Big Bad Bob Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Lordy, not another one. There were some unimaginative parents kicking about in the 1970s, I'll tell you that. See also: Chris, Dave, Mark etc. Don't you mean the 60s?
SaintRichmond Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I think Sir Les said "In the end, we whittled it down from managers who’ve won trophies, won leagues, won European competitions, had vast experience of playing in the Champions League and European cups and so on" Whittled it down " from " He doesn't say that what they ended up with were any that had " won trophies, won leagues, won European competitions, had vast experience of playing in the Champions League and European cups and so on " Going on what calibre or status of Manager many on here are banging on about, I still think "we" are in for a collective shock A lot of people think SFC is a "dream" ticket for someone. Well, the "dream" died when Markus's 5 year plan ended I don't think it is a very good dream now, and perhaps most of the Quality Managers think the same
Doctoroncall Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 I know what time the cricket, football and golf is on. But what times is the bashing one out meant to happen? So there is going to be synchronised bashing one out... well at least the same start time?

Well, the "dream" died when Markus's 5 year plan ended I don't think it is a very good dream now, and perhaps most of the Quality Managers think the same About right for the first part, what he says in his word jumble is that we've had few applications from people who at some time in their career have done well at football. Doesn't say how or when. He also talks of a list of potential managers who've been scouted in the past, do you thnk Mancini would have been on that list or Ranieri, doubt it, neither is young or up and coming really. So you then have to decide whether our manager elect will be from the scouted list or from the straightforward applicants, not so many clues as to that really. Basically it was just another wait and see gabfest. Didn't listen myself because I have a particular aversion to estuary accents. Edited 13 June, 2014 by Window Cleaner
Dig Dig Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Pal of mine is insistent that it will be Christian Gross. Usually fairly reliable. Just chucked £20 on him with Bet Fred. ****ing hope not!

Keep it up.
angelman Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Admin/mods Can you put an ITK rating next to certain posters, as I am finding it hard who is talking complete and utter bull**** and who might know what's what. As that is the case, I treat everything as bull****, except Guan.
SW5 SAINT Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Bothwell As in the husband of of Mary Queen of Scots?
Saint Rees Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Next boss is Ronald Koeman. Excellent, thanks for the info.. any idea on when he'll be announced? Early next week I assume?
saint_ed Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Next boss is Ronald Koeman. Thanks KBS. All in all a good appointment, though yet to succeed at this level. I'm quietly confident though we're the right club for him to make his mark. I'm guessing an imminent announcement now one of our ITK's has been allowed this information.
SaintRichmond Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 The usual swivel - eyed drivel, only with the added bonus of showing you are too dumb to understand the meaning of the phrase "whittle it down from". Keep it up. Insults as usual And YOU can't see that "whittling it down from" does NOT necessarily mean that the ones that are left are the ones that have " won trophies etc etc " God, you'd be a walkover negotiating for a pay rise I bet ??? ( I'm assuming you are old enough to work ?? ) Let me know if you are pleased with the Top Manager Sir Les has got. Perhaps the hold up in paperwork is because the new man can't write ? Who knows

Who knows If you whittle a piece of wood in order to make a wooden cocktail stick would you expect the final piece to be made of wood or custard?
Window Cleaner Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Still evens at Paddy Power....fill your boots. Probably some lag time on the quoted odds, we'll see if it goes down suddenly or gets suspended at any time soon.
Badger Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Next boss is Ronald Koeman. Is KBilly a known 'ITK' ? Pleased if true.
CB Fry Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 If you whittle a piece of wood in order to make a wooden cocktail stick would you expect the final piece to be made of wood or custard? Don't bother. He has no understanding of the phrase. It's kinda sweet and sad at the same time.
Saint-Reece Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Is KBilly a known 'ITK' ? Pleased if true. yep I believe he has the same source as Guan possibly????
Faz Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 If you whittle a piece of wood in order to make a wooden cocktail stick would you expect the final piece to be made of wood or custard? Good man, that has made my day.
Toon Saint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Next boss is Ronald Koeman. A lovely 28th birthday present K Billy! Great news.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 RK as low as 3/10 now Probably because everyone on here has just lumped on!
Ohio Saint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 went large on Koeman yesterday for a reason...! Chronic gambling addiction?
SaintRichmond Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 If you whittle a piece of wood in order to make a wooden cocktail stick would you expect the final piece to be made of wood or custard? Answer Wood, but what quality and strength would be left ?
JxgrSaint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Got £40 on at 8/15 but betting's suspended on William Hill now...
charliemiller Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Yep shortening all over the place down to 2/7 now
SaintRobbie Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Next boss is Ronald Koeman. Phew! Thanks for clearing this up. I've been wondering who it would be.
Ohio Saint Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Koeman is old news already, I'm just here to pick up tips on how to make cocktail sticks now.
Goatboy Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Answer Wood, but what quality and strength would be left ? If it were me I would whittle away all the bits with splits, knots, inherent weaknesses etc and make a quality cocktail stick. If you want to get rid of all the good bits and keep the kindling, you crack on.
Window Cleaner Posted 13 June, 2014 Posted 13 June, 2014 Club will be announcing it soon then I expect, probably hunting down KBilly's source as well.
