Possible reason it is taking so long

Anyone in particular?  A picture would help.

Could be that the prospective new managers have been told that they have to work with Byrne and cannot bring in their own people. This will be a major stumbling block for many good managers who would all want to bring in their own backroom teams.

You would have thought Fitton would have learnt from the last time, as ineffective as Malpas was he should have been afforded the luxury of bringin in his own staff

Could be that STFC Bart likes to hide amongst the racks of children's clothing at Asda. This could really scare any children or young mothers which reach in looking for different sizes.

You'd have thought weirdos like Bart would be banned from populated areas, such fucked up behaviour really shouldn't be allowed.

IMO IT's is taking ages for two reasons: 1. fitton wants the right man and that means eploring every avenue and speaking to every otpion, which takes time and 2. He's spent a lot of time in the states.

I don;t see it as anything more, although if it is Byrne and Byrne stays, then I'll be mightily disappointed. It'll make this appointment as short-sighted as the last one, and I'd like to think we've learnt our lesson.

Time will tell.

I think it's taken so long so Fitton can appoint a good name just before people decide whether to renew their season tickets or not.

Tbf the day malpas went fitton said it would be a quick process

[reeves4england]

You mean wouldn't, right?

[Tails]

Tbf the day malpas went fitton said it would be a quick process

He did. I think he said a few weeks after it's been put back because of the quality of applicants..

No one really knows except the man himself I guess.

[Don Rogers Shop]

No he said would be a quick process and went on to say that people had already been ringing

You mean wouldn't, right?

Bart is wrong, the delay could be down to the fact Fitton has been receiving laser hair removal treatment on his upper lip in readiness for his "change".  New Managers are clearly put off by having to work for an ex-man in the near future and this is also proving a stumbling block for their backroom staff.  You'd have thought Fitton would have learned from the last time when he asked Ling to feel his breasts and see if they were just like the real thing.  While Malpas was ineffective he should have been allowed to manage without having sort Fittons high heel collection during the 1st half of games.

Haha that's exactly what I thought earlier. Maybe he is 

[Luci]

Hasn't Fitton also been in the US on business?

[janaage]

Yeah Fitton seems to spend a fair amount of time in the USA in December, remember last year during the takeover talks he kept dashing off to the states.  Must be either business matters, or his mrs insists on doing her Christmas shopping in Macy's.

It's wishful thinking but it's nice to put a positive spin on things when everyone else is moaning!

He can take as long as he likes as far as I am concerned, as long as we don't go down. We're not likely to make the play offs are we? so any appointment is for next seasons really. AF is probably working to the January Transfer window.
In the grand scheme of things, a few weeks with a caretaker mgr will have very little effect on the season. If the new MGr is the right man he will get us mid table any way. The important thing is that we get the right man.
Anyway regardless of that, AF & Co have imho earned the right to run the club as he sees fit as long as he is doing it for the good of the club ------which he is.
This time last year if you remember we were carrying a coffin to the boardroom at the last match with RIP STFC on it ! We had started to think the takeover would never happen, & the senario was very similar with peeps getting real impatient & worried... But AF & CO came through, despite those greedy B*@%$%d's holding out for more.  So I trust the guy to come up with the goods, particularly as it is less serious for us (We won't lose our club) & more serious for him (He's now piut a lot of money in).

[Simon Pieman]

The only problem is Phil, if some people are right and our players aren't good enough for league one, if we take too long, the new gaffer won't be able to bring in anyone in time.

Also, crucial run of games coming up in December. I hope we don't lose any. At least Byrne is capable of picking up draws.
