Who's it going to be?

[SheldonW65]

3 managers at least have been sacked/resigned since Bond left. Perhaps they've now come into the frame.

I would be very surprised, all will have been on big money and probably have higher ambitions than managing us.

Possibly but having a job is better than not having one.

Ron's obviously been busy recovering some CV's from the shredder and sticking them back together.

Agree it's now beyond ridiculous and that statement being put on the OS and pulled a few hours later speaks volumes.

Which statement was that? I must have missed that one.

Ron Martin new manager

 

[RetroBlue]

Which statement was that? I must have missed that one.

In my brief statement on Monday I said that I would “hopefully this side of the weekend” be able to update you again.

They say that a week in politics is a long time and the same could certainly be said about football!

My ‘daytrip’ to Stockholm was successful insofar as I met Johan… I know supporters like to know who is potentially in the running for not only the management but also the manager's important backroom staff too.

Johan, should Henrik Larsson be appointed, would be a key member… but not the only potential member of that ‘backroom’.

There are two other potential managers in the frame to whom I am attracted but their identity need to be kept under wraps.

I am also meeting one more individual early tomorrow but then that’s it… no more interviews.

I have seen a great number of people over the last two to three weeks and equally shredded a great number of CV’s.

I plan to come to a decision over the weekend and then, subject to settling terms, I would hope that the club’s new manager will be in the hotseat (boiling in fact!) by next Saturday when we play Wimbledon.

When we do formally make that announcement over the coming days I plan to give supporters a bit more background as to the reasons behind some of the discussions held and my reasoning.

On another note, I met with the players prior to training this morning.

To, both, keep them in the loop and also share some thoughts about where we all are.

After all we are in this together, the players, me and the supporters… all I ever want is for everyone to be as one in support of our Club.

Together we can make a difference, divided is destructive… Let’s stay United.

We all recognise the talent and I thank you for maintaining your support of these players, they are good people.

Up the Blues!

Considering himself

 

[tallboyblue]

I can understand Ron taking time to explore all applications. Let’s face it he has got it wrong twice in quick succession and he cannot afford another duff appointment.

If he wants to do that he better call Sol.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Nobody has mentioned Glenn Tamplin.

Local and with managerial experience.

Only if his son can play and we can have a giant mural of Glen portrayed as a god like figure

33 DAYS since Bond was sacked. Rome Burns while Martin sits and does nothing
This would be funny if I didn't support this club why is it taking Ron so long to make a decision.

 

[Callum]

just heard a rumour Barrett maybe not be getting the Millwall job they have someone lined up

Gary Rowett is the name going about.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

What's the bookies odds on nobody being manager? Must be 1/100 now I think surely.

I'm not sure that AB was ever favourite for the Millwall job full time but what last week's events have meant is that he is there at the moment and I am sure has far too much integrity to leave a club up the creek.

If we want him, we'll just have to be patient. The appointment now needs to be the right one rather than a quick one.

In fact, the story about other names now in the frame may well just be a bit of bluster to try and show that we aren't hanging around and also help keep the fans off RM's back.

 

[Dorsetshrimper]

It might be that Ron's decided who, its just that it is taking a long time agreeing the contract.

Morecambe and Wise?
Cannon and Ball?
The Two Ronnies?

If most of the above were still alive I wouldn't rule any of them out.
