I know they are trying to get the best person for the job, not the cheapest. That’s massive but will take some time whilst they find their feet. We know how important a manger is to a club and this next appointment is as big as it gets for a club on its knees. I appreciate this point of view, but every day counts. I extended period suggests to me things are not going well and we are going to be completely underwhelmed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we aren’t really too affected by the international break the majority of our players don’t go so that’s a good period for the new manager to get too work.

Good point. I also hope that said people are observing these three games Jones will be in charge of to also allow them to get some idea of the level the current players are at, as far as matchday performances go.

Best price for Favre is 4/1. Whoever is running this recruitment drive is keeping it impressively watertight. It's Lampard, I tells ya. The bookies can sit back and count their money since he withdrew from the race. Why do you think he hasn't been announced yet? Because we play Chelsea on Saturday.

Thumbheed Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have faith the they're doing the right thing, but my concern is we could feasibly be a 1/3rd of the way through the season without a win, with about 8-10 unwinnable games after that. Its easy to look at the league and say we're only 2 wins away but that doesn't take into account that other teams have better runs and more stability. Having said that, the January window is gonna be mental and I am here for the ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games did we feel were unwinnable under Rafa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 My own thoughts are that they’ve had several candidates lined up, interviewed a few and were all ready to go, then they become aware of somoene better/more suited but is in a contract/a job and that’s the hold up. I reckon it’s Rafa, Gerrard or the Dutch guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) As great as the potential is with NUFC at the moment, it still probably goes without saying that the Barca job and the very likely availability of the Man United job coming up rules out Ten Hag, as amazing as it would be. Man United might and definitely should be looking at Conte and Barca might very well go for Xavi, but Ten Hag has to be in the running surely.

Wolfcastle Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Yorkie said: Chelsea is a write-off anyway but you'd hope the structure will start to take shape pretty sharpish soon after that; we can't just go on and on without a manager Brighton, Brentford, Arsenal, Norwich, Burnley to come before of an absolutely vile set of Christmas fixtures, so November/early December is huge. We took our time appointing a new manager in the midst of relegation battles in 88/89 08/09 15/16. Proved fatal. I get the lack of panic when literally two wins would change the complexion entirely but also fully get the encroaching concern, which if anything is more logical. If we get beat by Brighton it would be wrong not to be concerned surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
