2019/20 shan off the gaffa race

So if Rowe can’t officially be sacked until this police investigation is completed, what will that mean for Cooks appointment?

Are we actually able to offer him the managers position, even as an interim if Rowe hasn’t been sacked?

 

[Stoney Ground]

I’m sure that’s what he said in his post match after Eastleigh!

It seems Cook being announced tomorrow is the latest update but who knows… I think the JR investigation is dragging on for longer than the club initially thought it would (new evidence has apparently come to light)

They need to take advice from TK, a big brush and a carpet might help.

I’m pretty sure you could put him on gardening leave whilst appointing cook and the investigation could then run its course. The problem with that is they’d be paying cook and Rowe at the same time. Cleaner if they can sack Rowe prior to the end of the investigation with no compensation but whether that’s possible who knows.

I hope we milk it big time with a Varane / Man Utd esque reveal for Cook on Saturday

I want a video of Mike Goodwin picking him up with a PAUL COOK sign from Sheffield train station, Mansfield/Maynard style.

Was that when that tart picked someone up in a soft top Bentley from faro airport? That was ludicrous

Aww you know his name. Mike Goodwin is ace, very decent fella. All the Trust guys are

Yeah and that someone didn't even get double figures in goals for us

Do you know anything about this new rumour doing the rounds re. Rowe? Seen some stuff posted today but no real detail.

Something about certain items being taken as evidence from the club.

Seen a few mentions of it but I don’t know anything. The longer the silence goes on for the more rumours will appear…

Is it just me that thinks our local journo’s should be doing a bit more digging than they are doing? There’s literally been nowt other than rumours in pubs & on message boards

Please tell me they haven't taken the groundsmans hose and the frost covers.

Rowe was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Waiting with anticipation to see what he's actually done and if anyone would touch him with a barge pole after his dismissal

Good friends with a local journo. They have to be VERY careful what they say/write in the public domain

No I’m in the same boat, it doesn’t feel like they’ve pushed for much info at all. I guess if it’s a police investigation as well as a club investigation then there are boundaries.

Let’s be honest, this is football - there is no moral compass here. He will get another job managing a team at some level after all this blows over - even if the worst was to happen and he spent some time inside.

Local journalists are just phenomenally shit at that sort of thing. Know loads but are fucking terrified of upsetting anyone.

 

[PuB]

Could he not be sacked citing the ‘bite your f*cking nose off’ comment and be done with the whole thing? In what other workplace would that not be a sackable offence

(not saying he should have been sacked for that alone just asking if it could prove a handy excuse).

Possibly Barnets next manager

Items taken as evidence, Jeez what has the bloke done?

Although I guess that could be something like CCTV of when ‘little JR’ made his, er, ‘appearance’*

I’ve no idea what this rumour is or where it’s come from as all the things I’ve seen are quite cryptic. I was told this morning though that further evidence had come to light yesterday strengthening the case for dismissal.

Better than not having any decent club to support.

If police are involved then anything they report now is almost certainly in contempt of court.

That would be you then.

Uh oh I can sense some more Barnet - Wealdstone BEEF rumbling.

Ok guys, this is getting out of hand now. Stop it before someone gets hurt.
