Next manager

[Sozturf7]

What would we do, where would we be without this board.

[NottsClaret]

If it's Bellamy, then we're seriously skint. No other reason. Nothing on his CV to recommend him - would we look at Luton Town's or Sheff Utd's assistant manager for the job?

We wouldn't have to pay him off and he's bankrupt so will be cheap. Beyond that, there's no reason he'd even get an interview.

[mdd2]

Many would be bored

[Wokingclaret]

Mullens assistant was Clive Middlemass. Heath was brought back to the club

Brian's second spell, Casper was still assistant to Dobbo at Bury, Arthur Bellamy was his assistant

[It Is What It Is]

Bo Henriksen as manager and our new assistant Henrik Jansen is the only combination that appears to make sense as they have both worked together before....another stab in the dark really ...

[KernowHouseClaret]

From everything I've read and seen on here and social media, I'm assuming we are going for a more American coaching structure.
Perhaps Bellamy as first team coach with Jackson and Jensen as assistants, they will be in place whoever comes in. The new 'manager' may well be seen more as a Director of Football/Head Coach role as opposed to Manager.
Probably backed up by a recruitment team similar to Brentford.
The club obviously want to be in a position where when a manager leaves he doesn't take the entire backroom staff with him.

[JTClaret]

Is it more believable then RVN being brought over in JJs jet and already met some of the players?

Not that this sheds any more light, though I did spot a comment on a social media post saying RVN was going to be manager (nothing to be taken seriously) tagging a friend saying 'this will be why he was on our flight'.
So I imagine he has been interiewed, and can't look any further than that.

[123EasyasBFC]

The worry is what football knowledge do the “others members” actually have? It would not be the right appointment imo. We need a Manager with experience at this level otherwise, well I dread to think.

I wouldn’t exactly trust Pace football knowledge either tbf

All managers have to start somewhere, not saying I'd pick him personally over other names that have been linked but maybe he has impressed the board behind the scenes

[groove]

It appears that Henrik Jensen was given the job weeks ago, on VK's watch, as a replacement for Bellamy. If he signed at that time, it's possible we are contractually obliged to employ him. If so, this is ridiculous. Up there with the Tresor signing for stupidity.

He’s an employee and can either resign or we’d pay him off.

Bankruptcy doesn’t make him cheap, it’s whatever is in his contract.

He’s not my choice but he has in effect had a working interview for two years and forged relationships within the club and has (apparently) been interviewed along with many others.

We’re not skint and what the club has said is it’s not about the cost it’s about the person and they want the right one, hence the formal interview process, appointing interim management and not rushing.

It's such a mess. Is Bellamy not currently employed then? That said, he seems like a nice fella and wish him all the best

[Clovius Boofus]

To be fair, I don't think anyone expected VK to disappear, and certainly not to a top club.

[Rowls]

If I'd been forced to guess VK's next club at the conclusion of the season, I'd have punted for the Job Club at his local employment exchange centre.

To see him end up at Bayern was a shock to say the least.

We’re at least two coaches light since vk departed, this chap isn’t necessarily the new number two, just a first team quality coach (who obviously knows who the new man is likely to be and has probably been run by the new head coach before his announcement was made).

Slightly odd situation that vk has left staff behind but I’m sure it’ll fall into place.

[claret10]

Like everybody- can never be 100% certain that what you are told is true - but I believe Bellamy has been told today that he won't be the next manager of Burnley- if true could see him ending up as Wales manager

[burnmark]

Pace has flown out to speak to Bellamy who is on holiday in Majorca - Nixon

[Firthy]

The contradictions on this thread make fun reading if nothing else

[timshorts]

From everything I've read and seen on here and social media, I'm assuming we are going for a more American coaching structure.

Well if we need an Offensive Co-ordinator then John Terry should be a shoe in.

[Culmclaret]

Hopefully it will be ‘Sorry Craig, I wanted to tell you in person……

[claret10]

The contradictions on this thread make fun reading if nothing else

What I have been told today involved private jets etc - but must admit if I'd have read Nixon's headline before my conversation I'd have taken that as a positive for Bellamys chances

[Targetman]

Where have you got this information from?

[Boss Hogg]

‘What I have been told today ….’

[123EasyasBFC]

Pace has flown out to speak to Bellamy who is on holiday in Majorca - Nixon

Why waste time to fly out to speak to him, just speak to him at training ground on Monday

[ksrclaret]

Hopefully this news from Nixon, assuming it's true, means that Pace has decided on a sensible candidate but feels that Bellamy deserves to be told in person that it's not him.

The alternative really doesn't bear thinking about.

[HahaYeah]

Why waste time to fly out to speak to him, just speak to him at training ground on Monday

So he can let him enjoy his holiday.

[Murger]

If it’s Bellamy, I might try and cancel my season ticket

[willsclarets]

Except that information is already on a football messageboard, rendering the gesture empty.

[RVclaret]

The article does say he flew out earlier this week while Nixon replied to someone suggesting if it was going to be him, surely it would be done by now, which is a fair comment.

[ksrclaret]

Except that information is already on a football messageboard, rendering the gesture empty.

Fine by me, just as long as he's not getting the gig.

[Murger]

Not if they’ve got contracts etc to sort out.

[Rileybobs]

Did Pace fly out in JJ Watts’ private jet or was JJ using it to transport someone else around?

[RicardoMontalban]

Except that information is already on a football messageboard, rendering the gesture empty.

Just about every conceivable scenario has been posted on here in the last few weeks. In the unlikely event Bellamy is sat next to the pool furiously refreshing UTC to see if he’s got a job, maybe hearing which box Pace has gone for directly from the chairman is the preferred course of events….. before CT posts his article.

[123EasyasBFC]

Why would they sort the contracts in Mallorca, when pre season training starts on Monday, surely if Bellamy is coming in then Bellamy would be flying in to agree it all

[123EasyasBFC]

Let him enjoy his holiday and speak to him Monday

It was a throwaway comment, I doubt he's refreshing UTC no but you do often see media releases reporting something that is contradictory to the point of the thing being reported! ie an article about x person telling y person something in a face to face meeting.

[Murger]

I didn’t say they’d be sorting them out in Mallorca. He could’ve flown out, told him he had the job and the contract would be sorted on his return.

It’s a minefield these days. Well, actually it was a minefield then it turned into whatever is worse than a minefield.

[123EasyasBFC]

Would that really warrant a flight out? Just seems abit much, it’s all extremely weird.

Appoint him interim to start with and then fly out to speak to him again

[Rowls]

The Mail are now reporting that RVN is expected to be named sometime soon.

They've been very on the nail with a lot of recent news about the club and I haven't seen them reporting much on other bits of speculation about our search.

Agreed. Would be a weird way of doing it. We’ve had every other scenario doing the rounds, 1 more won’t hurt

[123EasyasBFC]

Only (4) is total nonsense

You are going to have to delete your account or rename your account on here if Bellamy gets appointed

Pace flying to Majorca to tell Bellamy he had the job, then saying I'll see you Monday morning for training.
Nobody really believes that do they.

[Bosscat]

Would that be a minefield in a minefield then in case the 1st minefield didn't work

‘The Mail…’

It doesn’t appear that those working on the sports desk at The Mail have the confidence to profit from their scoop by placing bets on RVN since his price today has been on the drift (now 4/1 with Bet Victor).

[bfcjg]

I won't believe any rumours about the new manager unless and until a prospective Conservative party candidate slams a few quid on a name.
