Sounds like one of the reasons things have taken so long is because they have been interviewing for both positions and so pretty sure we'll be announcing both a sporting director and manager at the same time. Might well be the case they interviewed the sporting directors and asked for the managers they would want during the process and then interviewed each directors manager preferences too.

In an ideal world I agree, who knows maybe that’s why it is taking a while and they are getting a sporting director in and he is choosing the manager.

And with money in Jan to build to his style he could be our manager for years to come.. before england comes knocking. As soon as the takeover was announced Potter was my preference.

We don’t know they are hesitating, I agree the time taken is a bit of a concern given our current position but the only time to judge them is after the new manager is named. If they announced a top class manager then they taking a few weeks wouldn’t matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 There's far too much talk of hesitation and indecision considering we have absolutely zero idea what's going on behind the scenes.

I honestly think they were not expecting anything until the Summer at the earliest. They have been caught with their pants down (especially the UK side I believe), however I do have some sympathy in this. Needs to be sorted now though as we’re not in a position to keep waiting.

Once the takeover went through, with Rafa having gone to Everton, seems they decided to review the whole situation and look at all available directors and managers, and interview their favourites. Bit of a process, but ultimately I think it will be in the best interests of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The bookies odds are nothing to do with talk sport. The bookies bet more than the punters do. It’s all an algorithm to balance every eventuality out so whatever happens they somehow come out ahead. It’s only really one off events like Cheltenham where non gamblers get involved when they take a hammering from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 So to be clear, it's been less than 2 weeks since Bruce was sacked and the club have reportedly been casting their net wide, interviewing various candidates for both the managers job and the DOF role, whilst trying to find a common goal between interviewees to give us a sustainable long term vision? Judging by some of the bed wetting, because we got pumped off Chelsea, I'm guessing there's not a vast experience of headhunting and high level recruitment on this forum? "Why didn't they just hire Fonseca on day one man!" Erm, because they aren't cowboys with itchy trigger fingers perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bet to a book, that’s why they are called bookmakers , you are right they try to even it all out and adjust odds accordingly. The betting market on this has been wild mind .

A Wigan fan earlier said he’s there a fair bit actually. His wife is from the UK so maybe seeing family? Why would he leave Belgium just before a World Cup when they have a chance of the trophy? 2+2= 5, methinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s because we are worried that going down would see this dream end badly? We are all guilty of getting ahead of ourselves here , the manor of yesterday surrender from the kick off was hard to stomach. We have seen that football for so long , I guess we all wanted/expected something a wee bit different. We are gonna have to be all patient with this , me included , fact .
