More like: "Expectation perception describes how our beliefs about what will happen influence how we interpret and experience what is actually happening." It also applies to how each of us perceives what is happening during games.
We're now over a week in to this "next manager appointed before the next league match". I'd assumed, perhaps naively that the next gaffer would have a few days training with the squad, it appears not. With that in mind then, what was the actual point of sacking Manning if we're having a caretaker in charge? We may as well kept him on whilst the board conduct their "detailed assessments", so much for any sort of succession plan in place at board level.
We still have a week to go…just how quickly do you think the process takes? We are a week in! With Gary O’Neil now ruled out of the race it’s possible the new manager may be announced today or tomorrow and hopefully starts straight away so they will have a couple of days training the team.
The whole thing seems a bit strange: "Tomasson made it to the latter stages of the process, but Norwich have now decided on their preferred option - with talks continuing to get a deal over the line. They are believed to at an advanced stage as the Canaries bid to confirm an appointment before Saturday's trip to Birmingham." https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/25629112.norwich-city-head-coach-latest-tomasson-ruled/
Left-field, not in any of the betting, rumoured to be 49-year old, former Premier League star, add in an Arsenal connection, currently not under contract .................... and who do you get? (P.S. Just playing games )
It depends, if they are flip-flopping from one manager to another and failing to agree terms with their chosen candidate, I’d agree. If this is just the Press desperately trying to make a chain of stories as they struggle to get detail from the seemingly not-quite-so-leaky Norwich board, while the Norwich management goes serenely through a rigorous and fair selection process before announcing terms with their choice, I’d say it is quite the contrary. In other words, I don’t think anyone can claim it’s anything with certainty - I do like the fact that the rumours make it clear nobody knows though.
The club must realise that they're not in the kind of position they were in the days when they had parachute payments and they were still seen as a yo-yo club. The club won't want to give the kind of suicidal four-year deal they gave to Manning (they've wasted enough money already on sacking Thorup, compensating Bristol and now sacking Manning), but the people the club want will realise they're the ones in a strong bargaining position. Not just in terms of salary and length of contract, but also how much say they will have in recruitment, for example. It's a mess of the club's own making. EDIT: Also, any manager is going to be very wary of a club that has sacked 5 coaches in 4 years.
I agree but I’m bemused by the negativity All the output from the Press suggests a systematic process and a final two (Tomasson and another) They have nailed their colours to the mast now, so if it is not announced tomorrow they will look like they haven’t managed to agree terms with their top choice
Hardly a right old shambles just because the names aren’t out in the public, I believe the term is interview process. If anything they should be commended for keeping it quiet. Until we know who he has been turned down in favour of we can hardly judge the decision
