NE27 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I think there are probably shit tons of names falling into the hat, people pushing their clients etc. They've done the right thing in shifting Bruce on. GJ knows that he has a few games now so we have a little breathing space to carefully select the right candidate. Let's hope we can get some points on the board to avoid the new man being cut adrift when he starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve probably been a tasty proposition to agents and managers alike. edit: And we still ended up with Souness and chasing after Bruce ffs Edited October 23, 2021 by TheGuv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wrong have to wait and see what happens. Too simplistic. I'm not saying that it's certainly Fonseca but what if they haven't arranged a face to face until say Monday, after the Palace game. He might need flights, accommodation, agents, solicitors, personal documents etc. What if the club hasn't signed off on him yet? We know that we have a slow decision making process.Sometimes things can be slow in football. On the other hand, I still think there is a fair chance of someone else being interviewed next week. Favre perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interviewing other managers wouldn’t stop them because if they wanted him they wouldn’t need to. I’m not bothered either way, I’m glad they are taking their time and hopefully we win today to give them more space to get the right man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need to because that’s the process they’re following? It’s a weird argument to make I think, that no-one on the board really wants him because they’re interviewing other people? That’s not how recruitment works if you’ve agreed as a group to follow the process. Anyway, I’m glad they’re taking their time too, hopefully we don’t have to wait TOO long though so we can all argue about something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I’m sure I’ve heard them use the word “process” many times since the takeover happened. In any business, you can’t hire the first person you interview just because he’s a great candidate. You go through the list and then make a decision.

GWN Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 2 hours ago, David Edgar said: Dunno about that. Even if they like him, they'll want to be diligent and look at other candidates. Then there will be the contract negotiations, coaching staff decisions. Not gonna happen as fast as it does on FM. but Jones has been given 2 games, all of next week and beyond without signing him? Nah they are looking around at others as well , clearly don’t have a number one target now , no problem in looking and interviewing etc . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It’s actually refreshing that the powers that be are making sure they get the perfect fit for the club. 2 games is nothing in the long term big picture if you take into consideration logistics of bringing someone in from another country, settling them and family into the area. Not forgetting discussion around the appointment of the new back room staff and suchlike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got more attacking talent than most of the bottom half of the table as it stands, just need to improve their fitness and availability + competent coaching + new coaching/management team + jan additions we'll be fine important to get the right person now and identify the right targets though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we do go foreign for this appointment. There was some really left field names on there, most of whom I'd never heard of. Props to the Athletic football writers though, they certainly know their football. I think I might keep that subscription past the trial period after all. really refreshing to read that level of insight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 FWIW Roy Hodgson and Potter were on there as well, but I got the feeling that was more just so that there would be a couple of English options as well. Not sure they were that convinced themselves about the wisdom of appointing one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
