Apparently the several interviews were yesterday, weekend to finalise choice and confirm with 1st choice, think we could likely see something Monday/Tuesday, Hughton or not.

Northern Red Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I genuinely fear for the sanity and safety of a few of you if it isn't Hughton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was made with my tongue firmly in my cheek - hence the emoji. Having said that, no matter what manager fans' want, their not being disappointed with the appointment will last only if he gets the team performing. Any sort of LJ like downturn will quickly see opinions change. I've not particular favourite, other than the right man being the right fit and having the ability , and willingness, to operate within the structure the club has developed. Financial issues are going to be of ever increasing importance post cover, it's not so much the club doing things on the cheap but operating within the financial constraints to maintain sustainability in order to ensure ffp compliance( whatever those limits by be in the next year or so) and the club remaining solvent. Whoever is chosen will have my backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that's what the board are trying to ensure in making the right decision - even if it's not the quick decision many seem to think is essential.

Portland Bill Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 21 hours ago, Floatn Over said: Could it just be as simple as CH being on holiday ? Just saying. That has been my thought for a while now. Having a good holiday with his Mrs so he can hit the ground running Plus, getting his back room staff sorted, whose to say that the people he wants working with him aren’t currently employed by other clubs. It wouldn’t be good to have him answering questions at a press conference about his assistant coaches, and he answers with a name that is working for another club whose season hasn’t finished yet!

YGBjammy Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I would still love Hughton, but if he is not happening as he wouldn't fit in with our structure and the board feel he might put our stability at risk, then it's the right decision to not go with him. Not sure what other candidates excite me, I would like to see Robins or Cook, but people seem to have written them out already? Would be intrigued by a manager from abroad coming in; has worked well for other clubs if you get the right person. I wish they'd hurry up though just so I can stop compulsively reading these threads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Talksport and Daily Mail claimed we would announce Hughton this weekend (forget Gregor for now)... I'm hoping for a Saturday evening bumper announcement. They surely wouldn't do it on a Sunday... The last day of the prem.
