If the club know who they want they should act now…

I've been saying it for 12 months. Glad people are starting to see that those at the top are ******* clueless.

 

Ive just listened to his interview again and he didn't say that.He said there was some fantastic coaches who are interested but wouldn't be available until the summer.I took that to mean the end of this season.

 

"It’s in everyone’s interest to get someone in quickly and for them to be in charge of the pre-season. But I wouldn’t sacrifice that for the right person, I would rather wait.”

If that's a typo and he means he WOULD sacrifice it for the right person then it's appalling management.
If it's not a typo and he is saying he wouldn't sacrifice it but he would rather wait then it's gibberish

 

I definitely saw it in a report of his interview somewhere, no doubt about it at all.

 

Maybe I need to read the transcript then ,it didn't sound like he said anything of the sort apart from some applicants weren't available until the summer.Maybe its interpretation and I classed "in the summer" being the end of the season.

 

Fantastic coaches . Don't forget this is the same guy who thinks Mladen is doing a good job.

 

see above

 

I don’t actually believe that - as in what he says not you BMW. Why would they not be available until the summer (unless they’re actually working for another club)

If they’ve lost their job and it’s a contractual thing that’s utter BS as anything can be worked out if you want it to

 

There's a quote in a different interview where he states foregoing pre season to get the right person, I posted the same on another thread.
People aren't making things up.

 

Agree. It was in Friday's Chronicle.

 

Just expect the worst. I’ll be amazed if we appoint anyone before the middle of June. Unless it’s CH…..

 

Back to playing catchup on recruitment.

 

Fair enough I'd only heard the Radio Sheffield interview.

 

I just don't think he's up to it though Sheddy, at the moment.
I'd say Conor is a case of the right man, but at the wrong time. Yeah he's likeable and all etc, but he's not my choice of manager/coach.

 

Have we been tapping up managers/coaches if he knows that some would like to come at the end of the season?

 

Hopefully

 

Playing Devils advocate would you rather wait for Pep in the Summer or appoint Wayne Rooney now?

 

That's my take.. they know who they want but can't get him while the summer.. Whether that's currently working somewhere else or been sacked but on more money with his previous clubs pay off than we'd be paying him..
But there's also the longer you play the waiting game the more chance that you'll lose out on your target to a rival.. Don't forget there's two clubs within 15 miles and in the same league as us both looking for a head coach/manager as well..
