Edinburgh the man?

Ksn reporting an approach been made at last

[terryjolleysboot]

I have just heard that on the grapevine!

[greenhillgill]

Come on PS lets get this tied up. We need to push on now. Thanks to the Gang of Four building on what PT gave us but let us now get ourselves into a comfortable mid table position and kick on next season. Must admit though that when PS said he was looking abroad I had anticipated a bit further away than Wales!!!

[swanleygill]

Ohh come on green you need to take what PS says with a pinch of salt, he said he was moving to Dubai to seek investment for the club, then a few weeks ago admitted he had been lazy in seeking investment the last few years, begs the question, what are you doing then.

[terryjolleysboot]

Over the last twenty to thirty years we seem to the like the Spurs connection, Buckingham, Taylor, Stimson and now Edinburgh let's hope he does better than his ex Tottenham predecessors!
If we get him that is!!

Wait until may for who.... christ knows how much compo JE is going to cost, i would support the appointment but, if we are going to go after someone in employment where we have to pay compo id rather it be someone like Micky Adams.

This has all the makings of, we are approaching someone half decent, he or newport will turn us down or PS will not be prepared to meet the compo and it ends up with the GO4 in charge until the summer, which is a very risky game. Also i hate to say it but why wait a month to approach, grrr

Maybe he had gone for other candidates whom were not attached to a club, and could not reach an agreement.  That is what might have taken the time. Approaches to clubs do not have to be made public, it seems to happen when the club approached does not want to lose the manager/player.

Events at Newport could well have lead them to be more open to approach.There is also the Ryan Bertrand thing while I would not expect us to get a big cash boost straight away Ie the fee will involve appearance related add ons so it could be that we may get around 50k to 300k up front being as we have already had 700k+.What that money may have done is allowed us a slightly bigger budget.2-3 weeks ago Scally may have sounded Newport out may have wanted say 100k for his services(Scally may have asked).But now the price could be half that given there results since.There is also the real possibility that Scally was simply talking to others who have applied trying to find someone better when he did not within the said budget etc he returned to Edinburgh.

I wonder if there will be a row if he comes to us about compo. Wasn't there a dispute when we signed Stimson about compo not being paid for some time,or is my memory deceiving me?

[wayne86]

Harry Redknapp's just resigned, maybe he's on his way to us....

I'd hope that Scally has been in negotiation with Edinburgh directly or indirectly so knows there is a chance of a deal. I doubt he'd approach Newport unless that was the case
