BetterRedthanBlue Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 It wouldn't make sense to wait until the end of summer, get in a coach now with 3-4 games left to assess the squad that way when the transfer window does reopen they already have a plan for outgoings and incomings.

Davefevs Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I think the sacking was made to get ahead of the competition. Appointment might take a couple of weeks, but new manager is in situ for the start of the close season at worst....whereas other clubs will still be sorting out stuff.

Kid in the Riot Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 All Gregor has said is that "some" sources "suggest" that if City can't get their man now then they might have to wait until the close season A complete non-story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world has moved on. Merely suggesting people shouldn’t read too much into “our sources say this” today. As an older fan, I appreciate this is no different to ringing Clubcall every day to get the gossip as I often did. But gossip is all it is most of the time.

Fuber Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Could the players have contacted the board in greater numbers? Apparently happened with Gary O'Neil during his first season with us amid the losing run didn't it? Difference then is that it was only 3 or four players rumoured wasn't it?

keflav Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Unless we are taking a manager from another Club, then I don't really see the point in waiting. Just get on with it now and let the new manager have time with the players.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its poor form to actively look for a new manager if you already have one. Doing the right thing was to let LJ go if it was your decision. Now the club have the luxury of time. I think it might be a mad scramble for the managerial merry go round at the close of this season. This puts us out in front of that. Bonus is we have Mark Ashton, and lets face it the bloke can deal. I would expect 2 or 3 to be selected already and now its about getting that deal over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 No hate against Gregor but that article reads like pure opinion on his part not informed in any way. I think we will see a new manager in a couple weeks because we will only get a short preseason due to the delay of this season. Gives the new manager assessment of what he's got and competitive games to kickstart next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
