[Football] Forest Green - not happy are they...

[Normal Rob]

Speaking to Sky Sports, Forest Green owner Dale Vince said: "Watford advised Rob not to tell us, specifically. That doubles down on the deceit. Deceit is part of a culture that comes from the top."

I assume this means their manager is moving to Watford

Doesn't look good for Watford or Rob Edwards?

 

[BBassic]

He'll be sacked by Christmas.

Guaranteed.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Hasn't he been paying attention?

 

[LamieRobertson]

He'll be sacked by Christmas.

Guaranteed.

Quite long in the job then…I thought maybe October

 

[JBizzle]

Hasn't he been paying attention?

I imagine he's paid close attention to a) the massive pay hike, b) the chance to manage in the championship and c) the huge payout he'll get when he's sacked 8 games into a 3 year contract

This thread needs a poll.

Do they give 3 year contacts? Have THEY been paying attention?

All getting very pissy on WFC forum

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

He'll be sacked by Christmas.

Guaranteed.

But by then he will be known as a Championship rather than League 2 manager. Everyone will know it won’t have been his fault and he will be in line for a proper Championship job.

You’ve cut him some slack. We’re talking Watford here, end of September should do it.

Are you allowed to 'tap up'/speak to a manager that is under contract, without permission of the club they are currently contracted to?

I understood to players you can't, you would need the parent club's permission to speak to the player (as long as the contract has more than 6 months remaining)?
