The new, new manager thread. Thread closed.

If I was in charge of socials I'd put a real boring announcement out at 5 just to mess with people.

I must confess I have had a similar thought regarding some of the stuff Zav is supposed to have said, knowing how knickers get twisted I would be tempted to say all manner of stuff.

Another day passes, no 5pm announcement. Hope we're looking at before 12 tomorrow or Clem is going to get the same question a thousand times.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

I wonder if the salary is the stumbling block to getting the right person

[Shrivvy Road]

We don't know there is a stumbling block though. Club seem happy enough and behind the scenes i am sure they know who is staying and who is likely to sign etc

All will be ok i am sure

It’s almost as if the club want to take the time to make sure they appoint the right person, as they’ve been saying.

There’s time and there’s a long time. Factor in Clem knew Garner was off way before we did and it’s extraordinary how long it’s taken to entice someone to a piddling L2 club. They said they had a shortlist weeks ago and still haven’t whittled it down?

It’s obvious we’re struggling to get who we want for what we’re offering - and I don’t just mean financially.

And, if there’s anyone left who’s even mildly interested, Delaney has skipped past Piccareta as fav!

How does anyone know how far along they are into the process? 150+ pages of speculation. Some facts from SDM but he’s not going to divulge any more than he needs to.

I’m finding it equally frustrating but we need to remain patient. On no basis at all I’m confident we’ll hear something by the end of the weekend as pre season is creeping up

While I’d love to see an appointment soon, I’m still miles from panic stations. Quite content to wait a wee bit longer for the right fit

You can see why we are associated with the Magic Roundabout.  It isn't obvious we are struggling, the club has stated lots of people are away on holiday and the candidates need to be at the club to see facilities etc.

Hold your nerve people

meh, maybe we lost our top target(s), maybe we didn't

we are where we are and we will get the best manager available to us

still concerning that it's impacting us in recruitment.. but last year was worse

[Jimmy HaveHave]

How does the timescale compare with previous managerial appointments which have dragged on🤔

[Batch]

this one has in fact only been 20 days (since the story broke)

it feels much longer

Maurice Malpas to Danny Wilson is the one that sticks in my head - 14th November until Boxing Day, six weeks during the season with Byrne caretaking. I think Wilson was still employed when we fired Malpas...

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Still a way to go yet then before we get concerned!
