I'd be surprised if most other clubs don't too. Edit.. Wilyfox beat me to it! Edited July 25, 2019 by spike1867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 25 minutes ago, Matt_1 said: This is tiresome now. It's sapped the excitement out of what would have been a good pre-season. Strudwick, Nice kits, positivite training camps, Rhodes scoring goals. This whole manager situation and the lack of info from the club regarding the embargo has drained my enthusiasm levels. Chin up fella, its just the Wednesday way. Looks like were trying to persuade Hughton, with Rowett back up. Not sure how long we give Hughton before it becomes embarrassingly desperate, but needs an appointment soon. I'd thought it would be done in time for the Espanyol game, but not looking likely. Seems it's going to be an out of work manager, not necessarily the best option and does restrict the talent pool, but it's DC's choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because Les Reed was the director of football and they have a full infrastructure in place. Call it a hunch, but I very much doubt that SWFC have anything like that.

The lack of info from the club regarding the soft embargo is more to do with how the EFL operate rather than us simply not saying anything. I don't think they can say anything....hence the information has all come from the media and not through official channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Haven’t articles mentioned that representatives have been meeting with candidates? Might have been in Biggsy’s article. No idea who that would be obviously but it’s pretty dramatic to think DC has just swanned off on holiday and sacked off finding a manager. It’s more concerning that we don’t have a known infrastructure. Starting to think it’s going to be Hughton and DC is waiting on that. If not then it will be Rowett who is also waiting on Hughton.

Big Jack Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 At least give Bullen some autonomy so some decisions can be made in the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chansiri is just trying to get the right man and is taking his time. After all the Bruce saga i think he is not letting anything slip. Maybe he'll pull off a big coup. I think if Hughton will not come then he might sit tight with Bullen and wait. He’ll have learned that the championship is unpredictable. To make a push with the right man at the helm post Christmas is not that far fetched anymore. Look what we did last season alone. I don’t think Bullen is a long term answer but he could keep it together until an appointment is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
