broughtonblue Posted 6 November 2011 Posted 6 November 2011 Whether the owners were right or wrong to get rid of Sven has had enough debate on here and elsewhere, but I'm beginning to think they are being quite sensible in taking their time over the new appointment. If they had made a quick appointment the new manager would have had two really difficult matches in his first three games, plus a tricky away match, potentially losing two of these (or even all three!) would have put whoever it is under tremendous pressure from the start. I believe they would have had a couple of names in mind as a replacement, and with all the other applicants I believe they needed time to asses their options. After today's game we go into a two week break, so giving the incoming person time to asses the squad and hopefully decide on his preferred team/formation, and with Palace and Pompey as his first two games in charge, I believe he will have an easier start than West Ham, Burnley and Leeds.
Jace Posted 6 November 2011 Posted 6 November 2011 International break now so we haven't got a game for awhile so a rushed appointment for today would of been abit silly. Not sure how the club have kept so quiet on their dealings so far but shows good professionalism
rico Posted 6 November 2011 Posted 6 November 2011 agreed,new manager would have been under pressure from the off,hopefully all will be sorted after this weekend .
iancognito Posted 6 November 2011 Posted 6 November 2011 It's a cliche but there's no easy games/starts in this league. Our record against teams below us suggests we'd be better starting against 'bigger' opposition. But I don't think the Thais have planned this timescale at all. They've taken their time, not rushed an appointment, which is admirable and after today they've got another week to get someone in place and still let them have a decent amount of time to work with the squad before the next game. If we haven't got anyone in place by next weekend, I'll start to wonder exactly what they're asking at these interviews that are putting people off.
whoareyaaa Posted 6 November 2011 Posted 6 November 2011 Well at least they have done everything legit and not met Pearson on a train somewhere with a brown envlope

I'd agree that taking time is being sensible, but I don't think that our owners are actually deliberately doing so. If the speculation about asking Hull permission to talk to NP nearly 2 weeks after Sven's departure - 4 days after another candidate has publicallly declared no interest - it suggests we're being scattergun in the approach. Top's interview where he said he'd look at every application, and us now going to other clubs two weeks on would suggest that nobody out of work who has put their name forward is considered first choice, so we're now reduced to trying to grab managers at clubs - if we don't land one of these it makes me nervous about the quality of manager we'll actually get in.

You are right. With this club getting through managers at a rate of knots, who in their right mind would want to come? No one of quality. We remain a shocking disgrace at the amount of sackings. I feel extremely disillusioned by it all.
Guest Posted 6 November 2011 Posted 6 November 2011 It'd be nice to get the new manager in immediately so that he has 2 weeks to analyse the players and get them playing how he wants. No excuses from the off.
