Nothing wrong with not agreeing. The most important thing is getting the right manager in, thats a fact!! Ideally we would have the right manager in sooner rather than later but the most important thing is getting the right manager in Most players are on holiday at the minute, and likely waying up their options - hardly any transfer activity has been done so far n wont for a while so we arent exactly being left behind
But how long is acceptable before we appoint someone? I agree not much is going on but we are behind as it is and just feel like we are going to be starting from a position of weakness when the transfer window really kicks in.
Still would be daft not to wait and see if the Lens manager goes to Nice, especially if he has been told he’s the favourite to replace him. IMO if that happens it would be our own fault for taking so long to get contracts signed if potential candidates see a more attractive position become available. As usual this is pure speculation
I can take not getting still, but if we then go for him after all this time it just screams panic and cheap
For me another week i can live with but thats about it Want the new man in a couple weeks before the players return so everything can be planned in terms of sessions n then potential targets, so nxt week is the latest imo
Mate this Still thing has been the biggest piss take for a while. Courted him for an age. No compo now and we have took so long , it's no the wonder other clubs are on the sniff. Will only have ourselves to blame. Always been the risk.
With Hecky getting a mention I will say that I wouldn't have many complaints about the appointment itself, but the optics of waiting this long to appoint someone who was sacked the day after we sacked Mowbray and has been available ever since would be terrible.
Given the bits I have heard about the Still thing, then honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. It looked like it was finally sorted Monday but again, we have taken so long it's left an opportunity to other clubs to come in. If it is Lens he goes to, fair play. He has played the game too. But I definitely think it could have been resolved sooner and this wouldn't have been an issue.
Always been the way it seems, look at when we sign someone, that always takes an age, you’ll probably have a better understanding than me as to why but it’s frustrating to put it lightly
