Next TRFC Manager

[ONIGP]

Shame. Adkins would have been a great fit. At least we have somebody at the helm who we can trust to do the risk/benefit analysis. Next ...

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Disrespectful to the club and the fans. I’d have though a role till the end of the season with a decent bonus for promotion would have been fair. Then, if he succeeded, he could leave and would have polished his cv.

Sounds like he didn’t really want the job and his heart wasn’t in it. It was just about the money. Glad he’s not coming with that attitude.

I'm of th opinion that some out of work managers think there will be a number of vacancies shortly what with the international break in the championship & chairmen with itchy trigger fingers in league 1.

I think it's pushing it a bit to call it "disrespectful" when it appears to be a leak rather than a public statement. And, to be fair, we don't know what other irons NA has in the fire; like anybody else he will trying to achieve the best rewards for his skillset. He doesn't owe Tranmere anything bearing in mind that his relatively short time here was the best part of 40 years ago. Despite rumours that appear to be from a good source, we don't know the ins and outs and probably never will do.

Having said that, the scenario you mention would have been an ideal one from our perspective.

Like ONIGP, I don't attach any blame to Adkins, assuming the rumours are true. He is a proven EPL / Championship manager and, let's face it, he would be doing us a favour by dropping to League Two.

He is just looking after his career which is what any candidate would do, even John McGreal or Ian Dawes.

The ITK poster on the other forum suggested the hopes of getting Adkins had ended a few days ago. If the rumours are true, then the gulf between the parties was too wide to bridge. Adkins would have been a good appointment, but we move on. Maybe one of the big names who've shown an interest on bigmart's information or someone else.

Any further suggestions who these 'big names' are Boz? I was hoping an announcement was going to be made the early part of this week, excited almost!

Sorry, I’ve no idea, mate. Bigmart is aware of the names, but isn’t able to disclose anything.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Sokratis Papastathopoulos are both very big names if that helps?

According to a well informed source on another site, interviews will be this week with the appointment next week.

So, without naming names, do you think we will be happy bigmart?

I dont know who is going to be interviewed just a couple of names who applied for the job.

So would we be happy with them if they were interviewed and got the job? Would either of the people be sensible appointments I suppose. Experienced people with a reasonable cv? We all know it is a bit of a gamble with anyone. Just hoping we do not get stuck with another John Barnes!

I would be happy with either of them.

Not sure they will be appointed though.

Dug this out from the archives..

John Barnes signs contract as manager

Just heard on radio five John Barnes has become our manager. Still nothing on the website, can anyone confirm? This isn't a rumour, definitely happening as we speak.

Seems like the general instinct on here is a correct one, so whoever comes in, I'm listening to you guys! And just for the record, I voted unsure!
