Rob W Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Can we do it so the new one has enough time to buy some players? the new man will have less than 2 weeks - and everyone will know he's desperate so prices will be crazy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 No doubt we will find out if they have taken your advice within 18 months or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Agree in a way, if they wanted rid they could have done so in December for a start, nothing has changed since then has it? Lends more weight to the 'someone too good to turn down' theory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This window may end up a write-off, unless Mort does push through the reported deal for Diarra, but lets hope we get the right manager in, and he gets major funds in the summer, and we can challenge for some major, quality signings and try and start well next season.

Keefaz Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 As I said elsewhere, the beauty about appointing someone now is that he has almost half a season of zero pressure to get to know the players and club, work out what needs fixed/replacing and get ready for summer.

Guest Echo Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 if they wanted rid they could have done so in December for a start, nothing has changed since then has it? That's the thing though, I think something has changed abruptly behind the scenes in the last couple of days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go quite as far as that, many fans will want to see instant improvement and/or progress IMO. Take your general point though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new manager is going to get a boost out of his players playing for spots etc. So whoever it is should have a bit of time to settle in on the new manager honeymoon. Remember Allardyce started out pretty swimmingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mucky01 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 if it was Fat Fred who had sacked a manager at the start of the transfer window and then we would all presume that next the window would close and surprise, surprise no money spent and a new manager appointed with FS pockets bulging.

Lends more weight to the 'someone too good to turn down' theory. That's exactly what I was thinking must be someone good otherwise why bother?
