The saga rolls on, OGH has his say

Hart said: "I am coming home telling my wife and kids I am basically unemployed at the moment, because I haven't got a contract, so it's worrying times.

presumably if MM goes it will delay the contacts situation still further, nuts

If MM goes, the logistics of finding a new manager and sorting out current players expiring contracts has "Fred Karno's Army" written all over it. If MM was to be sacked it should have been done immediately after the Sheff Weds game imo.

It's really sad to see one of the "veterans" in our team saying that - isnt it is 10th year next year or the year after? He deserves more than this.

Within the next FORTNIGHT. What this means for McGhee I don't know, but it is good news for Gary Hart, Guy Butters, Charlie Oatway etc and therefore good news for us.

Expect a new manager is how I interpret that.

 

[Silent Bob]

Well I think everyone is expecting McGhee to be sacked, I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if we got a new manager in so quickly as we do not usually seem to do things easily.

Not necessarily. Dick Knight will probably decide who's staying, give them new contracts and appoint a manager at the 11th hour after the World cu........

 

[Seagull73]

This is all getting very VERY messy. Personally, for me there aren't too many of those nine that would get new contracts, but then I am not the manager or Chairman so my opinion counts for jack shit.

The issue being is that if the manager goes, it will be the chairman to make the decision about who gets new contracts, and that makes me very uneasy. The chairman is a fan, not a person who can decide which way the club is going to play next season, and I would hate for our budget to be blown on a load of players any new manager might not want...

 

[Scoffers]

there is no way any new manager will have time to review the players in that timescale, so

1) Dick Knight or Hinshelwood will sort it
2) They are keeping MM

Ummmmm

"He's been frustrated and it's frustrating for us. It's a big core of players and look at the squad if all nine of us left. That would leave young kids. It would be like a youth team."

then MM should have been sitting in Block E on Sunday - I'd have shown him a thing or two about "frustration"

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

How do the vehement MM outers, as opposed to those who just want a change, reconcile full support, as many do, to a chairman who feels strongly enough about keeping his manager that he is willing to stand his ground so resolutley. If I wanted MM out as badly as some of you do I'd be questioning the ability of the chairman run the club as I would like it run. Whichever side you are on, this current scenario reflects badly on the club imo.

I've always supported Dick Knight fully; what he's done for the club has deserved that much. However, I'll have to indeed question his regime if McGhee is allowed to keep his job, as, for me, it spells real danger for the club.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

In between Taylor and Hinsh didnt DK offer 3 year deals to Charlie and Chippy and a 2 year to Jones because of their loyalty im sure I remember.

I think if the lardy clown was to go we might be in a similar position.

Good job we've got the internet innit!!

It does seem to have been handled rather poorly, but sure Gary Hart is safe in the knowledge that he's going to get a contract.

I think he's really making the point on behalf of others like Mayo, Chippy and Tank, who could easily find themselves looking for work, and the sooner they know the better chance they have got of finding something else. All three should be able to find a club, but it helps the earlier you start.

 

[Silent Bob]

What was it you said about fans knowing before players 9 times out of 10?

 

[warlingham seagull]

according to DK on SCR the out of contract players will know'within a fortnight'. Seems the decison keeps being put back...

 

[fosters headband]

And a lot of fans call MM a clown?
Well we are seeing just how the Albion works at the top.
Not very good is it?

 

[Don Tmatter]

Good job we've got the internet innit!!

To be honest Race, If Tank decides he's had enough of this Micky Mouse club and leaves, most of us on here wont hold it against him and will always appreciate what he's done for us

Good point players like Tank, Hart and Chippy deserve better, no matter what any individuals views are on whether they should stay or not. The board are behaving incredibly amateruish on this !!!
