Adver News: Di Canio confident of imminent coaching job

[Costanza]

Wray's comments probably came with plenty of IFs and BUTs that the Adver chose to exclude because "TOWN MIGHT APPOINT A MANAGER ON WEDNESDAY" won't sell papers.

[Wiggler]

Excuse me? I made a valid point. JW said he expected to make an announcement today. He also said it was important a manager was in place sooner rather than later. They have been 'recruiting' since Wilson left.

I stand by my comment that JW should not have giving any timescales if they expected problems (which clearly has arisen). That does not make me an impatient idiot.

If Wray had given no timescales I can guarantee you'd have been on here bleating away "Why can't Wray put a timescale on this appointment, I don't feel like a valued fan being kept in the dark like this, haven't we learned from our past mistakes boo hoo hoo etc"

... you impatient idiot.

Well clearly he wasn't expecting problems. I don't see the issue. He genuinely thought they would be able to announce the new manager today but for whatever reason it's not happened. He was doing his best to keep the fans informed. I would much rather have that than a wall of silence.

Di Canio is into 1/7 with skybet after some hefty bets - someone knows something.

Can't argue with that

Been a wall of silence in the last 48 hours though.

I can't even find odds on our next manager now.

Disappeared from VC and Skybet

Betting suspended now

But that is the problem OST. JW as you say was keeping us in the loop, but for the last couple of days there has been a wall of silence. Like everyone else I want to see the board get it right and if that means waiting a while longer then so be it. Whether we as fans were led to believe that today was announcement day by the local media or not is irrelevant, and surely JW and the board know this, so any announment on the OS would not go a miss.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

It took us 6 weeks to appoint Wilson and the initial chosen target we didn't get because compo negotiations broke down. Let's hope that if it is that that's holding it up the board have learnt from previous lessons.

[Don Rogers Shop]

On stfc world last week Wray said that they are interviewing mon/tues and will announce by end of week. I don't see the problem.

[pauld]

I think most of us do Paul. I'm losing interest rapidly to be honest.

I'm quite happy (well, perhaps not happy ) for them to take the extra couple of days so long as they get it right. By which I mean Didi, of course

Didnt promise you anything, and he doesnt owe it to you. For fucks sake we havnt got a competitive game for the best part of 3 months. Let the board get on with the job. If it takes another 2 weeks then so be it, this is not a mid season appointment.

[Trashbat?]

Like a pint of guiness good things come to those who wait!

Although I think waiting another 2 weeks could be a disaster, as in not planning till after the play off final last year. We still have 9 players out of contract and need an overhaul of the squad

Players and agents will be on holibobs for a week or two. But I think you are right, if it were to go on for two weeks it would be indicative that something has gone wrong with all three candidates!

I reckon it'll be done and dusted by Monday at the latest.
