Yes,,,, why would we not get hughton in now if we believe he is the best man for the job?? If we held off cause deano is doing a good job, then how could we have faith that the new man is the best man for us?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they will probably aim for an appointment in a few weeks, when we have concluded our season. To late the top mangers will be gone.Get on with it.

Wouldn't be shocked to hear it's pretty much already a done deal, with us just letting DH just get on with it for now and see where it takes us. I mean, that's what I am convincing myself on. Surely if they had one man in mind, it would be done by now? I think the signs are that they have a shortlist and have just started the interviews.

Ska Junkie Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I hoped that any new appointment could use the 5 (at the time) remaining games to assess the players at his disposal, given the short off season. Then it dawned on me, any potential recruit would probably be doing that anyway, possibly in an unofficial way but, given the standing of say CH, I would have thought he would be doing his homework now. I remember a good few years ago, SOD was sat in front of me in the Dolman, scribbling away furiously, 2 weeks later he was our Manager. Maybe assessing the squad is a prerequisite expected at any interview / meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numbeast Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 With 3 games to go there is little benefit in changing the coach. Saying that its the perfect time to unveil the new man who could sit alongside SL and the others assessing his future players. Also go watch them train, see what's needed in terms of recruitment whether a different coaching regime would benefit the squad. Mark Ashton has publicly stated the club have recruitment plans in place for various situations and I'd hope changing the coach/manager is one of those situations. If it is we've no doubt already got a list of ideal candidates and have a good idea of who we want. This could be a defining point in the clubs future and with the new season just around the corner the new man should be given as much time to assess the aquas as possible.

Kid in the Riot Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Winning the last two matches has been unhelpful in respect of making an appointment. SL said part of the reason LJ was sacked was because the chance of making the play-offs had gone. Now it's back on the table, and if Cardiff slip up tonight and we win tomorrow, the chance of the unthinkable happening increases. Worst case, we'd be two points off 6th place with two games to play and both games would be massive six-pointers. I think it makes an appointment unlikely until this season is resolved.

Because you think they don’t want to rock the boat whilst we still have a chance Kid, or because you think there’s a chance they’ll give it to DH if we get to the play offs ( I’m thinking the former but interested on your take).

LondonBristolian Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 It's only been 10 days since Johnson went. Appointments have been quicker but I certainly don't feel it is taking ages I think it unlikely anyone would take charge before the end of the season in any case - things are working well on the pitch and I don't see a massive reason for disruption or upheaval. Even if a new boss was appointed today. I imagine the pragmatic thing would be for them to observe what is working (and what isn't) over the next few games and start to implement their ideas from the end of the season. My feeling is it was always likely to take two or three weeks to appoint someone so I don't so much think it is being delayed but simply not being hurried.

No, I don't think Holden is in the frame. I don't think they'll want to rock the boat and plunge the new man in with so little of the season left. I also don't think they're sat around twiddling their thumbs either. I think we are well into the recruitment process with some interviews having already been conducted, and as long as both parties are happy to wait there could easily be an understanding that the new man signs the contract and is announced once we know for definite which division we'll be playing in next season. This brings a small element of risk of course but probably on balance one worth taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but I think the key thing is to bear in mind we want a manager who can do it over a number of seasons, not 3 games. There are plenty of managers who don't get it right in their first three games but go on to do well and I think it is a massive ask for any manager to get the most out of players he has not previously met and not previously worked with for 3 crucial games is a needlessly high stakes gamble. (That said, I also don't think we will make the play-offs as I think there will be at least one team that sets us an assailable target) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
