Also, Clarke might have thought his Latics career was over after Wellens let him go out on loan and so had opportunities to comment but he remained ultra-professional and seemed quite matey with AL following the win over Fulham. Exactly. Even if things are bad , it’s good to see some professionals actually remain professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a particular reason you've upgraded him from the usual "of his generation"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Does anyone know if it is feasible to put Scholes shares in Salford into a Blind Trust. I realise he knows where they are, but it might saitsfy the regualtions as it is the same for any politician that does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonboy Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 2 hours ago, JoeP said: If Scholes wants to hear AL say he doesn't pick the team, he just has to listen to the sole interview he's given to Radio Manc. Scholes doesn't seem daft, or desperate, so will probably see straight through it. Scholes has gone on in the past about it being the "wrong time" to take the job when the vacancy has come up. This is surely the most "wrong time" it's ever been.. Surely its the opposite - he has absolutely nothing to lose in this situation. We are at our lowest point in the football pyramid for nearly 50 years. We cant do much worse in this shit league.(he says tongue in cheek) As some have said he has an easy get out clause if what AL has agreed to is not honored. Do a half decent job with some sensible loan signings and some decent football, and we will "walk the league" next season and Scholes will be viewed as a success.

sjk2008 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 If Scholes does take this job, it can only be seen as a positive where AL’s meddling is concerned. Scholes has enough standing in the game to make AL listen and, quite simply, keep his nose out of any team affairs. Theres an argument to say hes said that before, and likely do it again, but if he does it this time, then the only outcome following that would be to sack Scholes - and at £300k per year, that’s probabky financial suicide for him. This may just be the kick up the arse he’s needed. Staying on topic, I’m very interested in who Scholes would want as part of his backroom staff.

Hands on Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 When asked if he wanted the job ‘There are a lot of things to take into consideration,’ said Wild. ‘Whether it’s the right time, whether it’s the right club, whether it’s the right anything for a first-team gig.’ Kind of sums up where we are.

Perhaps it will provide a short cut into league management for both of them. Everyone has to start somewhere but I think it’s unlikely unless he’ll be working for a minimal salary. Like Scholes he won’t be skint however so you never know. It will be interesting if they do take over and then Salford are promoted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
