Bet that was always the plan. The chairman just done it to “be the first” and for the publicity. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all it ever was and anyone who thinks it was any different is a little deluded IMO. why would you appoint a caretaker for 10 days of training within preseason...a big PR stunt that got the nation talking about FGR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you’re right, it’s something every club does….never. how many times did you hear about the “caretaker appointment” at hillsborough, Leeds or Barnsley?? The answer is you didn’t because no one was interested in anything other than appointing a permanent manager. The FGR used Dingley as a PR stunt..which isn’t right in itself imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Malc Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Someone always takes charge while a new manager search goes on, they don’t just tell players to stop at home while pre-season starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't usually announce a caretaker manager when you've not got any games. Who was our caretaker manager? Steve Haslam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I think its a bit of both - getting some publicity while also having someone hold the fort while they appointed a new manager The guy they have appointed is a fantastic and innovative coach Interesting to see how he gets on as a manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
