No Kompany announcement today, according to Chris Boden.

Sigh

VK Bluesday... knew it!

No Kompany announcement today, according to Chris Boden.

Sigh

Any enthusiasm I had about him coming is gone now.
I'll just be glad when a new manager is announced, I'm not arsed who it is so long as it's someone.

[alwaysaclaret]

Bookies have him back at 1/20 so appears it's still VK

[Venkys4eva]

This thread is like one of those long transfer threads where we dont sign anybody lol

Of course it’s Kompany. It’s been obvious it’s Kompany for a couple of weeks now.

The thing is, is it worth betting £20k? For the sake of £1k, probably not.

I bet if you tried there would a cap on the market, be amazed if they would let anyone have 10k

[claretonthecoast1882]

Just tried and it is limited to 5k winning you £250

Why don’t you have a crack at it Sid? You get my vote as long as you don’t require a “work permit”.

[ClaretTony]

How, if it is believed that it is down to a work permit, could it have been handled any better? How is a PR disaster. It is the people on this message board that making it a 'PR disaster'.

Despite what has been said and what’s potentially going to be said, I remain firmly that it has not been a work permit issue.

[RicardoMontalban]

I’m sure somewhere there’ll be someone daft enough and well off enough to do so.

[Smile]

Ha, fair play for bothering to try. I'm tempted to withdraw some Crypto just to try it.

[RVclaret]

Despite what has been said and what’s potentially going to be said, I remain firmly that it has not been a work permit issue.

So what HAS it been then? Literally every other journalist possible has said it’s been a work permit issue.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

thankfully I don't need a work permit, but I've no wish to relocate back to the north west just yet.

[burnley007]

Very intriguing, I'm not convinced you're the captain of the Alan Pace fan club any more.

[ClaretTony]

I would suggest there’s been a lot to deal with. It’s not likely to be one appointment when it happens. I think there was a real hold up in it being agreed because of the Borussia Mönchengladbach link. But the info I’ve been given said it was not a work permit issue and it’s from someone whose opinion I trust and value.

Did he choose us over Borussia, or not get that job?

[burnley007]

Are we expecting any signings to be announced the same day too?

Interesting and fair enough. Not one appointment, possibly a director of football too?

[lakedistrictclaret]

Could be a number of things:-

Whether AP sanctions VK bringing all his backroom staff with him

Whether there is a director of football and if so ,who

etc

[lakedistrictclaret]

Great minds, eh, RV?

[ClaretTony]

No idea but I’m assuming he’ll be bringing in his coaching staff. Dyche brought in Woan & Loughlan on day one.

[RumRogers]

Sorry to intrude, but for my own curiosity, what coaching qualifications does Kompany have to make him eligible for an International Sportspersons visa for the manager's job?

Let's hope the latest delay does not relate to Nice.

[Nori1958]

I respect CTs opinion, and the info he got he believes, which anyone would, but too many, respected journalists, here and abroad, mention work permit issues that there has to be some truth in it, either for Kompany, or members of his staff

Just to add, I've never known a so called done deal, take this long to announce

There isn't any worries about from people online at all

Hasn't been since it was announced as happening two/three weeks? ago

Though to be fair, as a championship club we are no longer in the top division so we are not as important and it might be that there was enough going on for us not to be worth mentioning, but even then, Kompany is a big enough name to generate interest you'd have thought

[Conroy92]

I guess its been a hold up with coaching staff? Any chance Ben Mee signs on as an assistant coach!

[ClaretTony]

Let's hope the latest delay does not relate to Nice.

Nothing in the Nice story from what I was told other than them reportedly having some interest.

Sorry, you've lost me.... We're you replying to someone else.... I never mentioned any worries

Oh yes there have

[Lancasterclaret]

Sorry, only realised I'd pressed quote when I'd posted it

Apologies!

He should hold the Uefa Pro licence, A&B.
Initially he didn't and Anderlecht were fined for making him their manager because they're a requirement in Belgian football, but he's done them since then from what I've read.

[Lancasterclaret]

Oh yes there have

We've been here before with stuff like this

My trust in "anonymous club sources" is essentially zero

[RVclaret]

Oh yes there have

There wasn’t much reporting online / worries online of the Gladbach interest causing our deal with VK to be off, I think is what he means. Whereas you have suggested that there was possibly quite a bit more to it.

Believe so but was told nothing really in the Nice story

At least it looks like it’s finally coming to a conclusion. Let’s hope tomorrow is the day.

An A Licence I think is required for the Championship but a Pro Licence for the Premier League.

[ClaretTony]

No Kompany announcement today, according to Chris Boden.

Sigh

I did post that earlier today but, of course, tomorrow is another day.

[ClaretTony]

I hadn't seen this post but just posted previously that tomorrow is another day.

[eastcoastclaret]

I did post that earlier today

Are you expecting an announcement this week Tony?

[ClaretTony]

Are you expecting an announcement this week Tony?

See my two previous posts about tomorrow

[NRC]

You mean the one something about tomorrow being another day?

[Pommieclaret]

Just as a matter of intrest, who would have had the say on the retained list?

[AwayClaret]

Fackin 'ell this is dragging on a bit now! Unfortunately there won't be much excitement when Kompany's finally revealed. Shame for him that really.

[eastcoastclaret]

Think Dyche joined us on a Tuesday

[ClaretTony]

You mean the one something about tomorrow being another day?

Yes, I believe there is a chance of it being tomorrow.

[ClaretTony]

Think Dyche joined us on a Tuesday

You're spot on - Tuesday, 30th October 2012.

[COBBLE]

Might as well have a guess that the announcement will be linked to refinancing/new investment.

[CnBtruntru]

Anybody got £5,000 they can lend me until tomorrow, will give you £50 interest if it wins

[Wokingclaret]

Getting bored with all this now.
