Top Robin Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Would it be too much to ask to have a 'general' update regarding the manager situation from the club. For obvious reasons, I don't want names but just a statement which may say that the club has interviewed a number of applicants and are hoping to make an appointment at the end of the season or whenever. As fans, we are the lifeblood of the club and feel its a bit disrespectful to keep us in the dark about this. And generally, I feel the communication and correspondence from the club to the fans regarding important matters is really poor. It's like they feel that the fans don't need to know anything and it angers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I don't see the problem, you have just outlined what the club are doing in your post. Why would they be doing anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesco (other supermarkets are available) don’t tell you every time a decision is made and you are their customer. Like it or not thats what we are.

LondonBristolian Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I don’t know what a statement would achieve. We know the managerial role is vacant and we know they will make an appointment. We know they will interview people and at some point offer someone a job. If that person does not accept, the club will move onto someone else until they make an appointment. It is frustrating until an appointment is made but there is nonetheless nothing else to say. We are not in the dark. There is just nothing to tell us yet.

GrahamC Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 What are they going to say? We’ve interviewed some people? I think we can probably all work that out. So far the time between LJ going & now is still shorter than the one when he was appointed after Cotts left & the consensus on here is he was already identified to get the job, then. I would be surprised if we haven’t appointed someone in the next 10 days with the transfer window open then & the out of contract players to sort, but don’t think putting out some bland (non) statement would help here.

It’s not like the TV News where they have to have a broadcast even if there’s nothing happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just assume they are doing due diligence and taking their time to find the best person. If it angers you then try yoga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Club issues update statement to keep fans informed " we have received a lot of interest and have formed a short list of excellent candidates and will be going through a proper interview process to determine who is the right and best man for the job" OTIB posts in response: " Bullshit - they will go for the cheap option or someone called Johnson" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how you would feel if you were a football manager and all ready had your interview but not heard any thing back. There needs to be respect on confidentiality. When the club has a signed deal then of course they will communicate. tghe communication so far has been fantastic around LJ going. DH holding the rains etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Why ‘we hope to have someone appointed within 10 days’ if negotiations with 1st choice break down and start with someone else and 10 days pass ‘ffs they said someone would be appointed by now’ ‘shambles’ etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will use whatever the club says as a stick to beat them with. Whoever we appoint people will use it as a stick to beat then with. Appoint Houghton - He's going to demand too much money to spend/His wages are too high/poor style of football/too old/only cos of BAME Appoint LLM - It's the cheap option/LJ all over again/Why no experience/It's not Houghton Appoint Jokanovic - We spent too much to get him out of his contract/ its not Houghton/Not good enough for Watford and Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
