16.00 June 7th statement by KLD.

'Understand'..... Craig Hope, Daily Mail. Etc

Still backs up my original point about chasing Still for months only to be palmed off.
So the search for an alternative has only been ongoing for weeks.

Regardless if he supposedly agreed or not, we put all our eggs into one basket, without having an alternative lined up.

You are making a number of statements that you seem to consider to be facts when the reality is that no one on this board has a clue as to what the process has been. No one knows who they e spoken to. No one knows when they spoke to them.
Fair enough, have your opinion but that’s all it is. An opinion of a pissed off message board member.

How do you know that when we are on the verge of appointing someone else two weeks later?

You even say he “palmed us off” but yet that is apparently the clubs fault?

See the same bloke was quickly appointed at Lens, oh wait he hasn’t been….,,,,,,,,

Ah, what is your source? I'm not sure we had all eggs in one basket, but you may know something I don't.
 
I wish it were Knutsjen, I've watched his side a couple of time over here and i really like what I see.

Apparently got a very good deal going on, which probably explains why he hasnt taken the next step yet.

It was a club briefing which is why several people ran the same story. And with the way he is with the media if it was untrue about him accepting the job he would have denied it.

I do agree though they went after Still for far too long but I think it’s because they actually thought he would sign in the end. If Lens had not made the offer I’m sure he would have already been appointed here

Probably dodged a bullet in the end?

If he was the man they wanted they had weeks before the lens job even became available to get sorted. Other clubs have sacked on got their man in within a week or two. We were taking basically a month. If we were that far apart in agreeing terms for that long they should have moved on as it would never work due to the level of concessions both sides would have to make

Chasing a bloke for over 6mths.....get the hint if it's taking that long and move on.

I’ve wanted Still since December but honestly if we get Jansen I’ll be glad we’ve not got him. He’d have been a ticking time bomb ready to complain to the media the second something wasn’t going his way.

I’ve already said on here a few time I think Lens will be his downfall
 
I think it’s a shame we went for Still over Maric if it’s true we’d got to the point of offering the job, think he’ll prove to be a great coach. I think Still will be good too but strikes me as someone that will never have a great relationship with his club directors.

Bloke can't win.

The amount of fannies complaining about anything coming from the club about the recruitment process, yet as soon as something is rekeased, it's not good enough.

This board man 😂😂

Here's another one of the Drooling Happy-Clapping Soft-Shites throwing the "fanny" slur around. It's weird how it's the Pro-Regime Droolers that use that one....

Hey, Soft-Shite, you missed off 'Bed Wetters'.
 
Our lass (nor) said "when are you cutting the grass". I said imminently. Didn't go down well - I'll be getting the lawn mower out the morra. Mind interesting it didn't come from Speakman.
