Nicky Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 A lot of people seem to be overlooking the fact that Ashley wanting to sell now could leave us in a big pile of shit manager wise. If the sale takes weeks/months, will we even get a manager? Will he bother? Will he care who he gets in? I know it feels like the football side of things is secondry at the moment, but what on earths going to happen manager wise? Or will he think fuck it and get Keegan back in with whatever demands are neccessary? He is listening to us, after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Now that we know Ashley wants to sell, how are we going to get a new manager? 9 hours without a reply, and you decide to do it at the same time as me. Bah! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I wasn't too bothered about who we brought in but we need to fill the void ASAP to try and stop this daily bloodletting. We need to appoint a manager and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It'll more than likely be Houghton as care-taker until a new owner is found. No-one would be mad enough to take the job on a full-time basis knowing the club is to be sold and they probably won't be the new owners 1st choice.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Now Ashley's shafted us by saying he's gone if he can find a buyer we won't get a new manager as there is no job security. Is there any chance we could get a proper caretaker manager/coach on a short term basis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrette Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Indeed, I can only hope Ashley sells as soon as possible so we can get a new man in. No manager in their right mind would come to us now when the owner wants out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he cares enough about the club to sell it to the right people. If that takes a little longer, then so be it. I'd rather have short term turmoil and uncertainty than a long term future under the wrong people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does nobody else think that maybe, just maybe, he isn't going to sell, but he's put out this statement in the hope that it will get people off his back and it will all eventually blow over.
