ViewFromT2 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Faria is still in the running too I reckon. Hear that a few people had some very significant bets on that late last week (which explains the price crashing in)....I always believe there to be truth in wacky rumours, in fact the more insane the link, the more smoke there usually is. Faria really is one from left field, won't be surprised if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I imagine in the previous regime they identified someone and brought them straight in without an interview or asking any questions on the managers vision for the club. If we keep hiring managers without identifying a clear football style to go forward with we will be back in this position in a few years time.

Demitri_C Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Celtic wont give us permission to talk to him and he doesn't seem interested either so I can't see it being true I think Henry has been offered the role its just sorting out comp with the Belgian fa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only repeating what Nixon is saying. I'd buy it as it kind of ties in with why there are such vastly differing reports. Some saying Henry is done, some saying we're speaking to Celtic this week. I hope it's done soon so we can crack on and have a couple of weeks for the new manager and players who aren't away on international duty to gel and train.

rodders0223 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I am for giving Henry a shot at the job, but I am not naive. We saw it at Birmingham not long ago, new owners coming in, knowing **** all about football and just hiring someone on the back of a name. If Purslow thinks there is any chance of getting Rodgers and is having to fight to bring an established manager to the club, that is worrying.

The owners do a good job of keeping their cards to their chest, this information would not get out with fear of repercussions. More than likely folks have just jumped on Sunday tabloid rumours and have since tried to backtrack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Rodgers could come here come a cropper - But to me it would be the club showing 'whatever it takes' to get there chosen man. Henry would smack of a high profile appt from a guy who supports Arsenal and watched Henry as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence Smith, Rodgers, the Belgian FA all adamant at the weekend that they haven't been contacted. The paper talk is just that ....talk.

Henry - yes Henry/Terry - yes Rodgers - no for me (tried and tested, old school sort of appointment that we’ve done so many times) With Henry/Terry or Henry and a n other, It’s the fresh approach that appeals to me. Maybe there might be space for Petrov somewhere in the coaching set up, but agree certainly not as a manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2018 I would be quite disappointed if we're just starting the interview process now. I think it's all media guff and Henry is a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I have a feeling there's no 'rift' - not only because 'rifts' sell news, but because Purslow only just turned up, I imagine he discussed finding managers in his interviews with Sawiris and Edens. Matter of hours till they announce Henry IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we do announce Terry Henry today so we can crack on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I wonder what everyone thought of the great Guardiola not knowing Mahrez's awful penalty record? If that had been Bruce it would have been all the usual slurs........ I don't want Henry now any more that I did in the summer when it was circulating, if he is appointed I'll support him obviously but I don't see it working on any level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Just on sky sports news they saying new maanger wont have coaches imposed on them and they can bring who they choose should they not want terry I think terry has potential to add a real something to a back room team and be mental not to it he wants it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
