I wouldn't read too much into the timeframes quoted. What he has done is made clear that nobody should expect any updates imminently so it takes the pressure off and removes expectations of immediate announcements. I don't think they'll envisage us being managerless for 4 weeks and I also think they'll already have a pretty good idea of how they rate Davies and Pearson and how viable an option that is.

Going from the interview - directors are not concerned about Davies and Pearson being in charge of the team for a few weeks- at least they will be on the bus for the duration and receiving feedback - inputting information from/ to the players.
Might lead to a healthy team spirit 🤞

Quoted from DB


Nobody at the club will tell us exactly when the decision to sack PH was made, but it was clear that Doncaster was the last chance saloon for PH. JS intimated that they had looked at the dour results for a while, so Saturday was not a knee jerk solution. Whatsmore 2 very astute successful businessmen will already have formed some ideas about what they want a new manager to do, and possibly a list of targets. Today not only out of work managers are considered but those, and there assistants who are in work.



Whilst JF would have made his mind up by a few choice shouts from the crowd (mercurial springs to mind) these guys seem to be measured. Doncaster match was just the last straw. Something has to be.

Boy oh boy you all seem to be viewing the present leader through very heavy "rose coloured specs"...
I for one am not impressed and i believe the process he is talking about will take a month or more,  meanwhile while Nero fiddles, Rome burns....

I can see Davies and Pearson being offered the job of joint managers similar to Hurst first time and Gobby.


Don't knock it till you've tried it .

Looks like he is advising Town


Have you just come out of hibernation or something? 😅

He's been around for a while now.

With a fixture list of Slough Forrest Green , Morecambe and Sutton over the next month they have given a big chance to BD & SP. With the normal manager gone bounce I wouldn’t be suprised if we win all four. That  in itself may be a problem because I can’t believe appointing  such an inexperienced pair can really be the promised step forward

Before you get confident about beating Morecambe, check the League 2 table first……

I hope not. The last time we appointed an inexperienced internal candidate in a relegation battle we got Neil Woods.

We all know how that ended. I would prefer an experienced EFL manager.

Quoted from forza ivano



Oh well, as the wife often tells me, I was completely wrong!



although a massive fan of 1878 I can see where you're coming from. Have to say I was disappointed in that -hoped they'd go down the sporting director route and also thought they'd have been far more pro active. One could argue it's the Fenty approach, with  a bit of expert outside help.

Hopefully the interview was a bit of a smokescreen and they're actually much further down the track.

Does beg the question as to whether we will actually end up with another old name off the managerial merry go round



He clearly states the 'director' model is a plan for the future, trying to do it mid-season surely would be too much? I'm sure this will be a conversation they will have with potential candidates so they know what the plan is moving forward.
