Rednready Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Sounds like some of those shortlisted may be under contract. ← I think SL has to get it right or take a final ko from the fans. I believe the guy is on thin ice, patience wearing thin, and showing cracks in the armour. Oh, and i believe LL is a non event. Check your sources.

CodeRed Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Sounds like some of those shortlisted may be under contract. ←yes, SL said "other factors"presumably he's expecting the Cheltenham chairman to put up a fight!See the quotes by their chairman on one of their sites: FootyMAD > Cheltenham Town Mad > Latest > Club News Chairman Confident Of Keeping Ward Story by Site Editor 13 September 2005 Town chairman Paul Baker has said that he is confident of keeping John Ward at Whaddon Road amidst rumours linking the Town boss with the vacant managers job at Bristol City "The situation with John is that he is under contract with us for another season and a half. I'm sure he has every intention of honouring his contract," Baker told The Echo. "In the event of him leaving before it runs out, we would be able to get some compensation. Since he has 18 months of it to go, he would be a reasonably expensive acquisition." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 SL further quoted as aying we spent the weekend working how WHO TO APPROACH to see if they're interested.Doesn't sound like a done deal for LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted September 19, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 To repeat a reply I posted elsewhere....Taking that theory one step further.....Saturday 24th September, Brentford vs Bristol City If we agreed a compensation deal with Brentford for Martin Allen, I doubt their board would be too pleased if his first game in charge for us was against them Who's up for chants of "Martin Allen's Cider Army, B C F C, Martin Allen's Cider Army" (ad infintum) on Saturday?

Robbored Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Why would the club be "approaching" managers to see if they are interested if they have already applied? Surely they wouldn't have applied if they weren't interested.I understood that there is a shortlist of 4 or 5.Have I missed something here??

What is coming out of Ashton Gate, does not inspire me or give me any confidence in the board. It's a shame, as before this rubbish started up I had been one of SteveL's staunchest supporters throughout his tenure as chairman. Now I see him as little better than a politician.

Back of the net Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Someone may be under contract, but not necessarily as a football manager. Peter Reid, Graham Taylor and Dave Bassett are presumably all under contract, either as football pundits or helping out other clubs in a coaching capacity.Basically, no one knows who it is and nothing can be read into Steve L's comments. We'll just have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's probably a bit of loose wording regarding "apply" and where interest has come via someones agent there will still have to be formal contact to confirm interest and go through the usual protocol.

Guest It's_Pacey_time Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 The other factors, I expect would be if the first choice wants more money, or if they can't agree, and have to talk to other choices, which will take a little more time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 The way I interpreted the "approaching" thing was that so far the club have just received CVs, the next step is interviewing and talking to the candidates about what the job involves, resources, salaries etc.Perhaps some of the shortlisted managers are under contract but this confuses me.... the shortlist seems to have come from the CVs and surely if someone's under a fixed term contract with another club they can't go and apply for another job without their employers consent? We'd have to go to their club first wouldn't we?Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex1089 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I should be down Ashton gate at 3:00 and onwards, should I expect too see any action, also I will be taking my digital camara . Who thinks theres a possibility that there will be 1 or 2 wannabemanagers driving in and out of AG at 3:00 and onwards?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the same as So Andso applying while under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
