    There we go then, get your feet up and watch the play offs unfold, worry about the manager in 3 weeks

    Only takes us to the end of this month, it’s a long season you’d imagine a lot of people are away on holiday so things are naturally slow this time if year, no need to panic just yet

    Me too about Maric,and I really hope for an early announcement,but I don't think it will come. Other leagues aren't finished yet,International tournaments notoriously hold everything up,and most contracts in this business run to the end of June. I think our retained list could well be prepared by Dodds,heavily influenced by Speakman's contractual input,even if he's on his way,as some have suggested. Our scouting reports will already have been done and any potential additions to the squad are very unlikely to be completed early,particularly if any moves from PL clubs for any of our players are delayed.
    I'm desperately hoping I'm miles off track, as is usual in my life,but, my advice would be for everyone to temper their expectations and accept a few weeks of nothing more than the usual intrigue and rumours.

    Presumably they are waiting for the various leagues around Europe to finish so they are then allowed to potentially speak to coaches currently in employment. It's not really "a worry"

    I’m amazed there are 2, unless it’s Dodds and his wife!
    I didn’t mind him when in charge for the couple of games when Mowbray left. Against good sides we played well and did exactly what was needed. But since Beale he has been utterly terrible. I get that we were on poor form etc, but changing a team and dropping players after a good performance (notably Chris Rigg) then leaving Patto out last game.

    He can **** off. Then when he’s done ****ing off, he can **** off some more! Continue in simile ad infinitum!

    Sadly, I think he’ll stay. Based on nothing but a hunch!

    Michael's a good lad...his heart is in the right place. Unfortunately, sometimes his brain isn't.

    Think this is the club tempering expectations to be honest. Looks like we’re going to have a bit of a wait.

    3 weeks isn't ok mind. Other clubs have everything in place and are already conducting business. We are going to be on the back foot in what is our biggest summer in a long time.

    So much for the reported appointment straight after the last game.

    That was my first thought, tbf. Clubs have managed to do it. Liverpool have sorted Slot out whilst he’s still in work. 3 weeks is quite a long time - by which point Beale will have left 4 months ago…

    Yeah it's not as if we've just let Beale go. 4 months without a head coach. Not good enough.

    If its an overseas coach then I fully expect nothing official until end of season for the main leagues. weekend of the 18th.
    If its Still he may well have an agreement with Reims. Doesn't mean things aren't happening behind the scenes

    Didn’t Fishpaste say Amad was desperate to come back here or have I got that wrong?

    3 weeks indicates to me its someone currently employed, in some capacity. Just waiting for the season to finish
