I reckon they had a manager in mind. That they have possibly even spoken to, lined up as the next manager. Then Phelan goes and wins the first 3 games and throws a spanner in the works.
Hope so, as Phelan definitely deserves his chance. Even if it is simply down to a great surname that lends itself well to some songs!

I would be absolutely furious if Coleman was appointed City manager. His record at club level is patchy. And that's being generous.
Glad to hear it, I think Phelan deserves a crack at it, I had my doubts, but the way he's conducted himself over the last few weeks, very impressed
If ? , as the majority of us hope , Phelan is appointed manager at some point in the near future , would he look to appoint a new number 2 or would Clem step up as his assistant ?
