Darlo Uncovered

It’s just a case of dotting and crossing. Hopefully announced in a day or two

Fingers crossed, hopefully announced today.

Now that would be something, player/manager, maybe to get today's game out of the way

Could be the illusive Mendes bloke lol

Possibly signed for Netwon Aycliffe I believe. Dual Registration.

Blyth fans been tweeting that Armstong is our manager??

I'll be delighted if that's the case.

I wish they'd get the new bloke announced. Hope this delay doesn't mean he's having second thoughts.
At this rate we'll be on Page 36 of this thread before we find out who he is.

I wonder how many of those that voted for Hardy would have voted for Armstrong if they knew he was a realistic target?

Honestly, the appointment process can take a while. Be patient!

York were incredibly efficient

I'd imagine even more so if the candidate is currently employed elsewhere. Compensation to be agreed etc.

compensation is easy just ask York

Surely we can just palm them off with a friendly....All gate receipts to Blyth obviously...

Let Blyth play York instead of us , everyone's a winner

My thoughts exactly!

Actually they weren't! It took them 4 months (or an hour if you believe Gray)

If it is Armstrong, I actually want us to make a point of paying fair compensation to Blyth. Set a standard and show we do things the right way.

My thoughts exactly. Given the way we felt about MG's departure to York I'd be very disappointed if the club didn't conduct themselves with the utmost integrity in with regards to any appointment to show we're better than that.

We've offered Tommy Wright the job apparently.

First post and joined the forum just 5 mins ago, so either in the know or a troll! No help!

Just sharing what I've been told by someone in the know. Wouldn't say it's 100%.

Aren't Nuneaton full time? I'm not convinced Wright would want to give up a FT job for a PT one.

On the flip side, I'm not convinced Armstrong would want to leave Blyth at the moment either

So overall, I've no idea. I'd imagine we will find something out pretty soon though!

Seems plausible to me. We have no idea how negotiations with Armstrong and/or Blyth have gone. If they have ground to a halt TW is probably the best alternative of the options I'm aware of.

I'm not sure why either would leave their current jobs to be fair, but I guess there is quite a lot of prestige tied with potentially getting Darlo back to the conference.

Would that be Tommy Wright manager of St Johnstone.?

Got to be Armstrong for me, hopefully we hear something tomorrow.

Nothing on the Echo website to indicate who is coming in.

There wouldn't be. News like this will be kept under an embargo and released by all parties at the same time.

I'd expect that anyone in a position to know anything about it would remain tight-lipped about it so anything said here or elsewhere should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Hopefully we'll find out today.

I'm sure that some posters on here know the identity of the new manager and will have disclosed who he is, but I'm not sure who those posters are. Looks like it's between Tommy Wright and Alun Armstrong, if you believe posters on here.

Patience is a virtue sadly lacking with social media and since 2012 has wasted a lot of time for previous directors with emails,texts&phone calls stemming from rumour not fact. Hopefully not too long to wait for the official announcement.
