So Baldini offered to resign

[Dru]

1) Does he not want to be here any more?
2) Does he realise the signings were, in fact, pretty poor and doesn't see the squad challenging?
3) Was he just being honorable?

How do we know this?

 

[Hazza]

Abandon ship? aulinhobored:

4) Didn't want to work with Tim Sherwood?

 

[CJJ]

I'd suspect #3

In addition, there's been a lot in the Press about certain managers who wouldn't want to work under that system, so perhaps that played a part? AVB apparently asked for him, so it's perhaps a little awkward there where maybe TS is hinting that he would prefer to take control of that side of things

Or possibly, just maybe! The seven signings in the summer were meant to be enough to tide us over, past january. FFS.

 

[HeartyCOYS]

He "offered" to resign, or he wanted to resign?

 

[trifficTotnum]

I don't know so it's AVB's fault.

 

[Dru]

According to the article he offered to resign the same day AVB was chopped so not sure the not working with Sherwood would come into it.

What a mess.

 

[HeartyCOYS]

Maybe he'll change his mind if we appoint Fabio

 

[duspurs]

Are we now asking too many questions?

 

[PhilWalker8]

Maybe he offered to resign as DOF but wanted the job as manager? Am I right? Guys? Please?

 

[JohnnyS]

Are we now asking too many questions?

We most certainly are and it's not like we will be getting too many answers soon...

 

[KeaneBean]

Still if he offered out of respect I am thankful we still have a nice bloke in the management of our club. Plus those saying he's incompetent... Well I really have to disagree with. He signed great players, something just hasn't worked, not his fault though.

 

[Carlito Brigante]

No no no please.

I can't think of anyone better to spend 100 mil on players.....

I mean one might not come off......but most will......right?

Fuck of wanna b

We know that Baldini was wanted by AVB. So if you are Baldini the only way you can survive into the next phase with the new manager and setup while retaining your credibility and power in your position, is to offer your resignation. If it is rejected then it reafirms that he is truely wanted there by those in charge, not just a left-over from AVB's reign. I think it's good that it happened and was rejected.
Now get us a new fucking manager!!!!!!!

 

[docomospur]

Christ, what a fucking dog's dinner we have on our hands.

I doubt he knew at the time who the care-taker would be. Very disappointing if true.
