How many times have Directors come out in support of the manager, only to be wielding the axe a few days later?

But Elvis isn't dead 'cos I heard him on the radio.

From a pure business point of view, it is better to take the money rather than regret later. For every Wilson there's a Mifsud (offered £, ended up going for 0), a Clingan (offered £ from Leeds - free after) not to mention the fact he had a series of injuries. Pace players like Wilson peak in...

I think Dowie was given a rough deal. IIRC Ranson had Coleman lined up even before the takeover. Wiki : "On 11 February 2008, Dowie was released from his contract as Coventry manager,[18] which was officially cited as being due to significant differences of opinion between the management...

Lining up for Hemel Hempstead against Nuneaton Town today. Was tipped for great things.

Thanks, wasn't sure of legalities, didn't know he was originally turned down right of appeal. Always good to ask the difficult questions. After all, it's better to be a fool for a minute than an idiot for life.

Just a question for any legally astute posters, if he is given leave / right to appeal on the basis of NEW EVIDENCE or similar, does his status revert back to "innocent until proven guilty?" For the sake of clarity, it is abhorrent to even think of signing up a convicted rapist. In this case...

Sufc paid over £3m for him. I'm surprised that sisu (who like Court Appeals and have zero scruples) haven't picked up on that and thought "hmmm.... A good player for nothing, if he wins that's £3m for nothing." He was good in his last season, aged 22. 35 goals.

http://www.chedevans.com/cheds-video-statement His missus is standing by him. Most wouldn't I dare say. Could do a job. Personally, I would sign him on the proviso that he clears his name.

That's true. Didn't we have Robins lined up at the time? Cannot help but think that we would still be in champ were SISU to have not listened to fans Bizarre but true.

Stretching back a bit, Possibly Clingan? Never understood why we let go Andy Marshall.

Point taken, I offer as evidence Mark Robins whilst here, anyone at Portsmouth over the past 5 years, Peter Reid whilst at Leeds and so on. I think that Your Honour gets the gist so to speak.

A bit of truth in that. At the moment SP should walk and he has a chance of getting a job elsewhere. He has an excuse - no money, uncertainty etc. Di Canio did well under tough circumstances at Swindon and then went to Sumderland, had support and resource and got found out. Thorn got another...

In my own personal opinion (and I know not everyone will agree) the Goalkeeper is THE most important player in the squad. All great teams had or have a great goalkeeper. An average team with a great goalkeeper does so much better than it would otherwise. Oggy for example used to keep us in games...

Back in the day you would have a reserve squad that mirrored the first team (I.e. If you had a target man and a poacher set up then you would have a reserve target man and reserve poacher). You would also have a reserve team that played regularly at some kind of competitive level so that if...

It's a catch 22. Give a player a long contract so that we can potentially get a fee (Bell,Barton etc) then we can be stuck paying wages for however long, short contract (Moussa) and they go for nothing.

That's true, plus Kirkland at 33 would rather be bench warming I guess. Why would he come here?, it's not as though he has any connection with CCFC.

Good point, well made.

Up here in Sheffield they have a goalkeeper called Kirkland bench warming because they have another Keeper called Westwood. Perhaps Wednesday would allow Kirkland out on loan with a short term recall option (you would) in order that he doesn't get rusty. Or we could keep with whatever have....

For me McDermott as the tactician with Wise as the motivator / asst mgr. We can but dream. Tbf the wages for Wise would probably be less than Barton (coaches earn less than players I believe).
