I actually thought that as I typed my reply. I believe you are correct... so that's 7 weeks to Monday 1st July. Still imminent
I don't think it's crazy just yet,but you're right,the new man needs to be involved in player decisions asap. I think we were all hoping for an early appointment,and any delay leads us to think that things are not working out as we want,but, that isn't necessarily so....other leagues haven't finished yet. Do you think there's anything in the Svensson thing?
Personally, I wanted SAFC to hit the ground running when the season ended. I wanted to believe the 3/4 months they had to be used intelligently and their business lined up and ready to be executed. I believe we must be waiting on a foreign coach...Maric/Bo/Still to not have appointed a manager yet. The Bo link could be credible not heard this link until yesterday, however big ask to get him to SAFC. We have a very tight commercial, management and football model. A lot of managers once speaking to the club will not like the situation..hence the managers weve had previously and them speaking out about the situation.
Players won’t even be back in for pre-season training for another 4 weeks. As long as we have someone in by then, that’ll do.
I think we might be losing sight of the fact loads of leagues are still playing. If it were to be someone still in employment then it’s not going to happen until they’re done.
And if they have been released earlier but are being paid to the end of their contract (usually 30th June).
Like you,I've wanted this resolved asap,and the Board must have been working on it since Beale left. As you say,it must be a foreign coach they're after....any delay must be contractual,and,whoever comes in,has to agree with the model,unless, their input persuades the Board to vary it?
Not sure if this is reality but would foreign managers be more used to this model than the oldies like Mowbray? It seems the DOF / coach set up is more the norm in Europe
Just because we’ve not announced anyone doesn’t mean that the potential candidate isn’t working away in the back ground until we can announce them
Wouldn’t be shocked if there’s an ‘in advanced talks’ type leak this week, I get it’s frustrating but no need to panic no one is even at the academy for the next few weeks and plenty footage for them to analyse in the meantime when they are appointed
Ill start to worry if we dont have anything announced after next week, a lot of leagues in Europe still have a week or 2 to go so fine if its the end of next week Will worry more after that tho
I'll have spontaneously combusted by next week , but I'm impatient. I just feel like after reports of KLD wanting it done swiftly after sheff wed and having the many months we've had to look at managers too, you'd think that we would be close now which Nixon has said we are but there's still no news about being in advanced talks etc
Agree, swiftly. We just need to be patient and wait for the good ship SAFC to turn. 2nd July is fine by me.
