Quote from: John M on June 07, 2011, 10:53:58 AMOne thing about Jol going there is that I'm farely certain he would have preferred the Villa job. So, if we weren't interested then that should mean we've got better in mind. And given that JOL is quite a good manager, surely that means we have someone VERY good in mond?Does not necessarily mean better, that is subjective really based on who is doing the picking. Who they think is better may not be who you think is better.

Randy seems to me to dither in these times- he should have been here last week and already had a shortlist as houlliers departure was widely expected- the interviews should have been done and the new man getting on with sorting out his squad rather than randy just flying in today.We cannot afford this to be a long drawn out process or we will miss out on available transfer options.

And confuse us not knowing what's happening with Randy 'dithering'.
As someone mentioned on one of the 15 other new manager threads didn't Martin 'no facial expression' Jol lose out to Schteve in a title race in Holland? Seems a bit strange to be refusing to get a season ticket if he is appointed whilst saying Fulham have done really well to quickly appoint Jol when his record is hardly miles better IMHO. Not saying I'd rather Schteve than Jol, but I do think its more that his credibility was destroyed by the press rather than his ability as a football manager that has created such vehement opposition to him coming here.
