Board meeting today about Hyypia

[Tim Over Whelmed]

i would rather he did not interview the next manager by skype

He's already interviewed him, they'll be no need for any interview process.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Do tell.

You laugh, but manager recruitment also falls under Burke's remit

You sure? I thought I'd seen TB quoted a couple of years back as saying that the CEO, DoF and manager all reported directly into him. I anticipate that Burke would be involved in the interviewing process (along with PB and perhaps 1 or more NEDs), but surely the decision is ultimately TB's?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Do tell.

Sherwood, all the issues were discussed previously, we just have to concede a little now to get the man we should have had at the bleedin' start!

 

[brightonmark1234]

i think hyypia will get the backing from bloom and co

I can't see it myself. He hasn't got any Championship experience, and there were rumours that he turned us down.

Coolio.......

Any other good news you would like to share.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I think he did but if this was due to team selection, player recruitment and Director's of Football we may be able to address some of the other problems surrounding the club?

My understanding is that, though obviously Bloom has finally sign-off

Just wow, if so. We're doomed, I tell you - doomed!

 

[Scoffers]

Board meetings are regularly scheduled by any company as part of their governance and having one just before the Chairman leaves the country is absolutely sensible and expected. However, while it may not be "about" Hyypia our current position, sorry complete shitness, will be a major topic of conversation, even if only to agree a party line while Tony's away.

Indeed. I am guessing the question of the manager's position might be on the main agenda as opposed to 'any other business'

It's the first I have heard of that. Sami was interviewed by PB and TB and the manager reports to the board, not DB.

So what happens if we lose every match while Tony is in Australia ? Do we wait until he is back to get someone else in

 

[Moshe Gariani]

The interesting thing for me about the Argus article is that it highlights we are 4/1 to go down with the bookies.

On that basis, a lot of the knee-jerkers on here should be lumping on big time. Don't get me wrong, I think it's time for Sami to go (he wont, at least not yet), but the string of 'that's it, we're down' rubbish is set in context of those how generally know the score, the bookies.

Who's willing to put their money where their mouth is?

PG

Do people seriously think we are going down? Or are they just being NSC and finding something a bit more interesting to discuss than "I'd say we have about a one in five chance of being relegated". Anyone who seriously thinks that we are "shit" and "sleepwalking to Div 1" should indeed put their money where their mouth is.

Bin the Finn and we will be fine.

That's right, the boat takes 3 weeks to get a letter back from Oz.

[y2dave]

If Hyppia stays at least we can confirm the board is comprised of yes man.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

What time is the meeting anyone know ?

 

[MattBackHome]

If he is still manager by the end of today I will start to believe there is major major problems behind the scenes at this football club.

I thought that you already believed there were major major problems?

PG

Maybe he could send a fax?

Personally I do not think we will, since as in the Premier League with some there ARE indeed worse sides. Our downhill slide however, and apparent lack of drive (Germaine missing does not help) will be of concern though.
The odds are not a reflection on our real chances of dropping imho, since they are more an indication of the layers' liabilities rather than percentage in their eyes. Would I back at 4/1, certainly not but should we come up with little over the Festive Period and spirits remain apparently low, then 11/2 will be a distant memory.
I would never back my team to go down, but to some money is money, and any savvy gambler (not an oxymoron, there ARE some) will tell you it is all about VALUE.
