JohnnyPimp Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 TP may not fancy the job on a full-time basis, but I'm sure he'll fancy pitting his wits against Moyes this Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukers1 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I would have thought its all done and dusted, maybe the delay is ID sorting out his commitements with Sky. I have a feeling that this will all be finalised by friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Im pleased he is taking his time to make the correct decision... the only thing is Lee aint the right decision surely! My choice is Dowie and if not talk TP into the job only until end of the season and assess from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thursday press conference. Hopefully announcing: 1) New stand. 2) New manager. 3) Completely new structure behind the scenes to ensure success from bottom to top. Hopefully.

Twisbrogan Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 After the the much improved performance on Saturday, I'm not sure if Corney will be pulling out all the stops to appoint anyone soon and most likely not this week. I wanted someone in more or less straight away simply due to the fact that work needed to be carried out on the training ground to get some sort of confidence and match strategy into the squad. However, given that the current first team have illustrated that they actually are capable of putting a decent showing together, then the instruction to the new man would surely be to keep that level of focus and performance going. Of course each game is different and tactical nouse is key to be able to gets results under various circumstances but where there is an option to hold tight until renewed impetus is required, I think SC will take it especially since each week without a replacement keeps a new wage off the bill. I don't think anyone sees Everton as anything other than a nice to have money spinner so there's no rush to get things fixed up before then and there's unlikely to be any real pressure to change things this side of the Stevenage game.

Wozzer Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Sammy lee will be the new manager Can't be bothered searching for the thread but there were rumours about that ex Chester villain Vaughan being in takeover talks, probably just bollocks but I've just had a text from a Chester fan I know saying that it's true and he's bringing Lee in as gaffer.

TheBigDog Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Just got this from the M.E.N Iain Dowie one and only for Latics...maybe? By Mike Keegan | 12 Feb 2013 09:46 US-based owner Simon Corney, speaking from New York, says that he is yet to decide who will replace City legend Paul Dickov, who vacated the Boundary Park hot seat last week. "Iain is the only person I have been in contact with with regards to the manager's job," he said. "But there is no number one choice. We are taking it day by day so don't rule anything in or out." Dowie, a former Northern Ireland international, led Oldham to the play-offs in 2002-03, albeit with the aid of former owner Chris Moore's not-inconsiderable backing. He is the fans' favourite to take over from Dickov, who left following a league run of one point in 27. But one issue could be his wage demands. Bolton-based Dowie's son, Oliver, tweeted last week: "Good to see dad's fans' favourite for the Oldham job. He's been waiting for a long-term project like this for a while." Whoever gets the job - whether it be Lee, Dowie or Tony P - it got me thinking... The best managerial decision this season has to be the one made by Bournemouth to pursue Eddie Howe and bring him back from Burnley. Any one think of a better decision (apart from Man U continuing with Sir Alex...)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 That Bournemouth side should do well in the championship as well Fair play to Howe was a ballsy step that looks like its paying off, it helps they have a bucket load of cash They must be good if they allowed Barnard to go back to Saints without trying sign him again, although they have loads of strikers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one think of a better decision (apart from Man U continuing with Sir Alex...)? The best managerial appointment of all time was when Latics brought Iain Dowie back for the second time on 14/2/2013. At the time we were lying in the bottom four of League 1 on 30 points after playing :censored:e all season. If only people could have seen that he was going to win the next 15 league matches as well as getting to the FA Cup Final and norrowly missing out on the trophy losing 1-0 to the European Champions. A remarkable task to take us from the relegation zone to promotion through the play offs. Even more remarkable to take us to a second succesful promotion to the Prem (helped by the revenue from our 50,000 seater stadium and an uplift in supporters after both Manchester clubs went bankcrupt in 2014) But for that appointment back in in 2013, perhaps we would not now be playing for a place in Europe (currently lying in Premiership 2nd place behind soon to be Champions - the "moneybags" of Bournemouth -).
