What's this all about then?

Player manager maybe?

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Tue Jan 06, 2009 5:09 pm

He'd be a brilliant signing for the rest of this season, he was still outstanding in the Championship last season.

Would be an excellent sigining to end of the season - player manager even better - fully comitted and loads of passsion for the game could be a brilliant manager in my book and would be a great choice for Pools next manager- wonder if hes cup tied

Gordon Watson Mk11 only fitter!

Him and Porter up front clappp

He started in the Premiership only a couple of weeks ago. I don't want a player manager it rarely works.

Nope, left out of the squad who faced the skunks last Saturday.

He's nicked my scarf!

Would be a good signing until the end of the season - wonder if he got on with Sam Collins when they were at Hull. If so, put in a word - it could be the most effective thing you've done :laugh:

If Bradford are in for him, mind - I think he'll end up there.

I doubt he wants to play in the Fourth Division, he's better than that.

Lives in the West Yorkshire area though so Bradford is probably quite attractive (to him anyway!). Wherever he goes he'll be after first team football, which we can 100% guarentee at pools!

nice to see a bit of ambition from Pools(in a way :laugh:

)

parmopooly · **Posted:** Tue Jan 06, 2009 6:08 pm

Steve Howey and him get on very well, and we might not have heard the last of that one either

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Tue Jan 06, 2009 6:15 pm

Dean Windass as player-soon-to-be-manager ... gets a resounding YES! from me. :grin:

Mind you, the manager bit seems a bit on the speculative side.

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Tue Jan 06, 2009 6:38 pm

Sky Sports News are now reporting that he has actually signed for us clappp

Player to the end of the season followed by an appointment as manager. Top choice!!

Brialliant signing.

A superb signing if it happens. I have the utmost respect for the bloke.

Quote:

When asked what it felt like to gain legendary status among the fans, the Hull-born striker said: "I'm not a legend. People use that word too much in football and I don't like it.

"I don't like that phrase because you get people like those who go and fight for the country in Iraq and those sorts of places, and I get paid a lot of money just to kick a football about.

"They are the real legends, the real heroes. Not people like me, and I don't want to be called that."

that would be a mistake cos it will get called off in my opinion

katcha · **Posted:** Tue Jan 06, 2009 7:24 pm

whitehurst · **Posted:** Tue Jan 06, 2009 7:28 pm

He is a legend though.
Reports from Hull say it's a done deal,congratulations,he's a top bloke and will fit in straight away,and he'll score you goals.

is mumbling along, and not really saying proper words, allowed?
It all adds to the sound, and it could be classed as harmonies from the backing singers

aido87 · **Posted:** Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:54 pm

sorry to drag you all back to the original post :roll:

, but is this windass thing :

a)confirmed
2)rumour
iii)just wishful thinking

cos i can't find it confirmed anywhere other than us, le**s and oldham are interested.

Gerry Mandrake · **Joined:** Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:23 pm **Posts:** 1429

He's self-confirmed on itv.com he is in talks with us.
"Hartlepool, has come in for me and I'm waiting to see how things develop. I'm going to talk over the move with my family over the next couple of days and take it from there."

Hopefully Pools are doing the old trick of waiting until the Mail has been printed before confirming the signing :laugh:

dawlishmonkey · **Joined:** Fri Sep 01, 2006 11:53 am **Posts:** 1588

a couple of points;
-windass isn't cup tied if he signs before the west ham game yet is he?
-would this be the fa cup money pools are spending in advance?
-the theory according to the experts on five live on saturday,notably steve stone,was that wilson left cos he wanted more money and the club told him there wasn't any so what does this say about IOR's relationship with him?

Tax Paying Poolie · **Joined:** Sat Aug 19, 2006 8:18 am **Posts:** 9053

I reckon Hull would stop him playing if they're still in the Cup but it won't make any odds if they're out. Does that mean we'll have to support the Geordies in the replay? I'd feel sick.

dawlishmonkey · **Joined:** Fri Sep 01, 2006 11:53 am **Posts:** 1588

according to sky new he's been given permission to speak to pools

The closest I've seen to him actually signing is his quote about us being in touch and talking it through with his family. It looks 95% there.

I just hope he's not married to Jack Ross's ex.

would you talk about moving your family if it was just a loan move?

gremmlin · **Joined:** Fri Oct 05, 2007 9:23 am **Posts:** 3141

if they dangle the possibility of a managers job, tickets pending, then it might just stave off l***s

Just read that Dean Windass agent is his wife, not sure if it was for real or a piss take but if it's true he would be killing 2 spuggies with one stone.

we had the same carry on when we thought dimi was coming back,pools don't work like that they like to keep their cards close to their chest,if we are in for anyone you won't find out till they have signed

Dean Windass?
