - which can only mean the process has failed. Either that or it’s an extraordinarily convaluted process that isn’t fit for purpose. Either way, piss poor. And the complete lack of any communication from the club - showing complete disregard for a fan base clearly anxious for answers - is also pissing me off.

I must admit he wasn’t my first choice (I wanted Mick) but having sacked LJ a month ago tomorrow it is inconceivable that he shouldn’t be in post by now if we wanted him. Hardly going to take this long to do due diligence on someone with a great reputation within the game who is presently out of work, either. A shambles.

Slack Bladder Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm of the opinion no news is good news, but no news can only last so long I'm pretty confident it will not be Holden as we are looking for a manager to take us to the next level We've been down that route with Tinnion and Millen.
