Unless they all sell up and buy out AL, then keep him on as an agent? Edited January 22, 2019 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stanley30 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not a chance in hell this will happen. Why take the job this time around when we’re in a far worse position, we’ve a mental chairman and he’s no control over transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I’m a little disappointed this has come out in the media and just hoping the club can get the deal over the line. Chris Sutton was on BBC Radio yesterday saying Scholes would be crazy to take the job because of our recent history and an interfering chairman. I think the longer it drags on then the less likely it will happen....we have past history of this sort of shit haven’t we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Valentine Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 To be fair to the club and from what I can make out they haven’t actually leaked or said anything? The odds shortened significantly on Friday night/Saturday morning, then he was reportedly seen at Moss Rose on Saturday so the press have got a semi on, put two and two together and all these stories have come out over the last couple of days. Probably not the clubs fault if it doesn’t go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 You would think that if it was total bollocks, Scholes would have made a statement ruling himself out by now, given the level of media speculation. I'm guessing it's by no means a done deal either so I'll be crossing my fingers and hoping we can get it over the line. It would be imo, the most positive thing to happen to the club for many a year and do wonders for our profile both locally and further afield.

maximus1267 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Too many people over thinking. Most fans would like scholes. I've not seen anything to suggest he won't be our next manager. If it doesn't happen then we move on. This club does seem to drag things out which in turns causes negative thoughts among fans. I'm positive there will be some news today.

adamoafc Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Surprised scholes hasn’t been seen around BP barring that match yesterday.

Yeah, I heard the interview on Talkshite, Alladyce was clueless about us and our situation, he did say that Oldham (yes Oldham) have just sacked a foreign manager, he was trying to back up his argument that young British coaches/managers are not given a chance in this country and have to look abroad for work. It was in relation to the new Huddersfield manager being announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think OAFC is an attractive business buy A club in name only is all the Al owns. He rents the ground and 3 stands from Brassbank. Two stands are beyond repair really. Last years accounts have not been submitted yet and 2017 were only submitted in June last year and the HMRC outcome still pending. Buying us would be a passionate choice. Don't get me wrong I would love them to buy us a a whole package club and land but hand on heart, its going to take someone or people with some decent money behind them.

Clifford Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Been advised by someone who knows scholes that he fancies his chances of doing well. Wants the job and will give it his best go. We are waiting for the owner to come back IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Simon Grayson on TalkSport at the moment - I'd have him in heartbeat once the Scholes things falls through or once Scholes is sacked or leaves.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not sure why everyone is sure Scholes will go tits up. Bowyer is doing a decent job at Charlton. Big Sol seems to have had an impact at Macc, Barton doing an ok job at Fleetwood. Lampard and Gerrard clearly doing very well in different types of clubs. Bar shez we haven't hired an experienced manager for ages. No reason why Scholes won't be a success IMO. Done his coaching badges, knows the town and the club, knows a bit more about lower level footy that he did previously, knows the game clearly and will have very good contacts. I believe those within the club have been informed he is to be announced, as Keith Laird says there is no smoke without fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be all over the papers. Scholes seems a firm man and I am sure it would be a good lesson for AL going forward rather than the rubbing rags he has had so far (bar Shez who walked).
