striker Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Good news, at last! Disappointed not in until 1st February, but the 'personal commitment' must be important and sure he'll be involved behind the scenes. Pleased Bullen is retained, always conducted himself well and after the last few games proved he has something to offer as a coach. Shrewd move to retain someone in the coaching set up who is obviously respected by the players and knows them inside out...a good conduit between the players and new coaching team.

Not sure I would have waited until 1st February but will wait and see what happens. In a way its refreshing that we are looking to the long term for a change. DC could easily have panicked and gone for a chancer like Jos who has been unemployed for 18 months and can start right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 1 minute ago, RUMBELOWS91 said: I think it may be more personal reasons - possibly promised his family he'd take a decent break after Villa, and maybe wants to get settled with a property in the area rather than commuting or living out of a hotel room. No chance. The bloke is on £2m s year. You don’t get a month to trail round estate agents and meeting the locals on money like that. My money is on us having to pay Villa compensation if he signs for another club before a certain date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Proper manager at this level can only be a good thing I think the fact that we are willing to wait too means we’ve got our man and number one target there must have been lengthy conversations about the future for both parties for us to be paying ( allegedly) him the money, backing him and wIting for him I think if anything we will get a better structure to our first team more stability and a better understanding for the chairman on first team matters we’ll done chansiri,great appointment what happens if we win all our games before he arrives......Bruce out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castleford Owl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Happy with this. No doubt he will be running the show before 1st Feb, just not officially. Considering our recent upturn in form, it's likely to continue with everyone wanting to impress from a clean slate. Top 10 is definitely achievable.

sMacLean Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Best of the possible options. He won't have joined a side to enjoy a few years of being mid-table or relegation fodder so must have good assurances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The options - proven managers - were quite few at the moment. I like that he has a lot of connections and now probably has the chance to strengthen the team his way. It's going to be a very interesting second half of the season. All in all, in our situation, a safe and sure choice is much better than a big risk unknown signing.

Harrysgame Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Good news this and don't mind the 1st Feb. Agree think it must be a contractual thing, compromise agreement etc. Last thing we need is having lawyers distracting things. As pointed out coaches will be doing their stuff on a day to day basis and sure he will be running the show in the background. From doom and gloom 3 weeks ago to a Happy place. Funny old game!
