Just met an official of the club (brief but pleasant chat)
He says the owner is in town today and they are all hoping for an announcement soon re new manager/head coach
Do not shoot the messenger

Well, was that "soon" sounding like "immanently" or more like something any one of us would say.

If I was an Offical I would also say that there will be an  announcement soon, so not to get involved in a 3-hour debate of wtf is going on

If you "met" with him presumably he gave you his name. Do tell!

A day or two was what was said.  It would be unkind tovhim to give his name but you would all knowvhim and trust he was telling what he knew.

Soon could mean today tomorrow or sometime in the next 2 weeks, depends on your perspective

I am always sceptical when someone says someone from the club or a source I have and then wont give a name, I am not calling anyone a liar but it makes me think thats all.

The reason is that if someone from the club is happy to share information with someone not in the club then they should be happy with that informaiton being shared anywhere, otherwsie they should not have said anything to anyone no matter how close a friend they are. In effect they have breached their contract and could be dismissed, just by the mere fact someone has posted on here they have information from someone inside the club could therefore cost that person their job, if the club were to do an internal investigation.

As posters we need to make sure we are not posting anything that could harm the board, the posters or anyone else.

I can assure you the club do read the message boards.

It was a chance encounter and obviously in order not to harm the person or the MB it is better to withhold the name. I didn't learn anything that definitive and nothing definitive was passed on, so there was zero harm in passing on what was said.

I take your points on board. From now on I will keep any generalised bits of information to myself. What a dull world we live in.
