He may have rejected the offer?

He may have rejected the offer?
They haven’t filled their club vacancy yet for a student.
Things take time. They will be doing the legals right now. Why the rush anyway, does it really matter?
You have no idea about how good he will be.
Would be sensible to ensure no news output until a done deal but I guess they cannot prevent people at Bournemouth talking. Still a bit embarrassing for the club though.

I don’t trust Ling at all if this is the best we can doBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 3:41 pm So Ling has gone for a bloke who hasn’t managed in years and wasn’t good enough to manage an u23 team so they created an unnecessary role to keep him occupied. In Ling we trust.
It is really. It’s our BIG announcement after a month of searching etc through 40 applicants yet, assuming it’s true, a local rag spills the beans. Hard to control I know but embarrassing none the less if it turns out to be him.Red_Army wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 3:38 pmNot really.PoundhillO wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 3:23 pmExtremely embarrassing for the club, being the last to give the news !
What a load of absolute rubbish. We are not appointing a manager for the thrill of it. Who cares if the press have got there first? What is important is the outcome of the appointment.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 3:44 pmIt is really.

Personally I still hope the rag has got it wrong.

Who knows, maybe the club have leaked it to 'soften' the reaction once it is announced.
So our board feel the need to leak the announcement to soften the reaction. Bloody hell, what a statement of failure.Red_Army wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:10 pmWhat a load of absolute rubbish.

You are absolutely correct but what percentage of rookie managers have managed that ?Wally Banter wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:15 pm Didn't we have a rookie manager who took us from the bottom end of League 2 to promotion once, in his first manager role? Martin Something...?

Few, but it’s a fair observation. Maybe that’s what ling is thinking.PoundhillO wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:23 pmYou are absolutely correct but what percentage of rookie managers have managed that ?Wally Banter wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:15 pm Didn't we have a rookie manager who took us from the bottom end of League 2 to promotion once, in his first manager role?

Couldn’t agree more !Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:41 pm How bloody disappointing is that! For me anyway. It all goes back to this Dof position, and the Ling influence. I said it years ago that he would never choose anyone with a bit of character and experience. Protecting his own position is all that concerns him. I've hardly ever heard of the bloke. Gutted.
I was just hypothesising, but it would be a good strategy given how embarrassing certain sections of our support can be.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:14 pmSo our board feel the need to leak the announcement to soften the reaction.
