***Official: Oscar resignation accepted***

[Dorset Seagull]

Also, Oscar says he has been talking to the club for a while and they accepted his resignation immediately.

Makes you think the successor is already planned. Malky settled a couple of days ago with Cardiff....

Not sure he is the right man personally but who knows. BHAFC, always a drama, never a crisis...

The Malky thing does seem a bit of a coincidence and what with the players allegedly saying a successor has been found

 

[lethaldrizzle]

Be interesting to see what his next job is. Can't see that his CV is good enough for a Premier League job. Admittedly we reached the playoffs on a budget that should have seen us finish midtable, but he inherited a strong squad from Poyet, and he's only been in England a year.

Maybe one of the 2nd tier clubs with reckless sugardaddy owners and/or parachute payments. Norwich seems a good shout.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Probably the only 2 candidates ( within reason ) that I'd hate.

Agree about Ferguson but Sherwood seems to have done OK at Spurs

 

[Triggaaar]

Sherwood had a good record with Spurs, which is obviously a much higher level of football than we're at. But they were also on the end of some pretty big thrashings from the likes of Man City and Liverpool (I think).

For those that follow the premier league, and particularly Spurs, do you think he is good tactically, and managed the team well?

This really saddens me, as it heralds another summer of disruption and a close season going begging (although this year may be slightly better with less transfer movement while the World Cup is ongoing).

What actually angers me is this constant curtain of secrecy. If Oscar has resigned and the club has accepted, then there is no pending threat of legal action, so why not just tell us what has happened and where the differences lie? I appreciate that the club has good reasons for keeping things under wraps (we don't need to go declaring our finances when trying to broker deals with competitors) but it just fills me with impotent despair to be so in the dark.

Sad stuff. Very sad. So near and yet so completely bloody far away. Again.

Depends how quickly we act really. Certainly cant let it go longer than 2-3 weeks.

Dumped again. I'm going on the heartbreak diet darlings. Treble vodka anyone?

It seems Sherwood is a shu in, with the bookies but I am not going to make any predictions after my Darren Ferguson debacle last season.

He's also favourite for the WBA job though! For me Zola would be the best option.

What players?

 

[DanielT]

Please don't take my Oscar away....


Oh.

It's got to have something to do with that blinking song not rhyming! NSK have to accept some blame for this

 

[mwrpoole]

When Wigan turn QPR over tonight, Harry'll resign & get the next train down to Brighton.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Christ on a bike. Here we go again. Oh well, great shame. Who's next?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I like Sherwood. I would go with that or Warnock he would do a job.

Shudder!

 

[Dorset Seagull]

What players?

Someone on here said he heard the players were told about Oscar this morning and mentioned a replacement is already sorted. Probably just a bit of the usual rubbish hence my allegedly

 

[Stat Brother]

Blimey, I really didn't want this to happen, as I think Oscar is a great manager.
Plus it would now seem that there are 'issues' with how the club is run.

Pooh pants.


I guess we should be grateful it's a clean break, and the club should have a manger in place while still in May.

 

[mwrpoole]

He's also favourite for the WBA job though! For me Zola would be the best option.

Not to mention he is still officially Spurs manager, albeit not for much longer it seems.

 

[Magic City]

I would love Malky to come in, however with the West Brom and Norwich jobs now open I'd be surprised if he came here.

Zola is the only other realistic candidate that I would be instantly delighted with if he came in. Someone like Sherwood would take some getting used too, mainly due to his personality, yet I still believe that he is a good up and coming English coach. Steve Clarke as well actually - but his football is very similar to what we have just endured.

Finally thank you to Oscar for a good season, reaching the play-offs was a very good achievement. I hope that he has a good future in football management!

Warnock? WARNOCK?!!!!

Amongst other things, who thinks Sherwood would stick around with us ? He is used to bigger things.

Would be another 1 year manager, I predict now.
