Morally? Eh? Nobody knows his agenda do they? I sure as hell have no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If Scholes isn't in today and there's still issues to sort out they may as well defer his appointment until the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 36 minutes ago, Lee Sinnott said: Good post above Mids... Thanks Mr S. I’m not shooting the messenger here because you’ve been quite accurate via your contacts in the past and I always look out for your posts with interest. Your contacts were certain that Scholes was signed and nailed on for this week ahead of the transfer window shutting. Obviously they were misled. Uncertain who they are but it appears even those ITK aren’t ITK any longer. Be it BT or Salford City - these would have been known ages ago...perhaps even when he was interviewed the last time. If I was keen to get into management, I would have checked whether my current commitments posed a conflict of interest months ago. I would expect the same from my prospective employer. That said; these things don’t take weeks. A call from either or both parties to the EFL will answer this in seconds. Once known, the Salford divestment or transferral of shares takes days - could have been resolved when then involved Beckham. Also do you honestly think Scholes wouldn’t have a break clause with BT if he’s that keen to be a manager? Equally would BT stand in his way? All a smoke screen. Either Scholes wants the job or he doesn’t and knows what he needs to do to secure it if it’s been offered to him. My gut feel is that the delay is down to AL trying to find the funds hence why he flew out to Dubai and also why Blitz is hovering around. AL is potless and the issue is having to hand over asset ownership within the club - player sales ie Edmundson - to fund Scholes or AL trying to fund it himself by trying to offload players. My biggest concern here now isn’t a manager but ALs ability to keep us solvent. He’s avoiding the Trust even more than Corney did. Why is Blitz keen to meet the Trust when AL isnt? What has Blitz got to gain from this meeting? Simple question from me - “do you see the club, as sitting tenants, an opportunity or a hindrance in your plans? If the former, are you prepared to invest into/takeover the club so the two can develop?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because he keeps it all cloak and dagger we should give him the benefit of the doubt? Sorry but we suffered enough of that bullshit at the hands of Corney for years and had to bow down to the apologists, there is not a chance I will spend one more penny with the club the way we are operating and I reckon he's making a huge mistake behaving the way he is. We can bury our heads in the sand if you like but there is a consistent theme emanating from the club and there hasn't really been any denial of this.

latics22 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) If it’s feb appoint someone now, AL can then sack them in time for Scholes. Get the next sacking out of his system in times for Scholes. On a serious note, if it doesn’t happen today, Scholes “signings” if there are any! Still HAVE to come today or we are going no where. Scholes coming in with this squad and doing badly until summer is a nightmare scenario! Edited January 31, 2019 by latics22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If (and it’s a big if) Scholes is his left to his own devices over the summer then hopefully we can see us flourish next season. However, I have absolutely no faith in the leadership at the club and i do fear that the long term future of the club is at severe risk. If Scholes is appointed in Feb, I'd say that there's a big chance he'd be gone by the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, just my opinion, but I reckon the EFL are watching us like a hawk and are asking where the money has come from. The Salford/BT issue doesn't wash with me - surely Scholes would have known this ages ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
