Still worth chasing Moyes in my book, unlikely as he is to come. After all look what's systematically happening to all the likely lads ! 

Each new face and subsequent refusal is reducing this club to nothing less than a music hall joke.     

[ToodlesMcToot]

I truly do not understand how everyone but the manager continues to survive these repeated failures. This latest footballinsider247 rumor aside, the air of ridiculousness and poor management of the situation astounds.

I try very hard to keep my mouth shut where the topic of someone else's job (at least the "he/she needs to be fired" kinds of comments) is concerned but this club seem to continually push that button. I really do try and give the benefit of the doubt. Really.

I don't know why I continue to monitor situations like this one so closely anymore. Some insane habit. Like repeatedly going to the circus waiting for the tiny car to drive around the tent expecting something besides clowns to come piling out and being angry when nothing changes. Maybe that makes sense. Probably not. I'm tired and angry with the club's performances in most all regards this season and just spouting off.

Footballinsider tweeted some days ago that he would sign (95 % done).
I guess we end up with Mowbray

If what Veysey is reporting is true and we are quibbling over 250K, there's not point even saying Moyes' name.

Where are the 3 Kings bearing gifts to sweeten the deal. Oh , I think they have had another call out.

[Hoppus]

If Macabi Tel Aviv are in talks with Garcia (he is in Israel now), is seems like they are prepeared to let him go.

If Macabi Tel Aviv are in talks with Garcia (he is in Israel now), is seems like they are prepeared to let him go.

But are they, again, these are only speculations. Some saying Garcia is, some saying Garcia isn't. This morning we're told compensation was agreed at £250K, then we're told it isn't and it's on the verge of collapse. I'm really starting to lose patients with all this. Been going on far, far to long now.

[Fulham76]

I can't believe these latest rumours about the deal for Jankovic falling through are accurate. If they are that proves, without doubt, that the people in charge of appointing the new manager are absolute idiots - surely we couldn't be that stupid?!?

We would have asked the question 'is Jankovic available?'. The answer was clearly yes, (or else we wouldn't be talking to him), but it would have been discussed at that point that a compensation price needed to be paid, which is normal when taking an already employed manager. This hasn't been sprung on us last minute, we would have known. So, if the rumours are true we're either trying to be clever & not pay the compensation or we really are being run by some of the worst 'business people' on the planet!

Surely can't be true...

[Oakeshott]

There is another possible explanation - J and his advisors are simply using the Club's interest in him to improve his contract at Maccabi (or elsewhere).

That could be the reason for the delay, but if the rumours are true that things are on the verge of collapse due to the compensation payment, then we're run by idiots!

[westcliff white]

according to the Israeli press compo is agreed 250k, there is no more haggling over that, the delay seems to be them getting a replacement.

Its all rumours either way though

They say Jakonovic got no agent.

Lets hope thats true.

[millsy]

Guess it's possible that they're trying to turn us over re. finances and we're saying enough and we're ready to let the deal collapse and walk away. If so, risky tactic but sometimes you just have to force the issue and hope that they also want the deal to go through.

From Joka's point of view, he's now in a similar position to Steve Clarke, in that he's agreed terms to move and may find it difficult with Maccabi owners and fans.

Hope everyone actually wants this to happen and that we're being reasonably open-handed on the fee etc., as the stakes are very high for the club and we shouldn't be penny-pinching.

So much speculation with no substance
(Best not mention red tops!)

Unfortunately, Rigg still knows 500 times more about football than Khan, so don't expect any resignations.

If this falls through, heads have to roll. The whole episode has been handled appallingly.
