*** New Manager Discussion ***

[OlegKuznetsov 10,816]

As time passes, I think McCall's chances gradually increase.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,800]

His last spell at Forest went tits up tbh after a good start. And I think temparent is a huge part of being a manager, coming across as a paranoid loony will hardly inspire confidence in your players. Well unless you manage in the east end of Glasgow.

Oh I agree about his temperament completely. I think it should absolutely rule him out as a candidate but i don't think he will get the job anyway.

[Boybluesy 3,708]

Not one for posting stuff like this but I was told that Davies was with Murray yesterday.

Make of it what you will.

Ray or Steve....

[A Gallant Pioneer 555]

Davies went back to Forest to settle a few scores, he done that and it cost him his job in the end. He's a very good manager but a headcase with a dodgy private life.

Fair enough. No, neither do I.

Davina?

Be pretty pioneering.

He's defo a no go

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,800]

Looks like our list of candidates is dwindling then

Yep I agree that's what I've been told but I try not too be definitive so if something dramatically changes I don't look like a complete prick !

The candidates in our mind don't forget. We still have no idea what's actually going on.

The club have spoke to the representatives of both warbuton & mcinnes , who as it happens are the same people .

[Creampuff 22,628]

All I've heard is that Pereira had essentially signed pending promotion.

McCall and McInnes are non-starters. There's still tentative discussions with Pereira and at least two or three others. I've also heard a couple of baffling names recently from a couple of questionable sources

This is true. I was just being overdramatic for effect

Interesting is that from a source of yours?

I'm not saying your wrong but for what I know 100% We were speaking to warbutons people prior/during the playoffs . It may have been as a back up I honestly don't know but informal discussions leading to slightly more than that took place ,

[Mr RFC 696]

I share your pain. I've been periodically refreshing web pages in the hope that there's some sort of news.

[Bears r us 30,803]

I would think it will be next week until we have any real idea, since King is coming back to Glasgow then, if the e-mail from ff is to be believed.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,800]

The more I think about it the more I like the idea of Solskjaer becoming a candidate.

I'm really hoping he comes into the running but if he was going to I think he would have by now.

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

This is just a wind-up resulting from the prolonged silence from the Board (which creates the opportunity to create utterly wild card ideas about what happens next). So.......maybe they defer a decision until half way through the season when things may be more affordable and in the interim recall McCoist from gardening leave to manage the team until his time runs out in Dec. The Board is already paying McCoist and if there is an affordability problem until his notice period expires why not recall him to managerial duty and lengthen the search period for his replacement. This theory - this very wild card theory - is of course based on the premise that the reinstatement of McCoist would be an enabler for the other part of Board's efforts to re-set the expectations of the Support by ensuring that we'd be in the Championship for another season or more beyond this coming one. Which gives he Board bags of time to find the 'right' replacement and to figure out how to find money to invest in the Club.

Ridiculous isn't it? But that's life when the Board is bunkered down in soundproof rooms and only speaking to themselves. Which is just as ridiculous given the patently obvious traumas the Club and Support has suffered due to the malfunctions of one gross sort or another of this Board's recent predecessors. This Board just starts to look like it malfunctions too - its just a different sort of malfunction we are seeing.

This Pereira guy only seems to manage for a season or so at most of the clubs he has been at. Not that I think he'll come, just think we need someone here for a good few years.

[Broxi 11,501]

My mate spoke to one of the players (who are still here) a few days ago for 10 mins at his work, the player said he expected Warburton and Weir to come in. This was maybe 5/6 days ago and he may not have been basing it on solid info, probably just going with the paper talk.

[Deanofwright 199]

Olympiacos not very happy that pereira spoke to us so he may be out of a job just shortly lol there's already talk of him being replaced because of it

[Creampuff 22,628]
