....the next manager we get from a Scottish Club will be....

[Scottlarock 3]

..Mark Warburton.

I know it sounds a bit much but we''ve sounded him out already. I''ve heard from a reliable source, a journalist and then a broadcaster who sounded confident at about 0030 on Talksport then immediately regretted it when the presenter sounded shocked that he''d let it out. A hat - trick of sources in just over two days, all unconnected.

[Lessingham Canary 99]

Now that would make for a happy new year....

[lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0]

On paper, this would appear to be a great appointment.

He''d not come cheap though.

Can''t see a challenge in managing rangers right now. There years behind Celtic. I think he''d relish the challenge here. He''ll get the youngsters playing, and integrate with the senior pros worth keeping.

[Cantiaci Canary 556]

Yes please!

But,

When?

[Herman 9,754]

I really hope your rumours are right Scot.

[Scottlarock 3]

I''m very very confident. Especially when hearing the other journo on the radio, he said the fact that we were debt free, the owners wanted to maintain British ownership and they wanted a dynastic set up going forward (to be fair thats what they wanted with AN). Warburton turned down an England approach last week (the old Stuart Pearce role)

God I hope this is true, Warburton has been my No1 choice since it became apparent the writing is on the wall for Neil. Would be genuinely shocked if we pull this off!

[Bagster 101]

Wouldn''t be my first choice but I would be delighted if this was true :))

[Crabbycanary3 994]

FAR better than Bob Bradley or Alan Pardew,

Would certainly take a lot of pressure off the board if they could pull that off.

[Cantiaci Canary 556]

Apologies if I''ve got this wrong but didn''t you tease everyone with a previous (transfer?) rumour a while back? Is this another wind up?!

[sonyc 5,510]

Warburton would be a fantastic appointment. And a great fit for NCFC. Low ego, someone with values, a little bit of Ron Saunders about him. Terribly treated by an over ambitious Brentford. He has experience. Like Lessingham I think also it would make my new year. This year we cannot do it but next year I think his appointment could restore my confidence in NCFC.

[Chesney Hawkes 0]

All sounds a bit half-baked to me.

[JF 694]

Does this really sound like an appointment our board would make!? With Moxley''s and the smiths track record of appointments I''m going for Jackett

...no apologies required. I have broken a few stories on here over the years...deals do fail at the last minute and plans can change in football very quickly though so you can get egg on your face. I''m not a wind up. You will hear this from other sources over the next few days as the press begin to waken up after Christmas.

Have a look at my last thread. that''s going to be firmed up very soon too :-(

[norfolkngood 1,086]

would Rangers be in champions league if they finish second ?

if so no chance he would come here

as Rangers would then have money to beat Celtic to title

Also if he did well in Europe maybe a PL club would snap him up

if we could get him here i would do it today but unlikely

[A Load of Squit 5,161]

Scotland get 1 Champions League place and that''s via qualifying. second place in the SPFL would be Europa League qualification starting in July.

According to the Daily Record Warburton signed a new deal in the summer which made his take home pay £600K, How much does AN get?

[/quote]

£600k in the hand must equate to around £20k a week. I suppose it''s feasible AN is on that kind of wage.

[A Load of Squit 5,161]

Just exchanged texts with one of our suppliers in Glasgow, he hasn''t heard anything but he did mention that Rangers are linked with Canos.

Hmmm, you may well be right FTW.

I''d be happy with this. Would be a good apppoiintment and much better than ending up with bloody Woy or someone

You are welcome to think whatever you like. As I said, particularly with transfers, things can change quickly....nobody gets it right all the time, even the people involved in the transfer, it''s well known now we made a big offer on Austin.

My sources for this one are completely different and none of them are in Norfolk. tbh I''m more surprised there weren''t any other posters listening to Talksport last night.

As for the last thread I posted, you need to read between the lines....for obvious reasons.

One of them definitely hasn''t...I have no clue how the other two got it but it''d be very unlikely/impossible that they have crossed over.

You have missed something.....the CEO thread.

FTW pretty much echoes my thoughts, regarding your last 2 posts as well, can you elucidate a little Scott?
