Why does a job legally need to be advertised? Surely its up to a company to advertise or not?

I would have assumed you were right. I can't remember the vacancy for another coaching position being advertised, I just thought Knill asked for his mate Chris Brass to be brought in. If a club needs a centre forward they can sign the particular player they want without advertising the vacancy to all centre forwards up and down the country.

If we need to employ a couple of centre backs we could offer the jobs to out of contract Brian Saah and Aaron Downes without advertising the vacancies or accepting other applications.

be patient, it will happen by the weekend, things to be sorted his end.

Why is there no news of Tintin's appointment?


"You want me to be your new what? F*ck off, I'm on holiday. Call me next week and we'll talk."


There you have it then.

*Theoretical situation*
An out of work manager, let’s call him Mr X, is approached by a football club in the sh*t. He is told, if you can come in and save us from relegation, the permanent job is yours at the end of the season. Not unthinkable.

Mansell wants it sorted . . . . . .

If/when Tintin officially gets the job, his first task will be?

In some cases it will be hauling tin, in others pushing it.

A great deal of it needs pushing.

Agreed Brucie, for me the club would not have ran the risk of sacking Ling if a verbal agreement had not already been in put in place with Alan Knill.

Why would they risk employing any other manager who does not know the squad with the amount of players out of contract and a retained list required ASAP? I think it is and always was going to either be Martin or Alan, someone along the line decided to go with Alan, and I, along with many applaud their decisive and quick decision.

However, if this decision and subsequent sacking was done without having a quiet word in Alan's ear either before or shortly after the Bristol Rovers game I would be very shocked! The last thing the club needs right now is 2 weeks without a manager at the helm while we undergo an interview process. As Brucie says I believe the club are trying to leave a respectable amount of time before making the announcement.

If LIng had stayed, how must of the underperforming crap would have been offered new contracts ? We'll never know.Ling was never going to do the retained list, hence the relieved of his duties. Someone other than *Tintin doing the retained list also does not make sense.

If a new manager other than *Tintin comes in, how the hell can they do an assessment of players they have not seen? Of course, there might be someone unknown to us, who covertly has been assessing player performances and has been chosen by the board to step right in to the manager's chair. Do you really believe that? Anything like that would of leaked out of Plainmoor weeks ago (Plainmoor leaks more than a certain poster on here who supposedly has urinary issues).




*Tintin : refer to the picture on page 4 of the matchday programme v Bristol Rovers and the wiki link below.

Your probably right Brucie, Alan Knill would have known what sort of contract Lingy was on, so would have a fair idea what his likely contract offer would be, he would also have known the likely player budget he would working off aswell, if didn't like what he saw, he would have been long since up the motorway.

Wouldn't suprise me if he has already taken it. We are probably not going to sack Ling one minute and with the next breath announce Knill as the manager.
