Which is fine, but he may have that effect it the bigger games we needed the wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose and lose heavily, some on here would post the most ridiculous things, the media would have a field day and all Scholes critics would be out of the woodwork.

If we were a club with a plan then this would be perfectly reasonable and the smartest way to go about things. But I just can't see things going smoothly enough between now and the start of next season that Scholes will be here to see that through, regardless of how well he does. I'd love to be proven wrong but I don't trust AL enough. IMO Scholes is definitely the best person for the club at this moment in time.

Clifford Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Didn’t the papers report when the story was breaking that it would be 10 days until it was announced? Why were people expecting it to be earlier than that? Scholes has things outside of football that need taking care of carefully before making such a huge change in lifestyle not to mention the Salford situation. If he is announced tomorrow then there will be time to sign players, if that is the plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he be bothered about Christmas time. I'm not saying he doesn't have money, or access to it (although not a lot of evidence he has) , but it might not have been been readily available or over here.

Do you think he is paying him the £300k (he won't be on that by the way) up front in cash? Scholes is in charge of this process IMO. He has things outside of football that cannot be changed so readily (those who know know), legal aspects around Salford and probably wanting to have time to breath. The moment it broke it was reported as being at least 10 days until he is appointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am thinking more players too, so yes, Scholes will want to see some evidence of funds I would think. and he will need to shell out some more for Scholes to think about joining us too. I agree Scholes is the driver of the process and right that AL has waited this long, and his contracts with Salford & Sky need sorting (not sure what you are refering to about outside football issues. I think part of the delay is also to not associate Bunn leaving with Scholes being quickly appointed and therefore Scholes playing no part of the plan to out Bunn. However, AL must have had an inkling that Schoels was interested before ditching Bunn. Edited January 29, 2019 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejh45 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The talks between AL and PS have been ongoing for a couple of weeks and I have no doubt there has been a lot of arm-wrestling. The fact that at this late stage, PS has not walked away is positive in so far that PS will have demanded a number of assurances to move forward such as, I'm guessing here, the much debated chairman interference, limiting the role of the sporting director and ensuring that there is capacity for improving/increasing the squad. What we don't know is if AL has shown any resistance to these demands or if he has simply accepted them as a price worth paying to increase the profile of the club.

Its an employment contract. If they don't pay him... he walks. Simple. You are overthinking this. What good would proof of funds be for a longer contract when the owner could simply blow those funds the day after proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was approached in November to see if he was interested so not as if it has been sprung on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
