The Exiled Robin Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 It's been 8 days since Millen was sacked, should we have a new man in by now or are the Board right to take their time?

Pete1975Legend Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Knowing our board they are probably thinking if we can hold it out thats 3 weeks wages we can save!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportingmad0209 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 If they rushed it, they would be wrong. If they take their time (to get it right), they're wrong. Not that agree with everything they do. I don't think they can win on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Knowing our board they are probably thinking if we can hold it out thats 3 weeks wages we can save!!! Of course, with a turnover of tens of millions that three weeks of saved pay is critical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view is here: http://exiledrobin.b...w.html?spref=tw In any other walk of life it would take at least three months to conduct a thorough search and appoint to a top management position. How football clubs expect to make the right appointment in a couple of weeks beats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 In any other walk of life it would take at least three months to conduct a thorough search and appoint to a top management position. How football clubs expect to make the right appointment in a couple of weeks beats me. Pressure from the Baying Hordes is most likely the reason, and the limited time scales to get things right if you are in the do do. Completely different than any other market. And that is why o many appointments end up being poor. Sometimes it maybe worth looking at the bigger picture, take into account you make tak a big hit with relegataion, and make sure you get the right man for the long term welfare of Bristol city. I don't think that will go down too well with the fans, So I expect a relatively quick appointment in the hope the new manager can keep us up, rather than a proper process you would get in any other industry, where there would be several interviews, the long term plans are met not just the short term. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the manegerial merry go round lasts for the next 2 or 3 seasons down at the gate. But I have my fingers crossed they get lucky and find a guy that fits well with city and both short term and long term goals are met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJC Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Would think appointintment will be announced Monday or Tuesday of next week with Birmingham at home being the new mans first game. Big game, big opposition, big crowd, big occasion. Makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know the outcome of that, more disillusioned fans going home from their first ever game, never to return. I'm a cynical old git! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 There's an interesting chapter in the book Why England Lose: And other curious phenomena explained by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski (which is a cracking read, BTW) - where basically they say that it should take as long as it takes and rushing in and appointing a 'name' isn't necessarily the best move. I like the sound of McInnes - a gamble, but a great potential. Robins would be OK as well - I'd rather an up and coming manager than someone who's nothing to prove. Mind you, we are in the sh17 at the moment so some experience might help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exiled Robin Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Interesting that majority of responses here seem to be OK with length of time being taken to appoint, very different to view on Twitter where most are up in arms about it taking so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the board are delaying the appointment because they can't unanimously agree on a candidate? And, what if the board wish to appoint candidate 'A' but our majority shareholder wants candidate 'B'? All intriging stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never a chance of a decision like this being made before he got back. I reckon lansdown will talk to the two prefered candidates over the weekend or on Monday and the decision will be made after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
