Wassall will not be appointed Manager

[swaledale]

A little snippet which I heard from someone who should know, that the next manager has been identified, it will surprise most people (he will not be any of those mentioned) and whatever happens this season Wassall will not be appointed on a permanent basis.

I'll give you a little snippet, if your going to pretend to be in the know, say something at least half interesting. In other words if you're going to lie, lie big.

ha ha I wondered how long it would take for you to pop up! Not sure why I would follow your advice, whats the point of pretending to be ITK? I never have, just pass on info which I consider has some validity, if you don't think so fair enough.

Seeing as there has been much speculation that Wassall will end up being appointed full time, I thought I'd save people f

Quique Sanchez Flores has left Watford. Probably not on Mels list but I would really love him to come to DCFC, either in Championship or PL.

Not saying he is the guy, but If the next manager is at a club, then presumably he will be able to leave now? So not inconceivable, though Watford seem to change managers on an annual basis.

'Watford seem to change managers on an annual basis'....methinks more like on a whim!! Though it seems to have worked so far lol. ****..l have clearly kept Wenger for about....20 years too long!!

Though I guess we would be happy with a couple of FA Cups and top 4 in the prem? I guess its what one gets used to or comes to expect?

Mind you perhaps thats the future? Short term managers? Seems to have worked with Sunderland - one to avoid relegation from the prem or promotion to it, then another to get you mid table then one to win the league!

DCFC under Mel is already operating the policy of frequently changing managers. We've had 3 in 12 months and it will be 4 when Wassall is replaced after the play off final.

Ah yes I forgot about you Rog, so who do you think the next manager will be, i want to put a crafty tenner on your suggestion![/quote]

Slightly exaggerated imo, Vanders...technically McClaren was sacked before Mel took over I believe and Wassall has only ever been appointed as an interim, so under Mel, whatever happens, only Clement will have actually been sacked, for reasons that are still shrouded in intrigue.

Anyway Flores would be my first choice now, followed by Rowett...especially if we don't go up. Hope Wassall gets a decent position and the opportunity to develop. Bit wary of RR's Dieter Hecking prediction if he really did get it right last season...seems he might be a bit of an under the radar ITK...Roger, not Hecking, who I have to admit I'd never heard of.

[swaledale]

Sacking McClaren was one of Mel's first decisions!

I can't see it being Flores, but one never knows and deffo not Rowatt.

[Mickleover_Ram]

Do people really want Flores? The guy has had 8 clubs in 11 years with the longest he has been at a club being 2 years. This to me tells a story. Do we really want him here?? It wasn't long ago some on here were calling for Adkins to be the next Derby manager, just seen he has been sacked again too.

I know it's one of the things we don't see eye to eye on Swale but McClaren had, at the very least, made his position completely untenable by the time Mel took over.

Anyway, back to what really matters for now...COYR.
