Didn't he start chopsing about how the club didn't match his ambitions? Or something like that? [Post edited 28 Dec 2016 18:57]

Yes, but maybe his ambition is to manage a championship club, so now we're a perfect fit for him. |  |

Yeah. A clear cover for the fact that the club chose Bradley over him. Cos how embarrassing is that? |  |

Yes he did. His comments just smacked of sour grapes because he didn't get the job though. |  | | |

That presumes it was ever a competition for the job.
Wanted Bobo in the role. Appointing him directly would be a bit dubious. Arrange a few interviews with no intention of appointing other candidates. | |

He only said the club didn't match his ambitions which is provably true. |  |

So why did he bother going for an interview? | | | |

He was probably stunned when Huw said I'm in charge of the transfers.  | |

He probably found out the Yanks intentions during the interview.
Namely, no money to buy, players would be sold, keep the club in the Prem on an absolute shoestring. | |

It very much felt like he was just saying anything to make it look like he did not want it rather than losing it to Bradley.
There's been some talk of Jenkins prefering Giggs in October and being over ruled. If that's true then obviously he's going to be back in the running now. | | | |

I understood 'ambition' to mean he just wanted to spend lots of money and we didn't.
For the last 20 years of his career he has only experienced managers buying in talent. |  | | |

My thinking of it,was Huw told Giggs that he was in charge of who comes in and who leaves,and that put Giggs off,so that was the different set of ambitions. Giggs obviously wanted to bring his own players in,so if he is back on the radar,I wonder if Huw has realised he has failed with his purchases and has given Giggs his word that he has the say on who comes and goes?? | | | |

Why can't we have:
a) a real football manager, you know, one that has a track record in actually managing or coaching proper highly skilled professional players successfully and imaginatively, and
b) One that hasn't proven himself to be mostly crud for the whole of his career. You can even google cvs these days. You don't have to employ a 40 year career specialist in dogshit. |  |

His comments did come as reactionary after someone stated the board found his interview lacked conviction.. And seeing him talk for more than 10 minutes, that's not exactly hard to believe. Personally, I hope he gets nowhere near the job. Can't afford his lack of experience at this time even if he does have contacts in the game. |  | | |

I wouldn't agree.
Whoever takes over, you do need to spend some money.
Giggs is going to want to get a club to the top levels, to compete at that level. I fully suspect Kaplan and Levein's agenda is to spend close to zero to maximise profits. | |

You've got to say that Giggs would be a much better prospect than Bradley.
He would still be a useless appointment though. Please, no! |  |

You would have to be a bit of a gimp not to be able to read between the lines though. He was embarrassed at losing out to Bob. Can see his point. | | | |

Would only have been embarassed at losing in a fair fight. | |

Without doubt it was. His (immediate) ambition was to manage Swansea City. The clubs ambition was to appoint Bob. | | | |

Indeed. Doesn't say much about his character though. Comes across as surely and grumpy. I just can see him motivating a team low on confidence. But if he comes, fair enough hope he does well. |  | | |

Ryan: How much will I be getting in the January transfer window Huw?
Huw: Oh you won't have to worry about transfer windows that's my job. | |

Yeah possibly and my last post was a bit facetious.
However, I think the conversation is more likely to have been along the lines of....
Ryan: How much will I be getting in the January transfer window Huw?
Huw : Oh you won't have to worry about transfer windows, we're appointing Bob Bradley. | | | |

Judging by the state of the club at the moment, you've got to say that Giggs could see a mile off where we were heading and that was back to the Championship. |  | | |

Jenkins won't be appointing new manager, "the club" will, he no longer runs the club his dictatorship is over, credibility amongst new owners is at ground zero, exposed for what he and his cronies are.
New owners are starting to repair the damage done, respect for supporters and trust is being re-established, errors of old boards ways acknowledged.
New manager will be someone with credibility and ambition, Coleman has both and would appreciate having Curtis around. | | | |
