Spent all day dealing with a data issue. Horrible. Does this mean it’s not potter or is is still as clueless as before. 

I still think it will be Potter announced at our first pre-season friendly at half time flying in during a mock up game of quidditch 

 

Yes basically we are all still very clueless 😊

Trying to go back through this thread to see if Potter has turned us down (been told he has), but can't find anything.

Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

Also can't find anything online.

Potter is getting a restraining order against Leicester City and Rudkin so they can't call or be within 10 miles of him. He needs this sorted before coming out and saying no. 

 

Who's told you by the way? I'm starting to come round to the idea it is a no, to be honest.

Would you rather the club rushed to appoint somebody without interviewing a number of candidates and get it wrong?

100% this.

 

I don’t have complete faith in the board but players are on holiday, the league starts in two months today.

 

The panic on here is definitely overboard.

Potter turns everyone down. 

 

Mrs Potter is one lucky lady.

The people are panicking you would thing the season starts next week.

 

Even if we appointed a manager today, everyone is still away on holiday so it's not going to make much difference on regards to the players and team side of things.

 

It's obvious we are going after Potter, and if it takes a bit longer for us to get him that's okay. I would rather take our time and get a better manager than rushing out and hiring someone like Rafa just because he's a free agent.

Likely, given our finances..even if appointed ..NOW!


The new mamanger probably wont officially start work until July 1st?

I think Potter is waiting for the England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 job after Southgate gets us knocked out in the quarter finals, and then resigns.

If Potter seriously wanted the Leicester job he would have taken it by now. I’m guessing that he thinks he can do better than us …. Que Graham Potter announcement this lunch time that he is the new Leicester City manager on a three year contract.

Depends if they’ve got to the stage of actually making offers?

This is the thing, I know it’s easy to feel impatient but we have no need to appoint somebody immediately. The club might actually be doing something right for a change. Unless we leave it too late of course, which is also likely.

Team selection meetings in the Stanny 😀You in @ClaphamFox

Well I was planning to be the Top figure in this arrangement and spend the summer playing polo, watching horse racing and getting bladdered on Champagne. But sod it, let‘s go down the Stanny instead…

@WestLothianFox and @ShepshedFox1884 will be joining us.

Exactly. I imagine they will want any signing on bonus/compensation to go on next year's accounts.

Players away. Euros starting. I can't see many teams doing much, just rumours flying around. When we get the name that is the time to comment. The club are very good at keeping a lid on things. Let's just hope it is someone we feel good about.

I imagine any contract offer could be quite complicated with the points deduction. We don't know how many points we'll be deducted over the course of the season, so any bonuses could be dependent on either survival or points gained regardless of survival. Or there could be different bonuses awarded upon survival contingent on how many points are deducted.

 

Not to mention, if survival becomes an almost impossible job, there could be a break clause to negotiate 12 months into a multi-year contract, plus discussions on how the squad will shape up if/when we'll be able to recruit and what pool we'll be fishing in. Youth player development may factor into that too. Plus all the usual stuff about style of play, etc.

 

This could be one of the most complex hires we've ever had to do. The fact that we have a shortlist and we're getting titbits of information about the kinds of manager we're after, I think, is indicative of a club doing a decent job of doing their due diligence.

 

For me, all our problems originate when. Rodgers decided he wanted to keep all our good players, then we also awarded expensive contracts to our fringe players for their loyalty and put Rodgers on an eye- watering contract himself.

 

Not telling Maresca about the issues was also a boo-boo but in terms of managerial appointments, Maresca was a huge gamble but a success and we're clearly putting a lot of thought and effort into these hires instead of going down the easy road and lurching from one ideology to the next hoping something will stick.

We need a manager who wants to stand there fcuking naked on the sideline he's so consumed by the job he doesn't even get fcuking dressed but reluctantly will wrap a towel around him brought by Rudkin & only on matchdays. The rest of the time, bollock naked muttering something about tactics and those bastards Saturday 

100%, who needs clothes when there are throw in routines to think about.
