Board Meeting this afternoon according to Mike Sewell

[Tetteys Jig 851]

Apparently a reliable souce says Rob Butler.

I wonder if they actually do have someone sorted?

Heard this earlier on today and thought it was guff. Probably no announcement today but its nearly there I reckon.

I heard this 4 minutes previously, in the other thread[;)]

[Tetteys Jig 851]

They said definately this week though. It''s hard to imagine them doing an announcement tomorrow or Sunday.

Actually quite nervous/ excited to see who it will be. As long as we get a name with proven success i''ll be reasonably happy, none of this gambling on Popovic or ''giving Neil a chance'' nonsense. They may both turn out to be the next Mourinho one day but this season is not the time to take big gambles like that.

We sacked a manager on Sunday so no reason we wouldn''t announce a manager on Sunday.

Exactly, probably wouldn''t get a press conference, but an offical statement and a few tweets wouldn''t be beyond them on a Sunday.

 

Didn''t they annouce the RVW signing at around 11pm on a Friday?

Sunday is the start of a new week.

I did tell you lot! Discussions are about Lennon or Sherwood!

Check the McNally''s one week deadline thread!

Apparently the board are spilt between two candidates, hence the lack of announcement. Who they are split between is anyones guess but Malky would be my guess, I''ve seen suggestions that Lennon is not really in the running. So maybe Sherwood is the second.

Well my sauce says its between Lennon or Sherwood.

I''m not convinced about Lennon, Michael Bailey has said from what he''s heard Lennon is not really in the running but that Malky is definitely in the running. 

[Indy 3,471]

My SAUCE tells me it''s between Lenin & Stalin....I prefer Stalin.

OK Ginja, just relaying what I heard this morning, at least the board meeting part was right. I am surprised that there''s been no mutterings from Celtic tbh.

Perhaps there is an avoidance of having to pay celtic some compensation?

That''s what surprises me as well I would have thought they''d have had a big press release by now if he was a front runner.

He''s probably just repeating what Mick Dennis said, but Mick didn''t think it was Malky would get it.

It''s 100% Neil Lennon!

I have no past that would suggest that you''d hold any stock in what I''d say here, but I do believe that Malky isn''t keen on this job. From what Michael Bailey says and my own belief and knowledge on Malky, that he and Neil Lennon are not in the running.

This would suggest:

Zola, Sherwood, Garcia or Adams. Bit of a sorry list.

The conclusion of this is that none of us are any the wiser.

Other than there is a meeting (maybe) and it''s between two candidates (or more) (possibly)

If it''s not Malky or Lennon then the bookies have got it badly wrong. Possible, but they don''t often get it wrong.

[YellowNets1901 0]

I think they will ask for more time. Or not ask, but tell us they need more time. That will be the outcome. The manager will be named next week. That''s my prediction.

[The Big Bad Wolf 0]

I said the bookies don''t often get it wrong - not that they are always right (there''s a difference). And after all their business depends on getting it right much more often than not.

Bookies don''t get anything wrong, they just make lots of money. In fact I imagine they will make the biggest profit if it''s not Malky or Lennon.

Being a curteuos woman Delia has gathered the board to tell them who she has chosen to be the next manager.

If there is a board meeting this afternoon Stephen Fry isn''t involved as he is merrily tweeting away.

Although he is just a plastic director, right?
