Wolves are for sale and Darlo wants some smooth thighs

[machin05]

Sounds like Jackett knows he's gone. His job now is nothing except make sure the players are fit enough in preseason until the new guy takes over.

For us, we have to get on with pre-season, make sure we get the base work and the groundwork done.

Yes, sounds like he expects to be gone before the first preseason friendly.

To be fair if the club have allowed Ken to say what he's said then things must be imminent. Maybe the B&S held releasing the interview back at the club's wishes while they vetted it?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The club will have embargoed E&S for one reason and one reason only. It must have passed the point of no return yesterday. Now something official can be said and Kenny's "hint" is pretty much confirmation.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a formal announcement about ten minutes after the E&S print deadline.

Must be a pain being a manager in this situation - You can't do anything in terms of signing players and you basically cannot plan for the future as your job is pretty at an end - if it all goes tits up, he is left to pick up the pieces and try to put a squad in place in a very shortened space of time.

 

[Boozad]

He's in a no-lose situation though. If the deal goes tits up and he stays and we do shit he's got the mother of all excuses. If the deal goes through he gets paid off and walks into another job.

 

[Langers]

It'll be less than ideal for Jackett, but I've seen a lot of tweets saying he's been appallingly treated which just isn't true. He will have known this would have happened as soon as the club went up for sale, and this sort of transaction doesn't happen in a few days. He must have been aware things were going on behind the scenes for ages.

Tricky to keep things going - absolutely.
Appallingly treated - nope.

Interesting to speculate on where Ken will pitch up next. Lower mid-table Championship. Brentford? Somewhere closer to London I'd guess

...And no, not badly treated at all. In normal circs would have been sacked last season

 

[Lycan]

He'll walk into the first job going in the Championship. I've got very little sympathy for him tbh, it's a tough situation to be in but that's football.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Takeovers happen and jobs go. That's life, that's business. I have had it happen to me. You just do the job to the best of your ability knowing a payoff is coming.

Gets a wedge, sits on a beach for a few weeks until the first batch of managers gets sacked, walks back into a job. Just life as a football manager, and really not too awful!

I think the best bit of that article is the mad photoshop skillz on the main picture.

precisely.

isn't the contract pay-off sometimes limited to whether the "employee" gets another job within the contract period being paid off? i always wondered about the legality of that, but i guess if a manager is on a Chelsea style massive contract it's understandable. not that it'll be considered in this case, just something that i've wondered about.

Yeah, they come and go, life goes on and I don't think he'll be worrying too much about where the money for the mortgage is coming from.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in League 1 with an underachieving team - Coventry or Sheff Utd maybe. Could even see him at MK Dons, which would be a bad move for him as he will lose the love of the Doosch

I think looking from the outside in it will look like he's done a really good job here. If he handles this takeover with dignity then that will be another plus point in his favour.

Not good enough IMO. #whereareyou

 

[Freddeno]

Hopefully this takeover is true and that Jackett goes too

I think managers normally continue to get paid until either the time on their original contract ends or they get another job.

Not a bad life.
