Except they always said Shan was an interim manager... so we've been looking for a new manager since the 9th March (89 days ago). OK, we may have known what division we'd be in, but prepare properly and have 2 lists ready to go. There is nothing that illustrates the kind of manager they are looking for, or what criteria they are applying. It's totally scattergun. We have failed to prepare.

Bang on the money. Hughton plays Pulisball, Labbadia and Bilic are both more free flowing every day a new name is added. Why bother wasting time and resources on Wilder when he was a boyhood blade and completed the double promotion. Yeah they have a court case but thats been going years longer than when Wilder took the job. 90 days this has gone on. 24 odd days more than that is left in the window. A window, that basically we need to rebuild the squad. That's what I find disturbing If they can't choose the basic foundation after 3 months are suddenly going to do that in a sht and a rush No club is too big to fail. Both Sheffield clubs leeds and sunderland have all done it. The board are our custodians I can't say i trust them. Still waiting to interview Flores and bowyer after them i wonder what other names they'll pull from their collective rectums

Can we please ban the word Irvine from this thread, I've only just stopped my treatment.

I might be on my own but I would rather we appoint the correct manager and not the quick one that appeases people.

Definitely not on your own, however i think there's a big difference here between a quick appointment and one where we appear to be taking too long.

You've been a supporter long enough now you should know it's a very slim chance of it being quick or correct!

Fantastic. With the C's done i will be interested to see what Iain Dowie has got to say for himself over the weekend then.

Dowie has to wait his turn. Billy Davies is before him.

Lets be thankful that Zinedine Zidane has just returned to Madrid.

Failure to prepare = prepare to fail !!

As long as Terry Connor gets his interview I'll be happy, ex dingle association aside.

The Perce has spoken! Whoever said Bilic was at the training ground yesterday was correct.

Got a feeling it will be put to bed today, pointless having a third round of talks, no one ever has a third interview do they!?!

Sounds promising. Hopefully, he'll be given funds to recruit young attack-minded midfielders with fire in their bellies....what we've been lacking for three years or more IMO.

Im guessing all that can happen now is the goal posts are moved last minute on contract details and deal collapses OR we finally actually get a new gaffer!

Happy with Bilic. A big name who can attract decent players. How much for Modric ?.

Albionic · « **Reply #3271 on:** June 07, 2019, 10:43:07 AM »

Have to say that i would be chuffed with this, I was advocating Bilic when we made the Pardew error.

West brom and "characters" go hand in hand IMO.
Willie / Scharner / Big ron .......

Naa, I don't believe it and I fully expect Appleton to get the gig as the boards number 1 and unanimous choice after an extensive search.

17GD · « **Reply #3274 on:** June 07, 2019, 12:07:28 PM »

I would be very happy if Bilic gets the job. After the media surrounding this I'll be very angry if almost anyone else the job suddenly.

As said, you can't have two rounds of talks with someone and then not sign them. The first round would have included discussions on style, funds, expectations and contract requirements. The second round would be similar but in more depth.

It all sounds very promising and if he gets the job we could attract some decent players. Fail to land him and I fear we'll be in a relegation scrap next season.
