Ok. Get rid of experience all together from the dictionary. It means nothing at all and people with no experience are in exactly the same position to perform the job as well as those who have experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 4 minutes ago, One For The Road said: Maybe the board have decided he isn't the man for the job. Maybe the feel that now isn't the time for a huge gamble and they want to employ someone they feel is more likely to get us into the play offs this season. I can't see Henry turning us down so if he isn't coming then it's because the board have decided against it. Or that they have decided to accept Arsene Wengers application that is sitting on their desk marked "urgent". Well the board probably have a shortlist and are working through them - Maybe Henry hasn't made the final cut. I really think the search only started in earnest yesterday. Sure Henry was a name in the frame - but the done deal was probably just paper talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Rodgers or Henry I am happy with either to be honest. I think its a win win for us with either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 We could do a lot lot worse than Neil Lennon. I know he rubs people up the wrong way with his personality but he is an excellent manager. Hibs fans will tell you that, even Bolton fans liked him even though it was a basket case when he took over. Got Celtic out of the group stages of CL as well which is no mean feat in itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Maybe Henry sees us as a car crash then if these rumours that he isn't interested are true? wouldn't exactly argue against that sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be part of the problem regarding some of our fans way of thinking . Are we really a giant of a club? Potentially, yes, but we’ve not been a giant since Hitler was a youth. Anyway, it looks like Henry will not be taking the job. Edited October 9, 2018 by Rugeley Villa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how every media outlet 'understands' this after one rent-a-gob comments on it. It all comes from the Redknapp quote. The media know about as much as us.

Can't believe the amount of people letting their judgement get clouded by the " he was a great player " thing. He was. And ?

I don't believe I have said one way or the other ? All I am saying is that JT as manager at this point in time looks a distinct possibility - I also said yesterday I couldn't see why he would take a no 2 role - and feel the need to quit playing to do so. Hence the dream team looked unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
