Next manager

[Suntan]

RVN has gone for plan B knowing he was no longer in the running for the Burnley job. With all due respect, well respected journalists are clutching at straws trying to keep their readers interested. Second guessing any small snippets of information they hear without ever really knowing what’s going on. Some they guess right, some they get wrong.

[gandhisflipflop]

This is rubbish.

This is rubbish

[Rowls]

Whilst I will be remembered for not liking Dyches style of play

Yes, only the other day I overheard two chaps down the pub reminiscing about your opinions. Not the first time though.

In years to come fathers and grandfathers will delight their children and grandchildren as they recall your thoughts on the reign of that fella with the gravelly voice whose name escapes me.

[claretonthecoast1882]

If RVN wants to be a no 2 or 3 somewhere else then he definitely isn't the right man for us. I am not bothered either way about if it was him I struggled to think of many positives but also ad few negatives it felt a weird one for me to decide if he would be a good fit.

Ideally needs sorting though by the end of this week

While I do actually agree with this, I’m just curious what is stopping you from sharing who you think we are going for? What are the ‘circumstances’ stopping us from announcing a manager that you’ve alluded to?

Cos we ain't found one yet and nobody knows 100% who we have and haven't interviewed, except Mr Pace of course.

[warksclaret]

Can see a few more twists and turns in this one-I have to say us fans have had great value from this post-just like the bookies.A new twist every day, people claiming to know the inside line, whose been interviewed, whose turned us down, and with a fair share of abuse to other posters. Will it have a good ending-will we get a goody or a baddy. Its box office stuff

[123EasyasBFC]

This is rubbish.

Owwww to well respected in the knows on UTC can’t decide who’s more in the know

Was RVN coming?

Was he not?

Plot thickens

You said the other day pace would never want the ‘sulky Dutchman’ but now saying he was in the running, if you are going to act like you know at least keep your stories matching up pal

It’s simple, they are talking rubbish

[dsr]

Page 99. Exciting!

[Guller Bull]

Fixtures out tomorrow.

A new page turns - I'm excited for the new season and excited about the new manager!!

[mdd2]

I am bored almost to death by this saga and the known known and unknown known as well as the uknownn, knunwon and wonkn

[willsclarets]

I don't see how RVN rejecting us in favour of man United isnt just as likely as us rejecting him. I really hope it is us rejecting him because that means going backwards, but I can't see unless someone actually knows different, why we know that to be the case

[brazilianclaret]

Now Albania have been knocked out we can expect to see movement on the deal for Sylvinho with Zabaleta imminently

[ksrclaret]

The worst bit about transfers threads and now new manager threads apparently is the number of cranks who pop up claiming to be in the know about things.

We must be well into double figures on this thread now for sad tossers who’ve claimed they know some inside information. It’s all just a bit pathetic really.

Agreed. The current board are so secretive that they didn't leak the name of the assistant manager for weeks after he was actually appointed. They don't leak rumours.

[Terrier]

I realise I will get grief for asking this but I'm not looking back through 99 pages.
After turning Sunderland down what went wrong with rosenior ,I thought he was tied on our next manager.
Talking to various Leeds fans they think highly of him as do most Hull fans.

[nig1954]

Who’s to say that RVN decided that Man U was his preferred option. That decision in many respects may have already been made for him before his former employer came knocking on his door .

[kentonclaret]

I note Sky Bet have Craig Bellamy priced up at odds of 8/11 for both managerial vacancies at Burnley and for Wales.

[123EasyasBFC]

There’s only one person on this thread who doesn’t think RVN was first choice and they try and be very cryptic with their posts.

They themselves backtracked from their original comments about pace not wanting him to say we turned RVN down.

[clarets1978]

Agreed. The current board are so secretive that they didn't leak the name of the assistant manager for weeks after he was actually appointed. They don't leak rumours.

That wouldnt have been a rumour though. That would have been fact

[Suntan]

While I do actually agree with this, I’m just curious what is stopping you from sharing who you think we are going for? What are the ‘circumstances’ stopping us from announcing a manager that you’ve alluded to?

Because nothing in life is certain!

And you already know the person I'm alluding to and the reasons why they may not want this to be public knowledge at this moment in time.

Which makes the signing of an assistant before the manager make more sense..............

And means we may not get an announcement for a while yet, even after the start of the season..........

Which makes putting Bellamy & Jackson in charge for now also make sense.

But then again I could just be a bullsh1tter making all this up.............

And if it doesn't happen there'll be queue on this message board ready to hunt me down and lynch me led by 123EasyasBFC

[Suntan]

There were over 100 managers in the running pal and many have fallen by the wayside including RVN so what have I said that isn't true? I didn't think the board would appoint RVN and as far as I'm aware they haven't so what doesn't match up?

[dsr]

That wouldnt have been a rumour though. That would have been fact

Yes, that's the point. They don't even let facts out of the boardroom, let alone rumours.

My favourite was the guy on the takeover thread way back, danielwaterhouse or something, who came out with an unbelievable amount of guff that loads of people took as gospel.

[FCBurnley]

All sounding fairly shambolic. Of course we will never know what is happening so maybe everything is wonderful but since the start of last season everything to date has been atrocious

pushpinpussy, or whatever he's called, started a thread called 'Moyes' early doors and said he's in. Absolute BS with the pure intention to tell lies. I'm not sure what drives people to be so pathetic.

Which I am guessing also makes perfect sense that if CB has applied for and gets the Wales job wouldn't be the end of the world and part of the transition?

[ClaretTony]

He almost made it sound believable too at times

[CoolClaret]

Printing money for the bookies.

Honestly I really don’t know what you are getting out of this in the know act

How many Championship teams are currently without Managers ?

If so I’m hoping it’s the bullsh1tter option.

Easy cop out to say ‘nothing is certain in life’

Makes coming on a thread acting so much in the know even stranger

If as a club we think it’s ok to start a season with interim staff in charge then they are even more clueless than I already thought they where

[AGENT_CLARET]

Makes you wonder had we done a Brighton and announced him prior to the work visa clearing, if we would have had out new man.

No, we'd of looked silly when he picked Man utd at the last minute

[CoolClaret]

Just us and Hull now - though I think Hull have just appointed someone/just waiting to announce it (Tim Walter, ex Hamburg manager)

Appointing Thierry Henry after our season starts would be the most bizarre appointment in the history of the sport, for several reasons.

[Guller Bull]

Honestly I really don’t know what you are getting out of this in the know act

I am presuming that this thread is supposed to be a bit like the transfer speculation thread?

So what is it you want or don't want from it then.

A guy puts up some "speculation" and you start slagging him?

Is it just cold hard fact you are wanting?

[CoolClaret]

Hull announced their new manager at the end of May

Well there you go.

[Quicknick]

50/50 really like my family. Mum Lancashire, dad Yorkshire. Lived right on the border in Barnoldswick. Brother born in Nelson. When the ambulance picked my mum up pregnant with me, it turned towards Nelson, my dad said you "can turn the other way and head to Skipton, I'm not having two Lancashire sons"

Well at least that's the story my parents told me.

That's a good story. Actually, I am 50/50, too. Father was from Oldham, mother from Skipton. I was born in Skipton.

We are now the only one of the 92 without a manager - Sunderland appointed last Saturday

There’s a difference between speculation to saying something along the lines of ‘it’s either a manager employed or working at the euros and I’ll give you a clue they aren’t working at the euros’

That’s not speculating, that’s acting like you fully know what’s going on and seem to take pleasure in doing so.

It’s strange

[ClaretTony]

Hull announced their new manager at the end of May

Announced on 31st May although he doesn’t start until next Monday

[Bordeauxclaret]

Their original manager also left 3 weeks before ours did.

This thread is beginning to resemble the remnants of a Lewis Carroll novel and reminds me of the conversation Alice had during the tea party and the challenges she faced in understanding the fundamental concept of time.
The riddles posed seemed to have no answer and existed solely to perpetuate confusion and disorder but chaos was the ruling principle and a strange sense of order still existed. Though riddles need not have answers, language must retain some kind of logic.
The Mad Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse kindly pointed out to Alice that "saying what she means and meaning what she says are not the same thing" which seems to put this whole thread into some kind of context.

[FCBurnley]

Wow.

[ClaretTony]

Wow.

I think it’s 17 clubs are changing manager since the end of last season with the other 16 sorted

[Stockbrokerbelt]

It’s very close, unveil Fri/Mon.
