I feel as if Acun is prepared to have Dawson till the World Cup to let the manager have those 4 weeks as a mini pre-season. Logical thing to me would be to get someone in ASAP, let them see the team and then have the 4 weeks to build on it.

Really wishing we had Carvalhal as of now!

I don't see Acun has the luxury of those choices. I think he can't find anybody suitable who wants the job.

Agreed. Struggling to reconcile this idea of using have many top candidates applying (Acun’s words) with an approach of ‘no rush’.

It's the same as players. Certain clubs with certain budgets compete for the same players and managers. Each club has a list in order of preference, each player or coach also has a list in order of preference and there's quite often a domino effect once the clubs higher up in the food chain start making decisions.

We can’t really be waiting on other teams though. Things are going to get worse before they get better on current trajectory.

We certainly need a winner. This division swallows up teams not prepared or strong enough for it.

Huge call from the owner coming up.
 
Parker, Bielsa are still available. Somewhat left field, Michael O'Neill and Darren Ferguson both have experience at this level too - Ferguson's teams generally didn't play bad football. I suspect neither of the latter are "sexy" enough for Acun though.

Right now we just need someone in who can help the squad carve out a couple of clean sheets...
 
Burnsey reckons we're third in the pecking order behind the Baggies and the Smoggies...
Have things got that bad?

Dawson seems to be getting a disproportionate amount of grief after only 3 games in charge.

I’ve not seen Dawson get any grief to be honest, his subs at times have been odd.

Being fair both McCann's and Shota's subs were equally odd. Think it reflects the absence of balance in the squad more than managerial ineptitude.

Whoever manages us, people say the subs are wrong. Dawson isn't the solution but he's not the problem either and shouldn't be taking any stick for a team that was performing badly long before he was managing it.
