Guest zicomartin Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 It doesnt matter if Vieira comes or not. He outscored McClaren 93% to 7% in the Chron's poll, as a complete managerial novice. So if we hire the other idiot, and he is unpopular, they cant say they were not warned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 This Vieira stuff is just being used by both parties for their own gain. I don't think it's anything to do withPR by the club but I think it's all to do with flushing McClaren out and driving down any wage demands or control demands that he may have by having a potential rival for the job. Vieira gains by having his stock raised and putting pressure on his current employers to give him a more powerful role, potentially the managers job at City. Or to flush out any other job offers as a manager at other clubs. Also, Sky gain by punters spunking a few sheets on SkyBet. He's not coming here.

Ally Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The Sky Sports / Sky Bet situation surely must be looked at by Ofcom or whoever is the regulatory body. Not saying it's the case with Vieira, but there is nothing stopping them putting some rumours out on a slow news day and raking in the bets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Alongside advertising, I'd imagine Skybet to be Sky's biggest revenue stream. There's just no way they're able to pay such obscene amounts of money for the PL rights from subscriptions. It's clear as day that they would do anything to get people popping over to Skybet once they've heard any bit of news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than one news outlet reported on this and I'm sure more than one bookie has made money from it. Sky Sports make up shit all the time, as do most other news sources,especially when it comes to football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC_Chris Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Putting us aside for a moment, I think it'd be a big mistake for him to take that role at Fenerbache.

EthiGeordie Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 What if Vieira was their first choice from the beginning. Obviously he can not manage in January as he didn't have the coaching badges. They tried to find out if they get special approval. (Charney was saying in the next week we will know for sure if we get our guy or not in January) it was not to be and they gamble with JC. As soon as the he got the badges last week the talk and hopefully the appointment this week will be proceed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
