Wiltsboy 0 Posted October 27, 2007 The board will say it took so long because they were after Jewell, but after endless negotions, when they thought they already had him, it all went pear shaped, so they have had to go with a second rate manager instead.

Barry Brockes 145 Posted October 27, 2007 They do seem rather to have backed themselves into a corner and increased expectations with all this ''International Managers'' have applied, ''Premiership Managers have applied'', ''50 high-calibre applicants'' (plus Duffed it) and then the ''the right man might not be available just at this precise moment in time'' phrase leading to speculation regarding Jewell and Bruce (and now Dowie). Am I the only one thinking next week might be a huge let-down when we are introduced to Mr. 500-1 never-considered outsider, never managed but full of potential, an assistant manager recently sacked from Nowheresville!

lucky green trainers 0 Posted October 27, 2007 all our quality transfer targets and now manager targets go the same way eventually - west! ambitious to try though - yeah right. it would be like me drawing up in my almera at a ferrari showroom and asking for a test drive - they''d tell me to fudge off, and rightly so - but at least i could tell people i was trying??? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiltsboy 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Exactley, all these top players we supposedley tried to sign but never came, and we end up with Chris Brown. Therefore I think they will say they tried there best to get Jewell, but we end up with Perrin ( A coach at Forest Green, if you didnt know) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,373 Posted October 28, 2007 Think what it was is that they were never really going to get a manager, they were always going to go with Duffy.Unfortunately Duffy is terrible and now theyre stuck having only interview about 2 people.My dog has better sense than this board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
