All New Football Rumours

[4-4-2]

I'd be delighted with Billy Davies as manager.

 

[Redditch Fox]

A definitive statement there Melts.

I guess MM hasn't had the most constructive of dialogues to date with the spiky Scot but how can you be so sure that he wouldn't be tempted by a fat contract?

Any manager or any player will go anywhere providing the money is right. It's just a question of how much needs to be put on the table.

It was as a "tongue in cheek" post after something that Desert Fox posted Yesterday.

I am a firm believer that we aren't just restricted to out of work Managers and Bobby No Name. If the money is right, and the opportunity to become a "hero" is there, it is an excellent chance for a Manager to further boost his CV.

If the Manager is confident in his abilities, this is a great opportunity for anybody.

Had your interview yet :icon_lol:

Yes, but they made the comparison to the Brian Clough/England job.

I took that to mean that they thought I was too good for the position.

Fantastic stuff today. :icon_razz

Darren Ferguson new Leicester City manager.
Announcement at latest on Friday
He thinks the potential is bigger at the Walkers then the posh.However, Knowing Milan, has stipulated that within the contract will be a Clause that states all footie decisions are his.

Anyway big moves out for City:
Howard–Wolves–1 million
Fryatt–Forest–500 k
Mccauley–Ipswich–1.7 million (has a Clause which states he can move for 750 k. does not come into play until last year in contract or Premier League team comes in. )
Oakley–Coventry–500 k
DJ Campbell–Watford–1.2 million
Clemence–Palace–500 k
James Chambers–Forest–150 k
N'Gotty–Norwich–50 k

Kishishev, Jonny Hayes, Sheehan, Henderson all either released or sold for small amount.

Expect Stearmen, Mattock, Gradel, Dodds and Hellings etc. all to stay and the latter to get more of a chance after discussions with Ferguson.

In
Joe Lewis £2.1 million + add ons
Tamika Mkandwire 100 k
Danny Livesey 125k
David Gray 50 k Man United youngster
Aaron Mcclean £1.3 million + add ons

How does that work then? Ipswich aren't prem and he's under contract until 2011

I think you're taking the words of morons too seriously.

I think they are saying h can leave for 750k in the last year of his contract, or if a premier team comes in for him. Hence Ipswich would have to pay our asking price of £1.7 million. Not saying its true but the logic follows!

Thought that actually that, that rumour page was more believable than most! Apart from the bloke with the made up name near the bottom!

Found him!

 

[Biff]

I'd be delighted with Billy Davies as manager.

Have to agree. My first choice, with maybe Grayson second pick :icon_cool

 

[Redditch Fox]

I think any rumour machine that can predict nigh on £3m receipts for a combination of DJ, Howard & Fryatt could just lack a little credibility.

If we can scratch together more than £1m for the three of them then it will be a bonus. I realise that it's just a matter of time before someone posts that one or all of them will be scoring goals "for fun" in the 3rd Division - but now we have got rid of hapless 'Ollie' the next requirement alongside a new manager is to start a severe cull of our misfiring strikers who along with bad management secured our relegation. More blood needs to be spilled!

Possibly, but if by some miracle we got Davies then at least one of the reasons for him coming here would be to get the best of Howard and Oakley.

 

[Graz]

I know they're just rumours, but being linked with Billy Davies, Simon Grayson, Darren Ferguson and Ince etc is making me feel better. They're the favourites with the bookies too it seems, and I'd be happy with any of them. Be good if we can get one of them in.

Should have got one of them in in Nov.

Agree Graz, i'd take any of those tbh. Probably with Paul Ince being my personal favourite, even though i hated him as a player.

Ince would be my first choice too. Probably followed by Davies.

They misfired in the Championship for sure. But they've all scored plenty of goals in the past at the level we're now at.

Possibly, but if by some miracle we got Davies then at least one of the reasons for him coming here would be to get the best of Howard and Oakley.

You beat me to it! Was going to make that point myself.

 

[The Old Fox]

I really do not want to be negative, but talk is cheap. Let's see who actually becomes our next manager before getting excited.

 

[highland fox]

Thought that was the idea of the Thread hence the 'Rumours' bit
