Name the next manager

Is the work permit for Craig Bellamy?

Fans hate being kept in the dark but BFC is a business. You could argue that a football club is different but it isn't really, they offer a product and the fans are it's customers. Some of the comments on here and on twitter looking into every aspect of the club leads me to think people have way to much time on their hands. You wouldn't do it with any other business you are a customer of.

Just because we are not being drip fed information every day, doesn't mean that the club are doing nothing. There are many things happening right now to get ready for the new season. Enjoy your summer, take a break from the news and relax. Far too many fans are working themselves up and getting angry for no reason. It really isn't good for your health.

Fans, like collectors, want everything connected to the hobby.
If done correctly, information can prove lucrative to the seller and valued by the customer.
It can work both ways.

Kompany to be unveiled next week (possibly Monday) according to Belgian media. Pretty much what Chris Boden said a few days ago.

Players told yesterday he is the new manager.

Just a case of it being formally announced now.

I once stood on his foot and he shouted at me.

Told off a good a source you can likely get for that information.

Macca on the previous page probably similar given his recent posts.

And it sounds like we've been working behind the scenes regarding transfers, for some time.

Next week could be quite busy.

Id like to see at least 2 new signings in for pre season return the following week.

Don’t forget the rules on this board, if you don’t reveal the source it can’t possibly be true

[NRC]

I can’t believe a day after Macca’s post, and he has shown to have inside sources on this, that after 79 pages I’m the only one to suck the news in and celebrate with a “yay”

I mean WTF

[Bosscat]

I thought it was the use of capital letters when adding "FACT" at the end of your post

was pretty much done the moment he left Anderlecht in my mind, I didn't see anything stopping it so didn't understand the panic on here.

There have definitely been some bumps in the road since then and times where the deal could have been off (Gladbachs interest).

Could it have been off though once a work permit is applied for?

I'm pretty sure the club would have to send evidence of a signed contract to the government department that issues work permits in this case as one wouldn't be granted on the basis he hasn't signed yet but he might do.

[JR1882]

No post for nearly 4 hours is unacceptable.

Someone talk some $#!^

Bump

[joey13]

So does anyone know for sure if Kompany is the new manager and what the delay is ?

[JR1882]

No and No

Hope that helps

[Nori1958]

Iam in Spain...... And even I know who the next manager is

Only in some people's minds, for me he was always coming here the minute he left Anderlecht.

The delay is the camper van he and his coaching staff were travelling in was detained on the Belgium/French border for a week. Thankfully Pace and Steele Ford and Newton secured their onward journey to the UK. Announcement soon.

I knew Basil would have his use eventually

[Longsider]

Heard a strong rumour we care in for an ex Man City defender. Can't reveal my source bit it's very reliable.

So long as it isn't Mangala, that bloke definitely stole a wage at City

Kompany ?

That would be Vincent Kompany - your sauce is past it’s sell-by date.

[NewClaret]

Joleon Lescott?

[jedi_master]

Ex-City defenders from Kompany’s time at the club who aren’t retired:

Mangala 31
Kolarov 36
Otamendi 34
Navas 36 (plays right back these days)
Delph 32 (was mainly a left back at City)
Clichy 36
Denayer 26
Rekik 27
Nastasic 29
Boyata 31
Adaribioyo 24
Angelino 25
Danilo 30
Sandler 25

[BurnleyPaul]

Delph would be my bet…

Yes he’s 32 but he could cover both left back and midfield for us for a year or two whilst we develop long term replacements.

[Hedontplayforyou]

If said rumour is true , I can’t see any of them being realistic other than Delph as previously mentioned by someone else , or Philipe Sandler who is a free agent , and he has featured as sporadically as Kevin Long has in his career.

[Pearcey]

I think longsider has caught a few here.

Vincent Van Go.

[NRC]

Surely the board needs a permanent threat called Vincent Vendredi

[ClaretAL]

I still stick to this posted on the 25th May. And posters still dont understand how to read the board when information is given, and then even worse call in to question the knowledge.
