SSD Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Contractual guff takes an age at a business at the best of times, so this is perfectly normal. Both parties want to get the deal done. Dont panic ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can't be rushed, otherwise you end up with unintended (or intended but not advantageous to yourself) situations wich are contractual obligations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dethorn Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 If it is Frank - sign already !! Why does Frank and Jody make me think of Shameless ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Possibly not long left then and we could see Lamps confirmed as new manager. That means you haven't got much time to decide if Frank will be an incredible manager or it's a terrible decision that will ruin the club. Unfortunately, you then have to stick with that decision forever, regardless how things play out on the field. It can get tricky, especially if you are a prophet of doom and we start doing well. Best thing here is to avoid the forum during these periods, then return as soon as we have a bad result, ignoring previous form. You'll probably be shot down for this, so it's a good idea to have a different strategy beyond results. Suddenly becoming passionate about the style of play is useful. A defensive team is boring, a more attacking team can be weak at the back with no plan B. You can end up looking a bit foolish in the long term, for instance you yearn for a different approach that you were against in the past, but few people will remember this. Good luck everyone, hope you make what turns out to the be the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the deal with us has been agreed and just waiting on the turnout with regards his media commitments. imo. Could be. I can't believe Mel would want him in Russia for a month covering the World Cup when he should be sorting out the Rams squad and getting to know them.

The six managers after him lasted 249 games between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure that’s correct .. wouldn’t swear to it but if Oxbridge students got in trouble then they were “sent down” as in back to London ?

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 If I travel I go down south or up north. From Sandbanks I go up to Derby. From Derby I go down to Sandbanks. From Sandbanks I go up to London because it's geographically north of where I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dordogne-Ram Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Goes back to the early days of railways. It was necessary to differentiate which of two tracks was being referred to and the accepted solution was to call one the "up" line and the other one the "down" line. Quite who got to decide that all lines going away from London became the "down" line I don't know, but being the metropolis it probably made sense to adopt some system of reference. Many of us relate to the geography (ie maps) of it all, but that could not work if you were east or west of London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
