Maybe the club are just clarifying to avoid Lee being put in a difficult position on Radio Sheffield tonight? Maybe, could also have been done to give the lads a bit of clarification early in week so there settled for the Reading game regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Is there a reason many on here are wetting the bed at the thought of bullen getting the job? Hasn't he said previously he didn't want the job and he's had several stints as caretaker manager but chansiri has always brought someone in. I think Chansiri will try and go for a known name like Bruce again as things were starting to click 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would we bring somebody in days before the game, they cannot possibly influence tactics. What we have to do though, is make sure there is a prompt appointment after the Reading game, so that the new boss will have all week to work with Bullen and the players. Assuming he doesn’t only speak Portuguese Understand what you are saying here but why would we be in a position to make a prompt appointment after the Reading game if we haven't managed to finalise the right man in the previous 3 weeks? Should the above happen it is still disappointing that the new manager will come in with only a week at most to assess the squad before the next game and only a few days at most before the transfer window closes. DC's stance with Newcastle was spot on but I would have hope we would have the potential new manager at least at the game yesterday to get a more detailed view of what he will have to work with and what he needs.

Lee A Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Did a solid job whilst we were waiting for Bruce, the players know him and are clearly happy to play for him. Wouldn't want him to be appointed permanently, but have no concerns about him being in charge until we can get the right man in. Might be in danger of being too optimistic, but having him around gives us the option not to rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Can't believe people would rather a none descript foreigner over Bullen. Apart from Hughton, who I don't think is coming do any other the candidates stand out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpistol Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Even if we got a manager in later this week, it would only be right that Bullen pick the team and be in charge of tactics for the game against Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightace Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Surely one of the hundred managers they interviewed must be up to the job. I prefer the old way of a manager being in charge of who comes in. Love Bullen but he's no tactical genius and he won't be having a say on any transfers. Not ideal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Most important thing here is that the players are prepares and know what they're doing. To that end it makes perfect sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about rushing but we have had 3 weeks to consider this now and I would prefer if the new manager had a bit of time to assess his squad and decide if he wants to try and get anyone in or out given we have 10 days until the transfer window closes.
