It's the planning for training sessions that is the most important. The coach needs to be able to get their ideas and instructions across to the squad and then possibly more importantly is the individual development plans that need to be formed. They can't do that if they haven't been able to analyse last seasons games properly which takes time.

They need to move and then get settled into the area, as do the coaches they bring which takes time.

You mention why can't the coaches who are remaining do this. Because we as a club don't have a set style of play so the incoming coach pretty much has to set that, no point coaching for a certain style if the incoming head coach then changes it. Then the fact that Dodds and Proctor could be leaving the club.

@FellTop would be able to explain better than me. I can only explain from my positions as a scout and data analyst.
In fairness, if this is done right it shouldn’t be too burdensome on whoever it is themselves, the club should take care of it all for them. Providing temporary accommodation, setting up transport, packing and shipping belongings across, enrolling in schools, presenting options for permanent abodes etc etc.
 
If the snippets of information we have gotten from the ITKs are true, we have thrown everything at Still to get him here. If and when we have moved onto our second choice, have we started/will we start with a low offer and the whole thing drags on again? Just wondering

Cheers. Actually it’s not. It’s honking it down to the point that our roof has leaked and damaged the floor and ceiling necessitating our very first household insurance claim in 30 years.
That said, we had a great summer and autumn.
We’ll probably get all the repairs done before a head coach is appointed mind.

Hi Jimmy
.
Welcome back
I was in Melbourne for 6 weeks in March and April and the weather was stunning. Best autumn for years they said.
Best not spend too long on here for your sanity's sake. Weeks of sh*te since Beale left here and otr.
Hope you get the house sorted and hope you and family are well.

I'm not praising SAFC for the future appointment of a manager we can all get behind. Nor am I praising the.about the time scale as I've no idea what that is.

Yet some people are happily, and repeatedly, criticising the club on both counts ...

... as Terry said on the Likely Lads, 'Let's get our retaliation in first'.
 
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Still outcome clarified later on this evening or tomorrow morning now that Nice have officially announced Franck Haise as manager.

Hope you and yours are well Jimmy. That's not good about your house, I hope it wasn't my brother in law who built it :emoticon-0101-sadsm

I'd suggest there is a growing disconnect between the club and the fanbase and it falls on both to improve the relationship.

Hopefully a good summer starts mending things.
 
New kit reveal in the next week or two I'd imagine, they better get it sorted soon with the head coach or the marketing campaign is gonna be covered in ****e in the comments. From what I've heard and seen these kits are a big deal, will make the last few look like Sunday league kits with the detailing in these ones

If - If - Dodds and Proctor end up running pre-season then we're just adding more games onto all those we wrote off last season.

Simply unacceptable. You would imagine the crowd would be poisonous at that point.

All of which takes time and you'd want it all sorted before the coach(es) starts to concentrate on the club.

There's time if the appointment is soon but i'm well within my rights to be concerned about it right now.
