Liam Rosenior

Seems odd we would pressure him to make a decision if he was our preferred candidate, only to move further down the list to a manager who we would need to pay compensation for and probably spend time agreeing how much.

Especially considering he doesn’t seem to be the first manager to turn us down

Lets be right , at this point in time we're way past any who where actually on our original list of ' wants' so we're just going through the process of getting someone credible as quick as possible now .
The owners cred wouldnt stand up to the fans seeing us passed over again by the likes of Rosenior so they ditched him and are now more likely to pay to resolve it with someone ( anyone) that wont cause a riot.

It might have been the club’s response too if he requested more time (not telling him to fuck off mind).

We just don’t know.

It should have been the Clubs response first instance and looks like it was. Anyone asking for more time is a waster as we know. We've been down that road hundreds of times before with other applicants
 
cesm and speaks have shown themselves to be incapable of running a club as big as Safc. The insistence on dodds and proctor being kept on by any new manager is embarrassing. Just go for fuck sake, the both of ya

I'm really struggling over the KLD "Imminent" statement last week. Surely he is not stupid enough to release such a statement unless its 99.9% done. He surely would not have released that and only then invited Rosenior in for a second interview. It just makes no sense. There has to be someone else in the frame that the press haven't picked up on. It would be a PR disaster to make a "learned from mistakes of the past" comment and then appoint another duff manager.

I suspect a lot of what we are being fed is agents wanting to hock their assets in the press, using us as leverage for speeding up an appointment or negotiating a fatter offer.

I suspect KLD could be as thick as mince, but surely his advisers would not be.

Its just bloody bizarre.

I didn’t get the fact he used that term. Boxed himself into a corner and couldve worded it differently. I did read a report in the French press the same day saying the appointment of Still at Lens was imminent…. Made me think maybe a panic statement to head that off and used the same wording…. It’s all so disappointing and frustrating

I hope the panic that he must be feeling makes him spend some money. It's the only hope I have left. Sheer panic and spend a lot more money than originally planned. But let's be honest It's a total shambles. From sacking Mowbray, appointing a nobody and then sacking him and appointing literally nobody.

I prefer to reserve judgement until after they make an(y) appointment. That said, it seems to me they are currently demonstrating all the prerequisite qualities that lead to glittering careers in British politics.

At some point, cock up just becomes the most likely explanation.

The problem is we've become a managers graveyard. Being a big club isn't enough anymore to attract them. Managers want stability and control of football matters and we are clearly not offering that...
