Wullie Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Him turning us down twice so recently reflects far worse on us than it does him. He obviously felt Derby County was a better bet, how pathetic is that? He thought Boro was a better bet than us 11 years ago...on the back of 3 top 5 finishes. When was this? Have I missed something?

Wullie Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hmm, according to this, maybe he was: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/footballleague/article2314731.ece Didn't think my opinion of Freddy Shepherd's ability to pick a suitable manager could get any lower but you live and learn.

Minhosa Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 How do we know he didn't 'reject' the role knowing he'd get a pay off and Ashley having to pay nowt. The game is rigged from the off. Bobby Robson rejected the job twice. After Keegan left, and before we came back with an improved offer when he was actually appointed. Bobby Robson was at Barcelona. Steve McClaren was at Derby County. Just let that sink in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It should also be noted that there's a big difference between rejecting the opportunity outright and simply rejecting a derisory salary in negotiation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I find this holiday thing laughable and indicative of everything. He probably asked the club to cover his excess for the holiday and they told him to dance. We flew Tino in on a Saturday morning and he played against Middleborough the same day ffs. This cunt, if he had anything about him, should have made a huge deal of cancelling his holiday and getting stuck into the job but nah, can't miss the last couple of days all inclusive. Cunts.

Guest Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Don't think it makes much difference tbh. I'd imagine a lot of managers are away on holiday now. Makes just as much sense for him to finish his holidays then come in and straight into it than sign then go back on holiday anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 In any case, it's not as if he's choosing who we sign and there'll be no players to work with at the club anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're shite, no need for anyone to bother doing anything out of the ordinary to reverse the situation like. Just me but maybe he could have come back immediately and made a show of it. Come back, review the entire club structure and coaching setup to weed out the shit and identify how to take the club forward. But aye, the players aren't back for a while so why bother?

Just like losing teams full of players complaining about needing rest while winners play 20 games more a season and never mutter a word of complaint you mean? I know, I get it man.
