Blue_Guru Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) We are an absolute shambles...Sunday league clubs are run better than our place. Like someone has said you can pretty much write off the first quarter of this season given how far behind we are already...there's very little chance of us recovering from that and fans will self implode if we are bottom of the league after 6 games. They have well and truly cocked this one up...just when you think they can't make a worse decision than the last...

steveoafc Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm looking forward to the interview with Barry, when we do eventually appoint someone, where he says the new manager was the standout candidate from the process and our number one target. Not forgetting the due diligence of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's worrying that we can't sign a manager. Granted we're not Barcelona but we had 102 applicants. I know it can take time but how long does negotiations take? Agreed terms my 'arris! Our club is toxic; the world of football knows it and this is why we're struggling. Poor wages, no ambition, bad PR, :censored:ing muppets on the board. Sheridan spotted it before close season when the board backtracked on financial commitment and ambition. This Evans agreeing terms and a 50% increase in budget was most likely bollocks spawned by the club to fool us fans, other managers etc I'm amazed we apparently have players lined up, which implies we've agreed terms and signed. What manager incoming would agree to that?! Were these Shez's players? Evans? Kuqi? The whole sorry mess doesn't stack up and I get the feeling were deep in the :censored: and trying to wheel, deal and fast paddle to honour on commitment come August 6th.

josh_latics Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Or Shez/Shirtliff/scouting team had a list of players they wanted; S'OD has a list, and Corney has made inroads on some of them. Mainly the cheap ones, and ones with criminal records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Needs to make in roads on signing a new manager first surely, incompetence of the highest order. 10/1 to finish bottom is very tempting at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Beyond a farce. Every day is a nail in our League 1 coffin at this point. I could understand trying to get Evans, he's an excellent manager, but the time it's taking to bring in these 3 relatively unwanted men is shambolic. You can see this trio deal falling through and ending up with somebody who was thought to be inadequate 5 weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Admit everyone. Would you trust our board to organise a kids party let alone organise the recruitment of a manager. Corney's no longer interested and the others are a joke. Our clubs on the ropes and we have creditors holding the towel. After all the :censored:e about wages unpaid, winding up orders, managerial deadlines missed and players jumping ship or being sold off you would think Corney would step forward and give the fans a reassuring interview of the future of the club. Even that buffoon Barry spouted off and he's absent and quiet. Blessing maybe but do we have a board these days?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrnes boots Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Imagine if O'Driscoll did decide to pull out, and we went ahead and signed Richard Chaplow (as some rumours have linked him with us). If the Chron didn't lead that day with "SO'D off, bald Rick" I'd buy a season ticket just to hand it back in disgust. Chaplow maybe going to Accrington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrnes boots Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I can see us becoming desperate and appointing Shirtliff soon Shirty would be better than what we have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_latics Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 S'OD plus Shirtliff is the important pair. We'll be fine, looking forward to finishing 18th next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Or Kuqi is not happy as he won't have a say in signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm happy with these two. I'm glad SC listened to me and got on with appointing SOD to the coaching staff (still a bit vague). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 So hopefully the players will start to roll in now, if SOD has been on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing I thought. Doesn't even say what his job title is? He should be given the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
