Confirmed Graham Alexander New Manager, Chris Lucketti as Assistant

[HunterLionheart]

Not surprising that we first went for the option that didn’t require compensation.

If it was a financially based decision we would have gone for one of the many other out of work managers after that, rather than Grezza.

Next weeks bombshell will be that Celtic are interested... 🥱

Yep, this is a total non entity of a story by Nixon.

Alan has been doing Keane's agent a favour for the last month and the timing of this "exclusive" goes to prove that.

Grezza is our manager now, not everyone is happy with that but pretty much everyone is backing Graham to succeed.

Graham Alexander is now manager and there is no point speculating about any other possible scenarios. What I want to hear is that the players are now alert, energised, committed and organised because what is required now is a total focus on getting ourselves out of the relegation positions. I wonder how we are all going to feel this time next week.

The LEP website is absolutely atrocious. What a mess.

I know what you mean, the text keeps getting in the way of the adverts I want to read, disgraceful! 😡

 

[Ando60]

Very happy that he didnt come here.

Is that because of his Israel connection or because you don’t rate his ability as a coach ??

Just curious……

What a very weird thing to ask someone. Jesus Christ. Politics and football are two separate entities and should remain that way.

Does anyone think he'll get us to the pkayoffs

We've not even seen him put a team out yet, fucking hell. How would we have any kind of reasonable guess, other than 'probably not' based on the team we have right now being kinda shit?

The Celtic fans will dislike him even more than I do.

As I said , I was just curious….

I certainly wasn’t looking to start any political debate…

 

[Ando60]

Yeah, he will never manage Celtic.

No. Avoiding relegation is a big enough job for this season.

Did we have a bounce game this weekend?

A behind closed doors friendly.

"The term originates from the idea of a free-flowing, experimental scrimmage where the ball is simply put into play to let players run, pass, and bounce back into match fitness without league pressure."

Nixon been paid by Keane's agent to tell Burnley he'd take the job. Obviously they may not be interested.

 

[SF]

Nixon is a nob head, but it's very, very likely Robbie Keane just did turn us down, waiting for a more attractive, bigger money job.

Him going to Burnley wouldn't be a surprise, but I suspect he'll fancy another European job.

I think he probably viewed it as a big risk given our position rather than it being about money. If he came here, a very difficult job and failed. He'd struggle to get another job at this level.
