Managers interviewed in the summer?

[Thunder Bolt]

Utter horse shit.

I've heard both Bloom & Barber say that in fans Q&A so either they're lying....

 

[Icy Gull]

Utter horse shit.

It has always struck me as unlikely but the powers that be insist on it

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Do we know why?

He wanted to bring his own back room staff.

Also (as the rumour goes) had a few players he wanted to bring in on loan, which the club refused to pay the wage percentage of

Carroll, Pritchard and veljkovic (who was on the boro bench today)

Surely they wouldn't just say these things to keep us plebs spending our money and buying tickets? No, that's just me being cynical....

 

[Stuart Munday]

Let the manager pick the players to sign that's all I want, I'm not sure thats happening despite what we are being told.

For now ignore FFP we know the club's spin on everything negative is based around FFP. My original question is why Sammi and not Sherwood or anyone else who was interviewed. Has Bloom got a thing about foreign managers over home grown or was Sammi the best man for the job?

I'm starting to think that we panicked in the summer and signed the only man who man himself available for the job.

Utter horse shit.

This is the thread that Bozza posted yesterday containing info from Paul Barber.
It is there in black & print in the sixth paragraph under finances.

I'm all too aware of what the article says, but I don't necessarily buy into it all.

Do we know why?

wanted to bring in his own backroom staff and have total say on transfers in and out....

Cheapest option after Sherwood and one other told us to do one.

 

[Skylar]

According to Tony Bloom we have a squad to challenge for promotion!!

Tony Bloom knows **** all about the footballing side. He best stick to poker.

Wish we'd gone for the English bloke at Real.

Who told us to "do one" ?

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Nothing concrete but rumoured at the time to be Malky.

 

[Mellotron]

Utter horse shit.

I'm a Gus fan but I find this hard to believe.

Where on earth has this year's budget gone?

We have a team full of loanees, free agents and League One journeymen.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Right. When we were trying to get a new manager / coach (again) in the summer the options on here were being clouded by hysteria, necessity and the betting markets. Now this thread is also being clouded by conjecture. Sticking to purely the betting lists the candidates appear to have been:

Tim Sherwood
Steve Clarke
Paul Clement
Sami

Dave Jones has been mentioned by a couple of people I respect. Nathan may or may not have applied.

Look at those six names in isolation and, well, feel completely underwhelmed. I don't think Sami is up to it. However, off that list, I'd have Clarke as a replacement but it would be like going to an Indian and ordering a mild Chicken Tikka because the alternatives were 'risky high spiced battery chicken'. 'vegetarian dish you've never heard of' and 'appears on every menu'.

I don't think Hyppia is up to it but I don't think we could replace him adequately either.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Any who wanted a say in player transfers wouldn't have got to an interview, meaning the quality was not as high as it could have been....probably.

Yes men only is my guess.

The more I think about it the more I think you are spot on.

No no leave the player recruitment to our other people. He has a really big list. Brilliant

That team that Poyet assembled was very strong. That was our chance.

 

[Icy Gull]

That team that Poyet assembled was very strong. That was our chance.

And yet we are told this year we have the same budget as Gus had. I guess we are going on a ****ing MEGA spending spree in January

 

[Mellotron]

It was strong but I do think some credit for that should go both to Gus's persuasive nature and also the coaching at our club at the time.
