Where's Ray Lew?
Hopefully he is indeed on a scouting mission, and not going to have a chat with a certain Mr Jordan!!

Maybe he has gone.Noades has sacked him twice already.The first time Ray stayed away for a week waiting for his contract to be paid up but when the money didn´t arrive he returned back to work.

Scouting mission i think not. The likelyhood of us bringing in any players over the close season is so minute, I have got more chance of winning the lottery!!!!

I think he is more likely to be talking to a certain Mr Dwight, than Jordan. Vialli wants Wilkins as his number 2 and Butch has probably recommended Ray Lew as the man to complete the team. Wilkins will be fully aware of the sh*t that Lewington has had to put up with this season and ....
I'm depressed.

Maybe he popped over to Madrid to have a ganda but more likely to watch Yeovil v Hereford and some Yeovil players that have bin mentioned!

See Turnstile Bees thread
"Noades as New Manager"
This could reinforce the rumours that RL is going to become new Palace manager, with Bullivant as coach, and Ron takes the helm once again.

Sounds likely. Butch and Lew are very good friends. Was that the only reason he spoke kindly of us?

I really think it is very unlikely that Lewington will become Palace manager. That looks likely to be George Graham or Gerry Francis.
I can confirm however, that the core of this story is definitely true. Ray is not going to be at Swansea tonight. If I hear anything more, I'll post it.

Maybe It won´t be such a bad think if RN becomes manager again.At least the cheque book will be waved around again.Stop overs at Bisham Abbey, Five star hotels etc

Dream on. Ron has no intention of taking over as manager again. It will be Wally Downes.

Don't believe for a second Ray is on a scouting mission. Maybe all the stuff re Palace is true, and Vinney Jones is about to step in and take over?

blimey your binoculars must be good to see from there...
if only Ray shouted at players they may actually listen and we might play football..
who cares what happens? We're gonna be lucky to stay up with or without Lewington next season.
those who think we have the players for promotion may be right, however we don't have the manager.

After watching his unique brand of man management last night (ie calling them all tossers and screaming at the top
of his voice for 89 minutes), if they make that f***ing idiot manager I will be looking for a new team to support,
which would be a shame after 21 years of following the Bees. "
and thats after 60 secs of searching! LOL

at least what he shouts is usually correct, if only they bloody listened in the first place.
i wish Lewington would shout a bit more.

Bloody hell! Supporting this club is like being on a permanent roller-coaster.
Hope the rumours are not true but I would'nt be surprised - or blame him. Lets face it Lew has had his hands tied over signing new players and things don't look like improving.
Never thought I'd say this but it looks like Noades is doing a better job then W£bb - if you get my drift (I have to be careful he might be reading this ..haha). BFC R.I.P

Bloody hell, talk about chinese whispers..RL is not on the bus so we go from Ron noades as manager to vialli at watford, RL at palace and vinnie jones buying brentford in about half an hour!!!!
It is all BS again. He is probably ill!!
That article says we need a point tonight when actually we don't need one at all!!!

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Lewington was appointed at Watford along with Vialli and Wilkins.
He always said he didn't really want to be a manager again and preferred just being a coach, so if he's been offered the role, expect him to take it.

mhead bee, the RL to Palace and Ron as Ron manager rumours are all from a few days ago. Indeed, I heard about them last week and Turnstile Bee posted them on Sunday as the key was Alan Smith being sacked.!

Watford's press conference is to announce their new management team.
Vialli is favourite for the job, I really hope we are wrong about this.

If Lew leaves for Watford, fair play, great opportunity to work at a decent club, good chairman & great management team (assumption on Vialli & Wilkins). If he is going to Palace then he is a muppet. Can't see the grey haired fella upstairs liking that though, unless Jordan sells but reading articles lately, thats the last thing on his mind. Whatever his reason, if he does go, you can't blame him really. Just look at the situation BFC are in at the mo...... top players to go, no money to spend despite LDC success, possible ground share with the mighty...er, Woking or Kingstonian. Nice. What a great prospect.

Listened to club call 9 am today and it was last nights recording saying that an interview will be heard at 8am tommorow with RL.
Just phoned back now and it has changed to a normal report with no mention of RL at all!!!
Smells fishy around here....or is that my sardines on toast I can smell?

I don't like this at all, but lets try and be positive. Its always the worst, with us lot. Lets be honest we can't change anything if Ray wants to go, he deserves better than RN giving him all these problems!!

Uh oh folks, there's some bad news going to come out of GP very shortly - watch the official web-site (although knowing RN's PR skills and desire to let us fans know first, we'll probably read/hear about it from somewhere else first)
All those who questioned whether Ray Lew was right for the job on another topic will no doubt be pleased with what you're going to hear
As always being a Bees' supporter, it's onwards and downwards !

Well Mr Wilkins has spoken to Lew since Saturday that for sure. He said so on sky's voiceover of the Rotherham game. "I spoke to my friend Ray Lewington after the game and he says he was unlucky to lose."
Nice of him to call to see what Ray thought of the game. Or for Ray to call him to let him know.

If he goes I don't think it will be to Palace. Jordan came out and said yesterday that he is in no rush to make an appointment and will take advise both inside and outside of football before making his choice.

From Sky Sports yesterday..
JORDAN RULES OUT COPPELL
Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has ruled out three of the managers who were favourites to take over from Alan Smith.
The Eagles supremo sacked Smith yesterday (Sunday), but has already said there is no chance of his predecessor Steve Coppell returning to the club.
And Jordan also ruled out another former Palace boss, Dave Bassett, as well as quashing rumours that he would make a move for Wycombe's Lawrie Sanchez or Brighton's Micky Adams.
He told the Evening Standard: "I think Steve (Coppell) was cute to leave when he did because he knew the players and the situation we were about to face.
"He will not be coming back and neither will Dave Bassett. Lawrie Sanchez has done no more than Smith did, getting his club to a cup semi-final, and Micky Adams has only had success in the lower divisions.
"We could be in the lower divisions next season but the club does not belong there and the squad does not have that feel to it.
"I have also heard George Graham and Stuart Pearce mentioned as possible candidates but I don't know and I have not made a decision.
"I am not going to drag it out for the sake of it but I have got until June 25, when the players are due back for pre-season, and I want to make the right decision.
"I will talk to people inside and outside of football and I will not be rushed."
Chief scout Steve Kember will take charge for the final two games of the season, starting with the crucial game at Portsmouth, which will see them relegated to Division Two if they fail to win.

The Evening sub-Standard is running the Lewington story that he may go to Watford & they have to get the odd story correct from time to time.
Either way, as I'VE SAID FIFTY TIMES AT LEAST THIS SEASON. THIS CLUB IS IN SERIOUS sh*t !!!
Too many people have had enough of the doom & gloom that surrounds Griffin Park & have voted with their feet. We have one season possibly to save this club.
The talking has to stop & the action begin !!
Without a fairy godmother flying in soon, we could be the next Brighton & Hove Albion.
Unlike Brighton, there may not be a happy ending either.
