Wholeheartedly agree.

We've had since February to resolve the manager issue.

The club have only recent confirmed they now have their four man shortlist.

WTF have they been doing for the last three months?
at a guess they were rebuffed by their original targets as they couldn’t get guarantees and didn’t know which league we’d be in. So they’ve built the shortlist getting in contact with managers while giving Shan the role and now we are in the Championship are following up said shortlist to see if they are still interested and check any new options that are available.

But I’m just guessing.

Im still sure it will be someone thats out of work, as we just don't do compensation. They will need to be cheap, and have low expectations, as this board have proved time and again they they don't posses any clear vision. It's all about cost cutting. They haven't learnt that going down this route will always end in disaster. We keep repeating the same mistakes, expecting a different outcome. The board need to remove their blinkers and actually take the best man available, regardless of any compensation or not. But I fear it will be yet another 'Yes' man that the board can control, thats also happy to work with peanuts.

The 2 best men linked and available will not cost a penny in compensation.

they will however cost the most in wages and therefore over the course of the contracts could end up costing the club more

Back room staff gone already. If there is not someone lined up to start Monday morning this is even more of a terrible decision then it looks.

9th March this was posted, what an absolute disgrace.

One for stato's who is the longest serving caretaker manager in English football?

Labbadia is in China today.
Maybe a talk with the chairman after that?

I thought I read he was interested in working in China as well as England, so he could be killing two birds with one stone, metaphorically speaking od course.

Apparently, he turned down 2 offers from Chinese clubs. Interesting angle from one of the German quotes that they were linking the fact that we happen to have a Chinese owner. Probably just a coincidence though. He's due back in Germany this weekend and apparently open to talking to his old club Hamburger SV. But they are in a worse mess than we are. However his family are settled in Hamburg which may be a factor.

I think the Albion may go for the Cowleys if it's a buy one get one free offer.

Call me cynical but i think he is holding out to get the best offer from Hamburger. He may talk to us to stoke up the ante, but i think that's as far as it will go.

You may be right. But he did say some time back he preferred to work abroad. Hamburger SV is an extremly difficult club to manage. They were expected to get promoted back to the Bundesliga this season but just missed out and now they are onto their 6th manager in 3 seasons. (quite a few parallels with us there  :)) He also said he didn't like the hassle for his family when he managed in Hamburg before.

If we are serious about Bruno all we have to do is make him the best offer.
It's money that focus's minds in this industry.
If we're not serious about offering him what he wants then move on to a cheaper option.
We know that's what will happen anyway so why pussy foot about.
With other clubs chasing managers we need to get a move on

With no football till July pre season I expect Albion to drag out as it will save a few weeks manager wages
Whenever we are playing badly, just remember -
Paul Chrichton,Neil Parsley, Andy Mcdermott, Scott Darton, Winston White,Mark Angel, Fabian DeFreitas, Paul Williams......now, do you feel better?

Probably some truth in that - especially as I assume we are still paying Pulis and Big Dave.

The longer it goes on the shorter the time the new bloke, assuming he is actually new, will have to organise the team for the coming season.
We are always the last out of the traps,whether it's buying players or getting a new manager.

I'd be surprised to see much spent on the squad but whoever comes in will need to be able to assess the players available. If there is scope to bring a few players in from the lower leagues or maybe a loan or two this takes us so long!

Dowling has given us the timeline, you're looking at, at least another 2 weeks before any decision is made.

Mickey Mellon has just gained a second promotion with Tranmere. What are the odds on his phone ringing on Monday morning?  :-[
