    It would be mad if Kewell was installed as manager - his only qualification seems to be that he's Australian. He doesn't have any connection to our club and doesn't have a record of success as a manager.

    I could care less about whether a new manager has any "connection to the club." I think this silly policy has set back English football for ages. I want the best qualified and most likely to do well for the job we are hiring for. English football is the only place where fans want ex-players to run their clubs even though data is overwhelming that such has no bearing on success as a manager.

    Now, as to the point "he has no record of success as a manager"... on that I agree.

    But how much would you pay for a good manager is the question on everyones lips?

    For revealing his other job, I have been blocked. Must be worried he is going to get in repremanded for moonlighting..

    It's COULDN'T care less... The only Americanism that makes my blood boil because their way makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    Didn't someone once famously quip something like, "Britain and the USA: Two nations separated by a common language"?

  • Pretty sure I heard a new party threw their hat into the ring last week hence the delay. DD is ongoing. Roly just wants as much as he can possibly get.

    yeah someone posted that but whether its correct or not who knows.

    Well that might be the case but nobody seems to want to pay what Roly wants. It seems obvious that Roland will have told all interested parties what he expects to get for the club, the prospective buyers do their DD and make a counter offer and that seems to be where it ends. Nobody is paying over the odds and who can blame them?

    So this latest episode may well end in nothing once again because the new party may look at the books and the other information that DD will show and realise he is off his rocker and is massively over-pricing the club because he wants to recoup some of the millions he has wasted over the years. With the Aussies being patient with a firm offer, it seems this could go on for months as new investors try their luck.

    Given our recent history I could well understand why a new owner would want to appoint a manager who has some affinity with the club to help reunite the supporters and start the healing process.

    Obviously the ability to manage the team and win promotion and make a fist of the championship would be the overriding consideration, but in Kewell we don’t appear to have either.

    The longer the takeover takes, and IF Bow is still winning games, the stranger the decision would be - and the pressure would be significant and the time he would be given will be considerably less. Especially if Bow is still at the club.

    If Bow is still winning, the best thing they could do is nothing.
  • Any truth in this... or is he just blowing out of his ear ?

    Just as well the houses are cheap, I'd have to take a 80% pay cut if I worked anywhere other than our Capital.

    Not always true. I got a 25% pay rise when I moved from working in central London to Leeds. Cost of living is a lot cheaper too. So many myths about living and working outside of London.
    That 25% was a compensation increase.
