Also seriously worried about keeping Jones on tbh. The absolute shit shows he's served up in his two games in charge, after having worked with the squad for months really doesn't bode well for the future.

DOF and CEO should’ve been the number 1 priority. 

 

Hindsight and all that. Everyone seemed to want Bruce gone as the first priority.

 

EDIT: NPW

But this hasn’t happened overnight, the takeover has been ongoing for months, and let’s not pretend that people don’t line up jobs all the time while employed at other clubs. 

 

The takeover was essentially mothballed by the sounds, like. Its not been ongoing for months. All signs point to this thing pretty much starting up again when KSA and Qatar solved the piracy debate. Then 3 days later we had new owners and chair. And that was what, 4 weeks ago?

I’d love to say I’d pay whatever for Potter with a DoF but judging by the reactions on here he’d be hung, drawn and quartered by Christmas 

Think had been reported they don't want to further piss off any of the Premier League clubs at this moment in time.

Supposedly a very good coach, so don’t have any problems with him staying in that capacity. Should have no say in picking the team though.

With managers it's not necessarily about better or worse, it's about suitable or not suitable. Look at Moyes, Pellegrini, Mourinho etc. Sometimes managers are a bad fit and it doesn't work despite being great elsewhere. Howe is absolutely without question a better manager than Steve Bruce, that goes without saying, but that's the lowest of bars to clear and is he the right fit for this club with the players it has, in the position it's in? I don't this he is at all and I didn't think Fonseca was either FWIW. Who knows who it'll be now, but Emery or Rafa were the type we needed imo.

This wouldn't be such a massive deal if it hadn't been made public. They weren't even at the stage of negotiating a contract yet. We've probably been knocked back a number of times by now.

 

As it is, everyone knows they're at best second choice now.

Yeah, but presumably they would have at least had a heads up before then, I mean Ando off here knew? It wouldn’t have been literally overnight, no way imo.  You’d at least be sounding out options 

 

Ando posted in here on the Weds I think when the rumours online were already circulating. I dunno, but from all the whirlwind that went on in that first week it's hard for me to come to any other conclusion other than Stavely and Co had no clue the week prior that they'd be in new jobs running the club day to day by the following week. They were ready for the hearing in Jan. Why would they be planning and sounding out appointments if they didnt even think they were going to have decision to make this year. Christ probably not this season. If at all.
