New Head Coach

****ing hell. What a calamity.

 

It's way too simplistic to say you should have a number one target and just go get them. Doesn't work like that.

I do think though that after having no first team head coach for approaching 100 days now under the guise that we'd have the pick of the coaches this summer that an appointment should've been made by now. The only way writing off the best part of 3 months of a season is acceptable is if we get a good appointment.

 

Magnus posted that terms had been agreed between the club, Still and his brother and they were working on getting 2 other coaches in. Could your scenario have happened, agreement has since been reached and Fishpastes contact is passing on old news?

 

That had occurred to me that maybe fishpaste was being used to send a message.

Then he started slagging the club off and I quickly backtracked.

Still's representatives could absolutely be posturing for bargaining power though.

What a wild time it is in this crazy little corner of the internet.

 

Could absolutely be the case. It's all very opaque and we are just going to have to enjoy some of that squeaky bum time.

 

Took them a week, 3 months down the line and we still haven't got anyone in.

 

Bloody hope not

 

It's hardly enjoyment after all this time.

 

Yeah ok. Maybe a little simplistic, but I'd imagine you'd begin with a shortlist of those available, and who have been sounded out as interested. If the list becomes exhausted, then something mustn't be right and you'd modify your structure, process and/or plan. Either way, it shouldn't take as long as this.

 

Ben Knapper will do good things at Norwich from what I know of him. They'll sell and recruit well this summer and be a force next season.

 

No, it's not the most fun I've ever had.

 

What happened to the days you wanted a manager and he just resigned and joined you the following week

 

Oh, I forgot I’m not allowed to have any misgivings of the way the club is run on this thread. Get a life man.

 

Saw he was linked yesterday.

 

Anybody fancy Xavi as Barcelona have just sacked him?

 

"Xavi to Sunderland. Here we go. Confirmed"

 

If it takes this long to negotiate to get Still it will be 2032 by the time we get Xavi.

 

Personally think Still has been offered a better deal elsewhere, which if that is the case then fair enough but why everytime is there a massive mess with us? Surely for that alone questions need to be asked if the with higher ups at our club, im losing interest in it all

 

No idea on the reliability of this account but if this is true, it would suggest that Still may not be going there.
