Why would AL say that and then appoint him as caretaker again ?................

 

......because he had no choice? There no-one else left at the club who could do it!?! He's fired everyone else.

I was under the impression that PW and Clarke had a very good working relationship?

 

Yep..... so it could be that Marco was wispering in Scholes' ear to be careful of Pete Wild's relationship with Peter Clarke.....!?!

If true, imagine how duplicitous and insidious this would present Marco as being....?

Or Mick Priest.

 

....he was talking about one of the coaches being close to a player..... as Scholes brought Priest in, it's unlikely to be him he was referring to......

Just now, simplythemostimportantkick said:

So we can safely say it’s not PW.......

Why?

Probably me being thick but who’s the coach that was referred to ? 

The coach can only be Pete Wild, Chris Millington or Steve Hale......

I doubt that, unless it is someone specific being an arse who happens to be foreign becasue PW has speone about how Peter Clarke has been instrumental in settling the foreign players in.
 

singe.... watch Part Two of Scholes' BT Sport interview below.... Scholes says, Clarke had a go a Missilou [after Stevenage], someone [unnamed] grassed him up to Marco, Marco told Scholes to leave Peter Clarke out..... unless you're calling  Scholes a liar, it's unequivocal.

But he's been poor there as well

....in this last 6 months, yes. Prior to that, no....

....if we cash in on Edmundson (which I think inevitable - and he’s been far from perfect too, gives the ball away too often - but then he’s a young boy as well)....

....A back 4 of Hunt-Hamer (he’ll make a centre half one day - great in the air)-Clarke-Iacovitti/Nepo (although I prefer him further forward) would do for me.

Sadly, I expect Clarke to be released & Sefil to be forced in.... and Hamer could be sold as well. Hope I’m wrong.

.....Nepo better in both respects.

 

Hunt is right footed. His best position should be Right Back.

Doesn't answer my question. Plus, why is he still here then?

He played 47 games for us as League One club as a 21-22yo boy. He didn’t look at all out of place. He looked very assured. Solid defensively and reasonable going forward. As a result he was linked with championship clubs, who - like some of us - could clearly see the potential.

This season, he started off ok, but was dropped after the 4-1 away win at Port Vale, missed Fulham and only got back in the side when’s Scholes arrived, his form in tatters? Why? Because he’s not good enough? Nah. Because he’s a 23yo boy who’s lost his way with the circus ownership of our club. Banished to train with the kids because Marco fell out with him over his agent trying to get him out / Lincoln reportedly interested. He needs an arm round him from a manager that believes in him and the owner to keep his fkin beak out.

Perversely, I think it would better for him if he leaves. When he’s playing above us in the football league pyramid. Like Eardley, Matt Smith, Kieran Lee, I’ll remind you of this little exchange.

Tell me one thing Hunt has done to deserve a new contract. One excellent performance. Anything

What’s she said? 

"How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead and decided to bury me? God knows, I'm ready!"

What she said was sad but then, all the rejection she's had to pretend to be happy could only be idiocy

We are a step up from Macclesfield.

I know - just - I was being mildly facetious, in order to have a pop at our failed and failing owners....

I wouldn't be adverse to going in for Big Sol in the summer. Surely he'll have ideas higher than Macclesfield...

....but we’re not higher than Macclesfield. Thanks to a combination of Chris Moore, Simon Blitz, Danny Gazal, Simon Corney & Abdallah Lemsagam.

We'll just judge COG off the games he bagged then and offer him a new deal

Er, no.... I’ll take age into account as well. 23 plays 33. Next.

39 percent of this forum want to keep Rob Hunt. Just when you think you’ve seen it all.

....because a decision can made by considering his performance over his entire contract, not just the last 6 months of it?

Lemmy can think of about four thousand reasons why he shouldn't get a second series...

....the same 4 thousand reasons why Maouche should....?

Being told that your captain is being released at the end of the season isn't gonna get Wild foaming at the mouth at the prospect of taking the job full time...

Just for a point of reference here, 130 out of 136 votes cast [thus far] would offer him an extension.

............managers live and die on recruitment though, has he got the contact book to improve the current squad?

........would he be allowed to use it much, even if he did? OR, would the fact he hasn't got one be preferable to the Lemmy's?

AL should stop fucking about, put Mo in charge of the team, and put his balls on the table. If it fails, then he'll have nowhere to hide - no fall guys, just his own sword to fall on.

....whilst I don't want this, I agree with you. He just needs to be honest [for a change]......

Difficult this.

He's done Excellently.... and so why would I say 'No' to offering him the job?

I think I'm influenced more by concern for the Lemsagam's wanting a man they feel they can control/influence more - and I'm not saying Pete Wild is malleable to their demands anymore than Frankie Bunn was - just that they [AL/ML] will want to avoid anyone they think will be confrontational to their diktats.

I'd say it's nailed on they'll offer it to him - after all they've offered it to Clarke twice - and I think he'll take it, assuming he doesn't find more secure employment elsewhere/the youth set up gets disbanded in favour of the foreign legion reserves, managed by Mo. Lemsagam.

Be under no illusions fellow fans.... the recent form has been a plaster over a wound. There are root and branch issues that still require challenging and I'm hoping the Trust will be able to voice our concerns firmly sooner rather than later, we can get some answers and if necessary [only when dialogue has failed], take some action. It's gonna be a worrying summer..... to quote Andy Holt [Accrington owner], we are one bad season from oblivion.

Wouldn't surprise me if people from League 1 were looking at Maouche, Nepo and Missile

44 minutes ago, OLDHAMADE said:

They'd be mad not to 

Nepo, possibly. I’d like to keep him.

Missile, unlikely. I’d like to keep him.

Maouche, definitely not. Get rid.

23 minutes ago, OLDHAMADE said:

 M.M for release  won't get a chance as they'll be plenty of offers close season

The rest as you were.

You think Maouche’s performances for a mid table division 4 side will mean he’s in demand?

Just now, GlossopLatic said:

Imagine if both Vera and Benteke get offered contracts.

....imagine anyone still defending Marco if they do!?!

I’d give Dearnley a go if Manure don’t want him. He’s got pace and because of his education is good with the ball at his feet. Reminds me of Kieran Lee.

We’re gonna need to sell to pay bills - but I’d prefer it if we didn’t sell both. I’ve opted to sell Edmundson to keep Hamer.

@BP1960, what influences you to sell them both?
