Title: 23 days

Thats what it took to appoint McCann, we have n’t got that luxury this time around, I hope there are irons in the fire already

Needs to be an absolute maximum of 7 days from now in my opinion, preferably less.

None of this identifying and interviewing multiple candidates lark, target one and go get him. If Hull can take McCann from us in the space of about 3 says then surely we are capable of doing the same to get his replacement.

Depends if we want to pay for someone currently in work, or if we will just target those readily available.

I'd go for Adkins.

Don't the players start back in training in a week or so? That has to be the marker. Infinitely better if they don't turn up (some of them on their first day) and see no manager, just a fitness coach.

Adkins will be out of our league I would've thought.

Fitness tests Thursday/Friday I believe, which to be fair don't require the manager. But they then fly out for La Manga for pre-season training camp, so we need someone in place by then at the absolute latest, you would imagine. I'm sure Gavin and David are aware of this and will be planning our next move now.

What's more important is that we have a manager with players he can bring in quickly. We won't have time to spend ages drawing up a shortlist of potential signings.

If you believe Mccann, some of the players he'd been watching for months. We have to do it in less than 6 weeks.

It will be a manager out of work , i just can't see our board doing the dirty on another team at this crucial stage.
If this is the case it will narrow down the search and no doubt agents will be on the phone now.

I don't care and i know what it's called , but i personally don't think our board will go down that route , i could be wrong obviously .

They’ll have four lists A,B,C and D

Just like Grant when going for players.

Ill expect an announcement later today saying we welcome applicants and we will go through them and then shortlist them for interviews.

And there will be people saying this is the correct way

It’s not

Agree. We need to decide WHO we want and go and get them.

Hull have done it within 3 days.

So we can afford to have our month long vetting process?

How on earth is it?
We take 3/4 weeks before appointing the manager, will mean we will have a starting 11 of 7/8 players 2 weeks before the season starts

Would be absolutely ludicrous

Lots of differences
We had a decent squad then and we weren’t 5 weeks before the season started

I've a feeling it'll be a hybrid. They'll put something out saying welcoming applications but have a list at the same time.

You never know who might throw their hat in the ring.

You’ve not handled this very well, have you?

As you may have encountered from women / men previously, people leave. Often not in ideal circumstances. Life goes on! This was not the doing of the club but these things happen.

There’s plenty of people saying we can’t wait 3/4 weeks comrade.

If they were to appoint early It would certainly show that the board have been on top things , as a long delay may derail loans etc .

So sit down, shut up and wait for the Club to make an announcement one way or another.

By the same token how do you know who he knows? As has been said elsewhere he’s the only one giving any kind of information during this sorry saga
