LS Gone?

Thought i would post this from a Fulham fan that is on the WH boards, he is quite ITK and his stuff to us has been pretty accurate in the past.
Take from it what you will.

Sanchez NOT yet confirmed as sacked, but it's pretty much done. He was on the training ground this morning and a club official went to talk to him. After a discussion, Sanchez stormed off and hasn't been seen since.

John Collins flying down from Scotland this afternoon to meet MAF to confirm installment as manager. Fayed also wants Lee Clark in as a coach with Tigana overseeing things.

No confirmation of any sort of meeting between Tigana and MAF as yet, however.

 

Ohhhh... Rumor mill!

 

Ha. Why is a Fulham fan posting on West Spams boards??

 

Re: RE: LS Gone?

that is a very, very valid question.

 

'Gulli-Bull' bait in oh so many ways...

Tigana? HTH does he keep coming up?

Like MAF is the sort who wakes up one morning and phones him up and says: 'Bygones!"

 

According to clubcall, Fulham are denying the rumour but it's not exactly a Shermanesque statement: "There are rumours but that's all they are. There has been no managerial change at the club." For LS's sake, I hope he's renting...

 

I would hope that Fulham are going to put out some money for some experience and a track record of success. I know that the club is small and they try to get up and comers, but seems like it might be worth the money considering the plans to expand the stadium - Wouldnt a drop kill those plans?

 

I'm not sure why the club would issue a statement to clubcall of all places, but if that is true, it sounds just like the Scotland FA's "denial" of contacting John Collins.

He seems to work in London football circles and spreads the word. Thats alright by me, as most of what he posts is bang on.

Being that his odds are shortening by the moment he might not be far wrong

Re: RE: LS Gone?

FWIW, the exact same text was posted on the voy.com forum this morning, from the sometimes troll-ish Cheggers. Though, he claimed that he got his info from usually reliable Barra. What time was the West Ham board posting?

As i said it was posted by "fulhamfan" and he is normally good with the ITK

 

RE: Re: RE: LS Gone?

wow...if it were to happen, the sooner the better. the new manager needs to get in and see what he's got before the window opens so he can shuffle out the bedraggle.

is that a word?

 

At the risk of sounding a bit of a twat, I would love it if it was true. I would feel really sorry for LS, but the chance to have JT back wiht Joan and Clarky would be amazing. It is probabbly BS but even so....

 

i've supported LS all the way up until last week. the Newcastle match did me in. I'm ready for a change and agree with you GBFC, I'd love to see those 3 at the club

I started supporting the club near the end of Clarkies tenure here....he was a delight

 

omsdogg, I'm the same.

I've been sticking with Sanchez all along, thinking that he has been very unlucky. Perhaps if he'd got the win or draw at Arsenal on the first day (which we deserved), he might have gone on to being more confident, authoritative, in control.

But the Newcastle match was just crap, it really was.

And now I'm finding this talk of a Collins / Tigana / Cook trimumvirate strangely alluring. I'm excited about Fulham for the first time in months, and starting to hope that it's true.

 

I thought LS was a mistake right from the get-go. A cheap, easy option.
But who would possibly be surprised if he is sacked? 25 million and still sitting in the bottom three halfway through the season? Simply not good enough.

 

The idea of a triumvirate makes me nervous. Somebody has to be in charge; too many cooks spoil the broth.

 

I dunno, the triumvirates in ancient rome always contained some bloodshed, and allowed julius caesar and caesar augustus to emerge as quality leaders.

So at least it'll make things interesting??

 

I'm not gonna advocate that Sanchez be tossed out, but as I said in the Newcastle thread I no longer have any opposition to it. I've lost faith in him and it hurts because I was throughly convinced he'd be a success.

Also have to agree with the concern expressed regarding a three-way, or even a two away. Inviting trouble if you ask me.
