Manager for next season

[Leicester_Villian]

Does this mean Eric Black remains manager for next 3 years? Football Conference here we come .......

[Jon Crofts]

In the latest missive from the club Steve Hollis says "The appointment of the manager is at this time inextricably linked to the current negotiations", so looks like we won't get a new manager before any sale goes through.

Or until it becomes clear that it is not going to happen within a satisfactory time frame.

He also said 'He will want a certain type of pre-season and certain types of games, he will want to go to a certain place he is comfortable with'

So that suggests a manager is agreed upon whoever buys us.

Interesting comments re pre-season and the place.

I have been quite relaxed about the whole new manager thing, in the hope, rather than expectation that the club are taking their time to identify and get the right man (whoever that is).

However, I am now seriously starting to think this is drifting on too long for it to be healthy for the club.

It could be that Pearson ( or whoever ) and the Club are  waiting until the final whistle of this season blows, before confirming the appointment ..... quoting Gregg Evans in the Mail " I can understand that managers won't want to be associated with a relegated team ".................Godzvilla!

lets be realistic

we are in a terrible state so what manager is going to come here before a takeover is done knowing that the new owner could say well i know that randolph said he would give you x amount but ive decided its going to y

if a manager is appointed as soon the season ends then there is no imminent takeover

It almost sounds as if you want to be right.

I can't see a new manager agreeing to take the job before a new owner is confirmed.  Any manager worth his salt would want to do his own "due diligence " on the owner.  He would want to interview them to see what parameters they expect him to work within, and get a sense of whether he could work with them.

i dont at all, i want us to be where we belong, in the top 6 and winning cups and playing in europe

i just find it impossible to believe that a decet manager is in place purely because come the end of the season there will be other options

and with the takeover what if the new owner wants his own choice in and dont say perspective ownerr will have an influence on who the new manager is because they wont. the clue is in the perspective bit

[wittonwarrior]

I just hope that something is going on behind the scenes.  I don't want Pearson but the issue appears to be other candidates are wedging their bets for a more successful side to come  in  for them cue the likes of  Moyes who I think may now be off our radar.

I've read that several times and I still don't understand the point your making. Are you saying we should have a manager now or wait until we have an owner?

Randy Lerner was the prospective owner when Martin O'Neill agreed to become our manager based on the fact that our prospective owner was Randy Lerner.

You invented a great new word there WW.  "Wedging" your bets.  Bets that are hedged with large sums of cash.  I shall use it, with your permission of course, on the racecourses of the land.

[mr underhill]

I don't care now who it is as long as Eric Black fucks off big time.

[Nastylee]

Do you not think Black has done enough to be in the frame?

[KevinGage]

Eric Cack should be banished from football for the good of the game.

[Steve67]

Surely any buyer who shows the sort of 'get this club back to European glory'  type ambition would want a better manager than Pearson? We will know soon enough I guess.

[curiousorange]

I saw a tweet that Talksport claimed Pearson would be announced as boss after the game today? Did anyone hear this claim?
