This is the concern, at the moment all the information seems to be that each leading candidate turns us down, good job there is a mountain of applications as surely number 45 will accept the poisoned chalice.

The recruitment's obviously going well so far. Must be lots of strong candidates interested.


It's farcical. What did they expect? Sacking a manager just after the window closes is a flipping disaster

How could we turn down "one of the greatest minds in football" ?


I can see the press release now...

Russell Sol only said this morning he thinks it was a shrewd decision because he’s available and probably 10 games into next season, he wouldn’t be available because he’s in demand one of the greatest minds in football. Halfway through the season if he was available, he’d still be in demand one of the greatest minds in football but right now clubs aren’t changing managers so it’s opportunistic in that sense and that’s one of the reasons it’s been possible to bring Russell, Sol, and on top of which he thinks it’s a good time in terms of being able to assess the players and the players to be able to show him that they deserve a contract going forward. So there’s an opportunity both ways there, and in the close season no doubt we can strengthen on what we’ve got and fingers crossed next season we can get the 50 points we need as quickly as possible and then build on from that.

So Phil Brown turns the club down, Askey turns the club down, all other clubs turn Sol Campbell down....

Campbell and GTFC attract each other like an iceberg to the Titanic.

Just out of interest how on earth can you confidently say any of the above is fact and not just your personal speculation?

I don't think you need to be in detective school to make the links.

I think you're absolutely spot on.

Macclesfield had us sniffing round their manager and he wanted to come. They publically offered him more money and more resources to finish the job and now he wants to stay there.

Can somebody remind me of what happened when Paul Hurst left?

Well to be honest it actually depends entirely on how you view the situation- there's a very interesting study on this by Two American psychologists - they saw a game- have a read - it basically shows that people's bias in various situations comes from how they perceive their reality. In context- don't like John fenty you're prepared to accept any information to support that. So yes if your view is that everything fenty says is lies/wrong then that's what your going to take from any information given.
