ottery st mary Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Good luck to him in the future....Always thought he tried his best...Just not good enough for The Mighty Saints.
um pahars Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Sounds as though Van Stee is about as happy with Wotte as Poortvliet was when he left!!!!!
trousers Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 We we get any compensation? His contract with us ends on 1st July (?correct?) so I make the compensation figure £1.87
Glasgow_Saint Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Dutch coach Mark Wotte has agreed to a second spell in charge of last season’s Egyptian title contenders Ismaily. Brazilian Ricardo decided to leave the club last month, despite a successful season with the Dervishes, allowing for the return of Wotte after he briefly led the team in 2006 before departing for family reasons. "Wotte will arrive in Ismailia on Monday to finalize talks with the club," the club’s general manager Abdul-Rahman Anous told FilGoal.com. Wotte was in charge of troubled English side Southampton last season, but could not prevent them from being relegated to League One, essentially the third tier of English football

Glasgow_Saint Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 If correct one would assume that Pinnacle have thanked him for all his efforts and offered him the Academy job at best then ! He was manager at Ismaily before so a return seems true. Good luck to him if true.
Paul Chuckle Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 fair play to Wotte for not leaving us in the **** and sorting out preseason schedule and talking to players etc. He could have walked end of season. I think he worked and tried hard and had we had him in charge all season who knows what might have happened. Good luck Mark!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 More........ Mark Wotte has reached an agreement with Ismaili to become their coach for a second stint, the club's general manager said on Thursday. Reports suggested that negotiations between the Dutchman and Ismaili reached a dead end due to a disagreement over a clause in the contract. Wotte demanded to get commissions on every player the club sell, a request that was not accepted by several board members. But the matter has been resolved, Abdul-Rahman Anous said without giving more details. "Wotte will arrive in Ismailia on Monday to finalize talks with the club," he told FilGoal.com. The 48-year-old coached the Dervishes for a brief spell in 2006 before departing for family reasons. He is set to take over at Ismaili from Brazilian coach Ricardo, who did not extend his one-year contract despite guiding the team to a second-place finish in the Egyptian Premier League.
St Chalet Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Good luck Mark, thanks for acting professionally in difficult times.
Colinjb Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Say what you want about him, but I genuinely believe he gave it 100% here, and I don't think that can be said about some of our more recent managers. Best of luck to him.
Saint Charlie Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Say what you want about him, but I genuinely believe he gave it 100% here, and I don't think that can be said about some of our more recent managers. Best of luck to him. Agreed
St Paul Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Say what you want about him, but I genuinely believe he gave it 100% here, . So did Branfoot.
paris Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 I second that ... Good luck Mark, thanks for acting professionally in difficult times.
NickG Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 if this is true, and this has been in the offing for a while he has been very professional in the work he has done pver last few weeks supporting players etc. Best of luck.... ...calling Mr Tisdale!
thorpie the sinner Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Thing is, Wotte was in the pink today asking where he stood! he is talking about coming back Monday and wanting to know if he will be carrying on and what to tell players etc!!
Weston Super Saint Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 LOL. Wouldn't it be ironic if we announced we knew nothing about our manager being appointed
thorpie the sinner Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 LOL. Wouldn't it be ironic if we announced we knew nothing about our manager being appointed that mere fact has got to be worth 1 million euros in compensation lol!
St Chalet Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 The general rule of thumb for compensation is to buy out remainder of managers contract at the salary paid. Based on the belief he is on the same £60k as Portvliet then I make it about £2.5k compensation.
Mowgli Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 I doubt anyone at Staplewood will miss Wotte. Way off the mark apparently.
Weston Super Saint Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 that mere fact has got to be worth 1 million euros in compensation lol! And he should pay it himself
Window Cleaner Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 that mere fact has got to be worth 1 million euros in compensation lol! what for 17 days?
NickG Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 I doubt anyone at Staplewood will miss Wotte. quite respected by several players I hear.
stardustonmyfeet Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Way off the mark apparently. I thought they all hated 'Mr Chocolate'?
NickG Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 what for 17 days? think he has at least another year on his contract
hypochondriac Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 If true then the takeover seems more official. Surely he wouldn't agree anything until he is certain that the MLT lot are taking over?
Saint Martini Posted 13 June, 2009 Author Posted 13 June, 2009 If correct one would assume that Pinnacle have thanked him for all his efforts and offered him the Academy job at best then ! There's also a quote from Wotte himself saying he won't move until he has clarity from the eventual new owners.
Wade Garrett Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Good news if true. A competent Southern League manager would have done a better job than Wotte and JP last season.
St Marco Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 This is probably the best news we have heard for awhile. Not because the guy was out of his depth, not because the guy got us relegated etc etc but because it means the club can now be 100% pulling in the same direction. If things go wrong in division 3 people would say the ghost of Lowe's errors past lives on in Wotte being manager etc. But now the club can fully start a fresh. It was obvious he would not have been kept on, his record speaks for itself, a record that is very poor. So goodluck Mark, hope it works out for you there. But you must take part of the blame for us being where we are and thats why im sure most people will be glad you have gone.
Tac-tics Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Wotte did a good job wiith his eyes closed and his hands tied behind his back, I still think he gets more stick than deserved. I wish him the best, St Marco gives a good shout re: lowes errors past lives. One thing I am confussed about is it says they expect Wotte to be in Eygpt on Monday, he says he'll be at staplewood Monday.
VectisSaint Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 quite respected by several players I hear. Well thats yet another reason to get shot of Wotte. Our under-achieving players who got us relegated respect him, says it all really.
St Paul Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Wotte did a good job wiith his eyes closed and his hands tied behind his back, I still think he gets more stick than deserved. . If that was a good job, I'd hate to see a bad one.
Fan The Flames Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 I'm very glad if true, I don't rate the bloke or like him.
saintbletch Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 We we get any compensation? I fully expect Wotte to buy himself out of his current contract. The Egyptian job marks a twice in a lifetime opportunity that he just can't turn down. Thanks for trying Mark.
bjk Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 http://www.thedailynewsegypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=22341 Good luck to him.
scotty Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 I'm trying hard to give a f**k, but Im not quite getting there.
SaintRobbie Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 I'm trying hard to give a f**k, but Im not quite getting there. lol!
SaintRichmond Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 http://www.sportwereld.nl/voetbal/eredivisie/3286382/Wotte_en_Van_Stee_vechten_om_Ismaily.html As it says in the title. He's one of the final two candidates. Wotte ????? .... has the Toilet attendant outside of the Giza Pyramids retired ????? .... Mind you, in the "Pink" he claims not to know what's going on ....... so he's just like one of us after all ......
saints_is_the_south Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Picked up the pink in tesco earlier & he was qouted as saying he was becoming a bit fed up with the take over saga & that him, the coaching staff & players needed to know now where they stood ahead of pre-season so this news doesn't come as a surprise after reading that. Have to say, i quite like him for the passion & genuine care he has for Saints & would appear he's been working hard this summer already, still i think a change of direction is needed & a clean sweep of the Lowe era so he should go.
ottery st mary Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Wotte ????? .... has the Toilet attendant outside of the Giza Pyramids retired ????? .... Mind you, in the "Pink" he claims not to know what's going on ....... so he's just like one of us after all ...... He has given some the impression he didn't know what was going on all season.....I blame JP and Rupes for not trying to enlighten him about this beautiful game.
Belgiansaint Posted 13 June, 2009 Posted 13 June, 2009 Like him or not, his professionalism was unquestionable. He did not leave the sinking ship. Good luck to him.
