Nohairdontcare Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Apologies if this has been posted already - it always looks to me that a "I'm perfectly happy here" is code of saying "I've options elsewhere!" http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/31/leeds-united-neil-redfearn-young-players-academy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Interesting aside to that was a link to Bolton in debt to tune of £179m million http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/01/bolton-wanderers-debt-increases What amazes me is how such massive debt is now almost the norm - the amounts of money involved strike me as being bonkers (though I admit I'm anything but a businessman) yet you see these stories reported in almost a "sure it's grand, it's not like there are another two or three zeros on the debt" kind of way.

nzlatic Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 What about the amount of black people with UEFA Qualifications? I would imagine it is much less. This is the key for me. Percentage of black players is irrelevant when comparing to number of managers. The percentage of qualified black coaches is the important stat. Why this rarely gets talked about when the racism card is played is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburbri Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 There might be other candidates who have had good interviews not just him. Let's see how it plays out and if he does get the job let's get behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Mark Yates? Over 100 applicants that are apparently the "highest calibre" since Corneys been here and Mark Yates is the front-runner... Oh dear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 What the problem with Mark Yates? Done a good job at both places by all accounts. These are probably the same people that worship Dowie, who has failed in his last 4 management jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blu-Blood Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's good because he probably got told at the beginning of every season that just staying up was the priority. Exactly what Corney's ambition is at the start of every season. Sounds like just the kind of man that Corney would want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melia Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Uninspiring. Won't sell season tickets with the announcement of mark Yates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 If its Yates I would feel a little underwhelmed. I felt underwhelmed when Lee Johnson got the job but overall he proved to be the right appointment at the time. I was underwhelmed with Dave Penney and that appointment proved to be a disaster. Some of the "name" managers people were suggesting such as Dowie were never going to happen. It was always likely to be a rookie or a tried and failed such as Danny Wilson.

jsslatic Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I also don't see what the problem is with Yates. Got an unfancied team to the playoffs twice. Sacked this year after a slow start but they've clearly got even worse since he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) How is being given 5 years in League Two with Cheltenham and not getting promoted good? Because he took over a team with a small budget, who have spent almost all their history in non-league, when they were bottom of the football league and lifted them into the play offs in consecutive seasons. It's like saying it wouldn't be a good achievement for a manager to do the same with us but in League 1. Has a track record of signing very promising loanees, which will appeal to Corney, got his team playing decent football on a :censored:-tip of a rugby pitch with no money. How anybody can deride that I do not know. Edited April 2, 2015 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I couldn't pick him out of a line up if I was stood there with a picture of him and he was wearing a sign saying "I'm Mark Yates". Who'd have thought that Warnock would end up being a Premier League Manager? Or that Hodgson would be England Manager? Or that Lee Who? Appointed in a shroud of mystery would have grown men one small slither away from weeping into their cornflakes when he left two seasons later. Get some one in, anyone or give it Holden.

Gaz_Oafc Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yates had a squad that should have pissed league 2, failed to get automatic and :censored:ed it up in the playoffs. (According to Cheltenham fans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
