First Wizard

If it is Allen, then why have they waited.........

Recommended Posts

Nearly 3 bloody weeks to appoint him?.

Also Wyn Jones said, and I quote: ''''We have to do things properly, and speak to the other clubs'''', that rather suggests that the chap they''re interested in is already employed.

Martin Allen isn''t!.[:|]

No, Wizard. They''ve taken three weeks because they know how crucial

this decision is, and have been doing everything possible to get a

genuinely big name in. I know for a fact, for instance, that they

offered the job to Chris Coleman, but naturally enough he turned it

down. If they''d gone straight in and appointed someone like Allen,

they''d have got dog''s abuse about having no ambition. But if all the

best candidates - most of whom will want to manage in the Prem, and not

below - turn us down, then they have no choice other than to turn to

someone like Allen, Tilson, Grayson or Parkinson.

And all the while, they will have been researching various candidates

and asking as many people in the know as they can. MWJ specifically

mentioned the importance of "due diligence": so in Allen''s case,

they''ll have wanted to know why he got the boot from Leicester so

quickly. Delia and Mandaric get on well - so the likelihood is Delia

will have contacted Milan, been warned to avoid Mad Dog, and the board

will then have got in touch with their counterparts at Barnet,

Brentford and MK Dons in order to establish whether it was just

something personal between Mandaric and Allen, or a deeper problem. And

all this doesn''t take five minutes!

And I bet all the clouds are made of fluffy, white cotton wool, in the fairytale world that you live in Shaun!. Read Wynn Jones words again, they are not my words, their his.

The guy City want is already employed, and hopefully its not a low mark bully like Allen!.[:@]

Give me strength! Wizard, the board have been looking at plenty of

candidates over the past three weeks: some in a job, and some not. And

given MWJ couldn''t possibly know who the choice would ultimately be at

the time of the meeting, he was dead right to mention ''other clubs'' -

because that applied to some of the candidates. Moreover, as I''ve

already said, the board will have spoken to Leicester, MK Dons,

Brentford and Barnet in order to find out more about Allen... and

hasn''t it even occurred to you that the delay could be down to him

finalising his severance package with Mandaric.

In any case, it''s him - as you''ll see when it''s announced tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I can only ask this: were you born stupid, or was stupidity

thrust upon you?

[/quote]It''s obvious why they''ve waited. They needed to browse these forums each day until ''1st Wizard'' announced a manager he''d accept! They''ree now on their way to get Mourinho! [;)]. Nahh, your choice was Jewell, wasn''t it? [:D]Here''s hoping [Y]

It may only means that one or more of the people they are interested in is already employed ; or it could mean that they are getting feedback from a former employer!

It did say clubs (plural).

That''s how I read it - but then people read into what they want, don''t they?

If we did offer Coleman the job then it seems like some tapping up was involved as Sociedad didn''t give permission for him to speak to Bolton, so can''t see why they would have done to the mighty Canaries.

(In other words we didn''t offer Coleman the job. The nearest we may have got was offering it to some bloke who used to work at Coleman''s, or something...)

I''ll answer the initial quetion. The only reason we''ve waited is because the board want to hire Jewell. However, Jewell will go to Leicester as they have more cash to spend & we''ll end up with ''Mad Dog''
