In my view, the most important person at a football club, on the playing side, is without doubt the Manager / Head Coach.
But for reasons known only unto themselves, our board appear to be in a state of paralysis on making an appointment or confirming the unfortunate Shan in post until the end of the season. The board are incapable of communicating with the fanbase, which is also baffling, as if they got us onside, I’m sure we would back them come hell or high water, even if it wasn’t the most popular appointment, to be included and have a sense of belonging would buy a hell of a lot of goodwill for them.
My choice is obvious, Jokanovic, but I would be open minded, at the other end of the footballing philosophy style continuum, to welcoming Big Sam, if appointed. Right now we just need a leader and motivator ASAP.
I think ever possible scenario, regarding obstacles to appointing a Head Coach has been raised, discussed and answered on this thread by other members, but our board who are paid considerable amounts of money for decision making have been found wanting.
It is so frustrating, my plea to the board would be, please, acknowledge the fanbase, we don’t necessarily want specifics, as we understand that may compromise commercial sensitivity, just give us an indication of your vision and the direction you are taking us, simples!
But an old adage comes to mind “He who hesitates is lost†boy do we need a search party right now and badly
