potbelly Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I get the same feeling, Sexstone implied in one of his first interviews that they only wanted a Manager, not a management team. Reading between the lines of some rumours i get the feeling that this is a big part of the interview brief, hence no Jones etc. It will be gutting to see managers in the frame for this job go onto build teams at places like Forest and Pompey. Hope i`m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but surely these things will have been sorted before he was asked down? Certainly issues such as staff and compo; they'd have discussed this with his agent, if not the man himself, before he was officially invited down. Wouldn't they?! Knowing the way Lansdown likes to keep stuff private, I'm sure that Del is currently 1st choice and if that changes it'll be because he doesn't want it for personal reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass half full or half empty? If it isnt money that has put off some of the "bigger" names, what else could it be? Money is always a factor, and saying that money is no object is just smoke and mirrors from the board. Man city = money no object Chealse 5 years ago = money no object Eto going to some russian club in a 10k stadium = money no object. Final two of Delboy and Robins tells a different story.

Hope i`m wrong. I think that Sexton's remarks were aimed at the Dave Jones style of turning up with an entourage of back room staff, from assistant manager to physios and dietitians. I really don't think that City will baulk at McInnes wanting to bring in his own assistant. However, they may want him to find a role for Wiggers until his contract ends, rather than face having to pay him off too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope sorry mate i dont feel the same: 1) Rubbish BCFC show a lot of ambition the ground is an example of that however there are too many negative people in the West country who try and stop the club progressing at all costs. 2) This is pure press specualtion has SL publically come out and said he wants Robins NO and he wont so we have to take that as a load of bolux 3) Robins was on a Championship managers wage which must be more than SJFC were paying McInnes. Even paying out the compo McInnes will probably be on less wages than Robins, so over the 3 years of the contract Mcinnes would work out cheaper. How do you know that Robins will work with anyone ? Didn't he resign from his last post because he couldnt work with his chairman ? 4) The next manager Robins or McInnes would need to bring their own backroon staff we have had the same coaches at BS3 for years and need a big shake up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you assume that the most expensive person is always the best person. I inclined to think that the banking crisis puts paid to that assumption. I never quite follow the obsession with "big name" managers and players as if a "big name" is automatically the right man (Coppell anyone?) but we live in an X-Factor world where celebrity is more important than ability perhaps. As with players I prefer a man who is hungry to prove himself to one just looking for another pay day. David James is a big name and I would still rather have Henderson here. Likewise I would prefer McInnes to Keane, Ince, Jones and the like, Our most successful post-war manager was merely assistant manager at Coventry. Just as well Harry Dolman wasn't bothered about celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC1984 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Sexstone had already said he doesn't see an overhaul of the coaching staff. So we'll have the same players & coaches just a new boss. Looks like it was all Millen's fault then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 If we don't go for McInnes it will be a huge statement by the club that we do really lack ambition, personally I think we have to get McInnes if we are to stay in this league and to fulfil our new stadium plans. All matters relating to football should exclude Lansdown...but then again we have Sexstone, hardly a footballing brain too, I can only hope they look at the fan's desire to get McInnes, but I doubt they will. No offence, but that is utter rubbish. Infact, it is Robins and NOT McInnes that has proven in the past that he is capable of keeping a struggling team in the Championship. My preference would be McInnes, but if it is robins then he should have everyones full support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear there will be a negative atmosphere from the start. sadly I agree. its not the be all and end all but the board really need to think about fans reaction to the appointment. I fear for Robins if he has a difficult start because some fans will be waiting to turn on him because he wasnt the popular choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 It depends, if the board think he's the correct and outstanding candidate then I will get 100% behind them and our new manager. If McInnes is not appointed due to Robins being the cheap option then my £30 will stay in my pocket for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted Robins, that much they would have appointed him last week and probably wouldn't have even gone through the trouble of speaking to McInnes.
