Suppose its your definition of a factory. I think joe public think factory is very basic low skill minimum wage jobs, whereas some factories are high tech requiring a high skilled workforce.

[QUOTE=Wirral Red;2205143]Let's face it all this is speculation and none of us has any factual knowledge.[/QUOTE]

It was certainly more than £50k.

No he didn’t, as with Barrow a contract was discussed and agreed but was Signed last week

Pearson signed weeks ago.

So, is it true that Big Den has chosen to become a foreman at a factory on the industrial estate rather than join the reds or not?

I presume he's priced himself out of the job , well hope so anyway , not a clever way to get into management is it , well a big game Tuesday then a good space of time til next league game to find right man .

Has to be Challinor then.

If not Lawrence I’m expecting someone like :

Jussi
Russell
Toshack

I wouldn’t be against Jussi getting it.

Is he interested? if so id be ok with this also

Re: Big Den rejects offer!
 

Looks like he’s seeing out his contract with T/T then joining us.

Above all else our new manager has to; love the club, know the club, love the area.
Nothing else matters.

Would be very happy with Askey or Challinor if Fergie not interested.Not convinced Lawrence would be right so glad he has made high demands

As soon as the speculation was there around Sam, I was getting calls from people in advance of the actual announcement that he was going.

Non negotiable for the new manager to not work with Barrow. Its the strangest scenario I can remember. I really think we need Barrow but non negotiable?

Sounds like we are telling the new Manager that hes not actually the boss, how does that work.

Its strange if they haven't appointed someone and cleared it with him first.

Its a weird way to go about things, I think they wanted to put some good news out there after Ricketts left but in hindsight probably should have waited on this one.

i suppose it is to minimise disruption if/when a manager leaves, which is understandable due to recent events.
Also if we are led to believe the Wrexham job is an attractive job, and GB is as experienced as they come, i don't think it should be too big a hurdle to overcome for interested parties.

Barrow even says he would tell DL what to do, in jest. If it works it works but its very very strange.

Re: Big Den rejects offer!
 

[QUOTE=Alan Attack;2205228]Can you expand on that point[/QUOTE]

Well, we're still in this league for starters, the right man takes us up in my opinion. And both of them couldn't wait to jump ship as soon as another carrot was dangled in front of them. So from that point of view were they the correct choice?

Re: Big Den rejects offer!
 

Is this a case of Chinese whispers.? Did Den want £150K or...did the T&T football federation want £150K to allow him to sign?
I just can't see why Den would have applied knowing that he was going to be demanding that kind of wage. He knows we couldn't afford it.

I agree if it hasn't all been sorted and they're just waiting to announce it.

If they are still interviewing and haven't got their man yet it could restrict who they can get.

It’s bloody frustrating when they don’t see the job through. Both could have been but never gave themselves the chance.

However, who’s to say the next bloke won’t do the same...even Askey!

Unless it's signed and sealed then I just don't get it.

Barrow might be flavour of the month now after telling Ricketts what he thinks of him, but as well all know things can change very quickly at this club.

All it takes is a Davies-like run of bad results and his standing will take a hit.

How much is the Ricketts compo? Surly this ( if enough ) can be used as a signing fee for Big Den?

[QUOTE=Travis Bickle;2205239]How much is the Ricketts compo? Surly this ( if enough ) can be used as a signing fee for Big Den?[/QUOTE]

You cant be serious surely? Compo rumoured to be about 80k. Even if it was 150k, what a waste of money that would be. 150k would be more than enough to bring in a proper striker who can actually find the net, why waste it on someone who is either demanding way too much for the level he'd be managing or a tinpot football federation trying to strong arm us?

Re: Big Den rejects offer!
 

Barrow has only been here 5 months, I’m not sure why we are treating him as though he’s Joey Jones.

Nor me. I think its because someone said he had SR by the throat but if you believe that you'll believe anything. And even if he did, it means nothing really.

It’s as correct a choice as you get in 2018. What Sam did (less so with Keates) was dirty but at some point we have to accept that this is the game now, all the way up to the top. Criticism of not taking us up barely applies in these instances given the timing of their departures. The sheer level of criticism aimed at both men for leaving shows you that both were right for the job.
