Not towards the end, anyway.
Now all we need do is establish the "Taxi Rank" rumour... :greengrinQuote:

Not even a whisper.Quote:

And the cries will, rightfully, be the same should we end up with Stark, Tangoman, Fenlon et al.Quote:

I'm pretty sure PC Stamp was there and will confirm all this.
Why "rightfully"?Quote:

Tangoman isn't in the frame.
The big issue here is that Petrie cannot afford to get this wrong again, the risk is too great, first division looms, he needs to cough up some decent money for a good manager even on £5000 a week that only needs 1000 extra supporters at the home games to cover it, If a good manager gets this team playing well then the increase in crowds will more than pay for the guy.
Well i am guessing if anything was going to happen today i.e a press conference we would of heard about it by now???
:agree:Well, agree with 2/3 of this.Quote:

Stark - definitely, with or without Clarke.
Is he back yet? or are the rumours true that the clarke deal is dead.....Quote:

It's far too easy to scream "cheap option" etc when we actually haven't a clue about the factors which led to a decision to appoint any given manager.
Edit: Re Stark. Did you see the way the under 21's played last week. I'd buy that for a dollar.
What rumours are there suggesting the deal is dead (or alive) for that matter?Quote:

Can anyone give me a one paragraph summary of where we are and when we are likely to have an announcement?
Thanks in anticipation.

we can't afford anything other than a 'cheap option'.
I know that if he's a success that'll pay for him, however, thats a gamble and is that not what Dundee are getting absolutely slated for?!
Someone posted on here that they had a verbal agreement and petrie went back and told clarke the wage on offer was for him and an assistant, clarke seemingly told him to bolt.Quote:
