It does but then I would probably be questioning why those candidates are turning us down. If better candidates are turning us down and we end up with 6th/7th choice then I’d start to wonder if our strategy is the right one to keep us going forwards.
Does it not depend on how involved the DOF is in day to day matters? Speakman does appear from his own interviews to be a bit too involved in first team discussions
Is Speakman not leaving though? I still don't understand who is making the decisions and conducting the head coach search.
Yeah, I think you would have to question why the preferred choices turned us down. It could be that the club has identified inappropriate candidates, it could be that they aren't offering the candidates the right things. Could also be things that the club has no control over though.
I get the feeling that he is staying for some reason. If he was leaving then I think that should have been done immediately after the season ended. Someone coming into that role needs as much time as possible going into the season and of course to appoint the head coach. Why would speakman be involved in the appointment if he was leaving, wouldn’t make a lot of sense imo.
The info i was given was that he was off, but that's gone very quiet as well
I'd have thought that it would be important for whoever takes the job to be happy with the working conditions. You'd hope that would be made clear to them before they took the job.
Agree with all that. Tell you what I’m ready for an announcement now haha impatience in me is draining. Fridays are usually a good day for an announcement
But if our DOF is more involved in the day to day side than a "normal" DOF would that potentially put off some very good coaches?
It would be nice if they'd just get on and announce it.
Agree with all that. Tell you what I’m ready for an announcement now haha impatience in me is draining. Fridays are usually a good day for an announcement
Yeah exactly. Everyone who gets information suggested he was leaving so what has happened?
I’m of the opinion that he should have gone after what’s happened this season but the more time passes after the seasons finished then I’d rather he just stayed. Don’t want big upheaval say in the middle of June early July and hurting our prep for next season
How does he show no conviction with decision making, other than pure speculation we have no idea who he has interviewed or wants for the job
Yep it's too late now. Other clubs are already signing players, we haven't hired a head coach yet so definitely don't have time to recruit a DoF as well.
The people on here and over the road who get info have and if they didn't say he was definitely going they certainly hinted at it.
Wanted to sack Mowbray last summer, didn't and it lead to an uncomfortable relationship between them which played out in the media and lead to an inevitable sacking.
