Wildgoose Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 Have no doubt Adams has applied for the job. He said in the past he'd like to manage us, he knows the area, we're a big club with a bit of money for league 1 but low expectation really, so it's a great job for whoever gets it. Whether the owners rate Adams is something we don't know. I think an appointment will come out of the blue at some point in the next 48 hours, and as usual, it won't be who we think. Yep, I'm with you all the way on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Nelson Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 I notice how little real speculation it is in the media. Since agents leak like sieves in this country, could it be because Oldknow and Cortese are on the continent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 you're joking, right? Peterborough have one of the best chairmen in the league, and probably the best up and coming young manager in the country. They have an incredible strike force of Maclean and Makail-Smith, who scored something like 150 goals between them in the last 2 seasons. They turrned down a bid for Maclean from Wolves last Jan of £5m and bid themselves for an MK Dons player £1m. The 'keeper - Joe Lewis is an England U21 keeper / striker - and is again, one of the best young-uns out there. They own their stadium, and are looking to sell it on for development and build a new one, so theyre going places. Macantony (chairman) had a 5yr plan to be in Prem - that was 3 years ago when they were in the bottom half of League 2.... They are on the up and up and i wont be surprised if they are up there challenging for promotion again this season. Indeed. Plus, you don't actually have to be very good to get promoted from the CCC - Derby, Hull and Burnley did it. If Posh aren't aiming for the play-offs this season they're selling themselves short, imo.

ottery st mary Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 ooohhhh...i dont know! They're in the Championship, were L1 - leagues dont lie! oh, btw, i was born in Peterborough...!!!

If Posh aren't aiming for the play-offs this season they're selling themselves short, imo. very good point. the gulf between the prem and the CCC in terms of quality is massive however, decent managers are able to adapt very quickly brown did massively well last season with Hull as did Pulis one for the football snobs, look how mowbray got on with WBA..!!!

cambsaint Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 I can never see Peter-bog-horror in the Prem. When I lived there in the Cantwell days they were a reasonably well supported minor league team. The surrounding are is very sparsely populated and their catchment area is only Peterbog and Huntingdon. However thanks to Lowe I saw something I never imagined I would see in my worst nightmares-Saints and Peterbog swapping leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 very good point. the gulf between the prem and the CCC in terms of quality is massive however, decent managers are able to adapt very quickly brown did massively well last season with Hull as did Pulis one for the football snobs, look how mowbray got on with WBA..!!! I agree! The one style I want to see Saints play next season is "winning style". Last season's propaganda stuff really hacked me off with the excuses that we played good football etc etc etc. We kept losing FFS!! Ideally you want to win playing decent stuff but let's get the winning part right first and if it has to be direct, percentage football, so be it.

Matthew Le God Posted 13 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 13 July, 2009 I notice how little real speculation it is in the media. Since agents leak like sieves in this country, could it be because Oldknow and Cortese are on the continent? Maybe its because we are a League One club and the press aren't bothered with us as much compared to when we were in the Premiership. More likely however that the process is just being deliberately kept secret and Oldknow and Cortese are very professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Wise and Poyet together - no reason they couldn't get us into the play offs next season.

CB Fry Posted 13 July, 2009 Share Posted 13 July, 2009 Remember "we will walk this league" when we dropped into the C/ship? And remember what happened? Keep counting those chickens:o Well, I never said that when we got relegated to the CCC. But if Sheffield Weds, Forest, Man City, Leicester and QPR can do it, and Leeds can make the playoffs in their two seasons down here (one of which on minus fifteen), then I can see no reason why we can't. People thinking we are going to "do a Luton" are far more deluded than people thinking we will actually do well in this league. When we dropped into the CCC we were up against clubs of a similar size to us - from Wolves to West Brom to Sunderland to Ipswich to Derby to whoever. It was never going to be easy. When we dropped into the CCC we are up against Yeovil and Swindon, Colchester and Southend. Some people don't like to hear it but we are bigger than those clubs.
