Middleton next maybe?

And the rest don't matter?

Of course the rest matter. I've headed up an organisation for near on 20 years that has a membership in excess of 500,000 and had to defend a lot of them on numerous occasions, including umpteen DRFC fans. I've more than done my bit.

It says call not conference, that suggests phone call to me, maybe he was busy with an incoming player?

As I say, Thursday is normal press conference day.

Having spoken to the club several times this week it's obvious that everybody is extremely busy and beavering away. Let them get on with it.

Not too busy to talk to you 'several times' though SM.
When they are 'beavering away' as you put it why don't you let them get on with it as well?

You're a clown. Did I say I'd rung them?

Not sure I said you had rung them either.
So who's the Coco?
It was intended as a light-hearted remark, but you've instantly bitten as usual.
Don't worry I do realise they are constantly in touch with you, which is only right as you are very important. 

Yep, I am. The work we do carries on throughout the summer, no rest for the wicked and all that.

[silent majority]

All the work Martin does for DRFC and the FSF is completely voluntary. I think that is admirable.

Cheers Steve. I give up all of my spare time and a bit more than that as well. And it is mine to give up, my choice. I spent last night chairing a meeting with reps from all SY clubs, and Monday I spent a few hours chatting to senior officers from SY Police, which will benefit all football fans in SY in the near future. Watch this space.

[Dare to dream!]

Odds dropped further to 1.44. f**k.

You must have been a very naughty boy in a previous life, Martin

Hull Daily Mail confirmed that Hull City have approached Rovers about McCann today.

[RoversAlias]

Leon Wobschall of the Yorkshire Post says that there have been informal discussions between the two clubs but no formal approach yet.

Maybe I'm being naive but I honestly don't think he'd go, unless Adkins told McCann it would be a brilliant move for him. Something I'd be confused by considering the fact Adkins has just walked out of the place.

[Filo]

Two recent comments from McCann, stand out for me, both contradict each other

1) We don’t want people that don’t want to be here

2) Come here do well and earn your big money move


Which one is it Grant?

The lack of comment from him s only fueling more speculation

Presumably you’d want to come and do well and want to play to put yourself in the run unit for a big move?

[dickos1]

There’s obviously more to it than the comments that have come from the club.
It would’ve been nipped in the bud today with a statement if there was nothing in it

Yes, so does that apply to his situation

[pib]

Why on earth would the club or Grant McCann make a statement/comment if there has been no formal approach?

Quite feasibly the club could accept an approach for him, he could go there and meet with Hull City and then decide it's not for him based on who he'd be working for, budgets, salary, prospects for the future, or any number of things. Nobody can rule anything out either way at the moment as no approach has been made, so why would there be a statement from any party?

Why fans think that they are entitled to know every conversation or movement regarding their football club is a source of bafflement to me.

[Boomstick]

Are we allowed to panic yet?

[silent majority]

Are we allowed to panic yet?

Not yet, no.

[pib]

I think Grant McCann is doing a great job here and would be gutted to see him leave, but the most annoying thing about this would be the timing if it was to happen.

I hope the board have a few ideas up their sleeve as to who they'd like to go for if this does happen. Not saying it will, but it never hurts to have a contingency plan.

[keith79]

If anything is to happen it need to be sorted soon.

[Filo]

Not yet, no.

I’d sooner you say no not at all

[redarmy82]

Looks like what I was told yesterday was correct after all

Go on, I'll bite. What was you told yesterday?

[Alan Southstand]

Going on our previous history of how long it takes us to appoint someone, I would say the time has already passed.

All GM had to do is confirm his position.

[redarmy82]

Go on, I'll bite. What was you told yesterday?

Earlier in this thread. That'll he will be talking to Hull

You can't say that, this is football, things can and do change very quickly.

[Copps is Magic]

Am I getting lost in a sea of internet turds or something here but didn't we hear from someone, somewhere yesterday that an approach would be ''rejected straight away" and today we learn they are having discussions.

We'll see. Hull are casting their net very wide, my understanding is there's a good half a dozen names in the frame. That doesn't mean they'll all be interviewed, or that the half a dozen will even want to be interviewed. So currently it's speculation by certain individuals.

Nobody's confirmed discussions are taking place. Again, it's speculation at this point.

[Herbert Anchovy]

If he did leave I would be absolutely gobsmacked! I can’t understand why any Manager would want to go to Hull City at the moment.

Hoping it's all resolved quickly either way. It would be a disaster
