John Terry would be an interesting appointment although our Lefty/Liberal types will have a collective nappy shit and block his appointment no doubt

I'd take Terry. I didnt like him as a person but his connections would be brilliant and the players would look up to him.

I think Webjam is meant to be that Lurker and you can't stop leaks if people want to do it. But what I'm asking for should be general knowledge to all fans "we hope to arrange interviews in the week of November 19th, with a possible second round at the end of that week. We'd hope to negotiate a contract by the end of the month but that is of course provisional timing. Dave Bassett will be assisting Erik and ???? in the interview process". What needs to be secret about that?

John Terry lives local,perfect club to start his management career,wages could be subsidised by Chelsea whilst he does his apprenticeship with us.like an on loan manager😂😂

Hash, depends on why he's interested, as a first step into management he might be more than willing to do something for peanuts to get himself on the radar of other clubs. (Never know he might want to play a bit as well, since he'll probably insist on wearing the full kit all match anyway).

OI @09:26 this is where a DT closed group on some structure, be it OS, FB, Tw@tter or whatever would be better. If you can only access as a DT member and it is made clear that passing information outside of the group is membership removed you can at least start to discuss things with the wider audience.

If you want loyalty get a manager with ties to the club, if you don't want a manager with ties to the club don't expect loyalty, it is a job FFS, would you stay in your current job over a better job or salary out of loyalty to somewhere that is merely where you've worked for 12 months??

Tiki @7:42 from what I can see Bassey's record as w2 l2 so not sure that would be an acceptable record this time around to get the job.

Even if Terry was somehow for the sake of argument interested wouldn't he want about 150k a week

Well he'd have contacts with Chelsea and Villa for players

John Terry apparently interested

Morning all. Hash - there's probably so little money being put on that particular market that even just 50p would shorten anyone's odds right now

I'm expecting a new manager with a Chelsea connection😂

Harry Redknapp out of the running then ;)

I realise we can't expect to be told who has applied but an open transparent policy would be to tell us the projected timescales of an appointment and who on our side will be involved in the decision making.

Presumably once they have actually interviewed some people.

It won't be Garrard or Edinburgh as we'd have to pay compensation. They wouldn't even apply as we'd have to ask permission to interview them which would get them into trouble if they didn't get the job.

It's still only been one day and I suspect it's largely guess work from the bookies at the moment. I'm sure things will get more interesting towards the end of the week

Of course managers don't show great loyalty as players don't because clubs don't show loyalty to them either these days. If I was the new manager, which thankfully for all I'm not, I'd ask for a contract to the end of the season. Keep this lot up and I'll be in demand, fail marginally and Ardley will get the blame and I'll be offered a contract anyway.

Again Hardon absolutely spot on

Please, not Luke Garrard or anyone else who has kissed the Wimbledon badge in the past. We need a professional appointment, not some sentimental bumfest

What has Joe Palmer done to you Tiki? I don't know if he is great or not but pretty hard to tell so far. 80%gate was far more the fault of the DTB who shouldn't have just nodded it through but demanded there was consultation first rather than a proposal. It had long been a bee in Erik's bonnet, which should have alerted them.

I reckon Bowyer would be a good choice as he kept Blackpool up in very difficult circumstances. I am never sure how much he had to spend though it does seem obligatory at Blackpool to sack 25 players each season.

If all the potentials on this list the only one whose odds have shortened since yesterday is Luke Garrard [Link]

This is so like when Brown left and the majority realized he had run his time where others wittered on about keep him till Christmas, Easter, the end of the season, eternity. Bassey did alright in his small stint in 2012 and the performances were more cohesive than Brown's and bloody sight more enjoyable to watch that most of Ardley's.
