My worry is we are that desperate to get Still, what does it say about our plan B and C options??
The deal was agreed last Sunday contract sent on Monday Still changed his agent who got him the Lens job and he chose to go there , who could foresee that - we must have a lot of people who can see in to the future on the forum judging by the criticism of the club . Yes we didn’t get the long term number one target and no we didn’t appoint an alternative immediately ,better that we react in a sensible manner . Remember the old adage of act in haste repent at leisure , we have already made a major error with Beale , better to keep our heads and make a measured judgment on a replacement rather than rush in and make a further mistake .

I read that through twice before I chose my response ...

... well said mate, that's the clearest summary so far.

Thanks for that , as you get older you have experience of things not going to plan . What is important is not panicking but assessing what went wrong and coming up with an alternative within a reasonable timescale - not jumping in and repeating past mistakes .

I generally agree of course but the last 12 months plus have not been good and not just the coach. I don’t see them putting our recruitment mistakes right ie those overseeing it. Is there a plan for that ?

We’ll soon find out. Zero trust currently after the hideous recent windows.

All clubs make mistakes in recruitment, many much worse than ours ...

... in the grand scheme of things our squad has improved tenfold since KLD arrived.

People trash our recruitment then complain that PL clubs are after half our team.

Worse than Beale and not having a centre forward for two years?

Sunderland wanted to bring in René Marić as head coach in the winter. FC Bayern didn't let him go. Today, the English are trying their luck again. There is no official press release from Bayern yet stating that Marić will be Vincent's assistant coach #Kompany . ( @kessler_philipp )

I did wonder how our support would've reacted if we'd appointed Kompany before this weird Bayern episode.

He was a total failure in the PL and his team played some of the most insipid football that league has ever seen, on a par with Mick McCarthy.

He took Burnley up, with parachute money and a team Dyche had built ...

... how would he have done with our squad?
 
I’m not sure that we now have a better squad than the League One Play Off final squad

Yes.

As one example Birmingham sacked a manager, while in the play-offs, who ended up relegating them to L1.

They appointed Rooney, who was an absolute disaster, then Mowbray in a panic ...

... when he went AWOL they gave the job to Venus, who declared himself incapable, then Rowett who was worse.

Come on man, how many of that team were PL clubs after ...

... and don't forget Cirkin was bought by KLD, perhaps others.

I can't be too clear, I've been drinking champagne and shots all afternoon <laugh>

BTW, you've only posted your first 11, post the squad if you believe what you're saying ...

... absolutely no comparison imo.

Regarding this I honestly think we will be trying for Maric and with reports that Bayern are now looking at some else to be assistant gives me confidence
