An update from the chair

Quoted from 141269

Have you just come out of hibernation or something? 😅

He's been around for a while now.

Has he? What’s he been doing 😂

Good interview that. I for one don't mind about them taking their time a bit. When we lost Hurst last time I recall in his final game when, officially anyway, nothing had been decided either way we lost (or drew maybe, we didn't win). Immediately people were panicking saying we need to get the decision made asap one way or there other etc. Well husrt went and the manager that quickly followed (Bignot) was inferior. I would rather we had negotiated longer with Hurst to keep him (if that was still feasible which it probably wasn't) or taken longer to make the appointment to try and make a better job of it.

The main point I am making is that the period between managers is usually brief compared to the period with the following manager, so if it takes a week or two extra to do all the due diligence to try and get a better appointment I am fine with that, as that's more important. Of course nothing is guaranteed but it's best not to rush into an appointment just because of one lost opportunity for 3 points, the calibre of the leader in charge for the next 18 months or so, or whatever the average is, carries more weight than that.

Everyone seems happy with this interview however it blows out the water 1878 are a step up from Fenty in having a plan when they pull the trigger. I honestly thought these guys would have there target primed and ready but nit looking that way? I  hope they get this right because dragging it out for weeks if results don't improve will see us right in the pit of misery.dilly dilly

AGREED. SLEEPY JO appointing a manager for years to fit a plan (collective) what the hell does that mean  . What plan. 6 weeks from the chop according to the previous update from Sleepy JO. Or even one game away if you accept a win kept Dep Doig and Hurst in post.


Blow smoke up the fans proverbial by all means, but the paint will soon wear off with this nonsense.

Very astute - we are very fortunate to have him

For me Iam glad Neil Woods and Dave Moore work at the club in a sporting capacity as well. Good  men who I have  liked for a long time.

Maybe Jo Biden (sleepy jo) is bored of running USA and is trying something more interesting.

I live in hope that one day I might see a half intelligent post from this person, however my advanced years may not allow that to happen.

Quoted from aussiej

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....

Another interview where nothing much is said other than jargon. We're not going down the director of football route, yet. They have well defined criteria for what they're looking for in the next manager, but not a hint of what the criteria are.

They've clearly held discussions about the situation for a while, and came to the strange decision that if we didn't beat Doncaster they'd sack the manager there and then, but haven't put any thought into what comes next.

Yet most people are still crediting them as oracles that have planned and strategised every small detail of everything. It's absolutely no different to what we've been doing my entire life except we're now spending loads of money to be excrement.

The hint that they'd appoint Davies and Pearson in a relegation fight scares me that they've not learnt how big a mistake that will be from Fenty's era.
