New Head Coach

Exactly, it's a chat forum not a public enquiry

 

Having caught up on today.
The one thing that stands out to me is how locked down tightly the club is regarding info.
To an extent that is a good thing. Let the club get on with its business.
However the last few years the clubs business has been accompanied by a running commentary of leaks.
The old saying stands true "Nature abhors a vacuum"
People will feel the need to fill it and often fill it with any snippets of info relevant, real or not
These get picked up on and interpreted in every possible way because there is nothing else.
Not sure what the club does about this but in a real information / social media age I think they could probably do better.
The silence is deafening.

 

Its difficult because websites like this one just consist of us all winding each other up to varying degrees about the club. That's still going to happen unless they tell us everything that's happening.

They could occasionally say things like
"We expect to have an appointment by this date"
"Interviews are ongoing"
Or similar
That might stop people inventing wild scenarios in their minds and then whipping everyone else into a frenzy with them.

 

I think this is exactly what it needs. We've not heard a jot since the season finished.

A small statement saying something like "We thank the fans for their support this season and their continued patience whilst the process to appoint a new manage continues.

We have identified a number of targets, and we hope to have concluded the process to appoint a new head coach in the coming days/weeks etc..."

Doesn't say a lot but at least says something and shows an acknowledgement from the club that the fans are getting understandably Restless.

 

You do realise some one will copy your post and repost it on twitter as an official club statement

 

I assume that's aimed at me.... All I am saying when 40.000 + fans start asking questions about the way the club is being run ...then yes it becomes uncomfortable...Just ask Donald and Methven. You cannot in all honesty be happy with the way things are... No recognised striker in 18. months and we have a revolving door policy with managers and now its been 3 months since we got rid of the last one. Not good enough for a club of our size. Nothing will convince me of anything else.

 

Fair enough fell m8, but I’ve read that he’s the target, maric or however u spell it, Rosenior and even some clown said Neil, none of us know, and I agree it’s reasonable for us to believe that any one of them is true, but is it reasonable to have a knee jerk if one of them doesn’t appear to be being pursued? I’m all for keeping abreast of potential movement at the club but don’t kick off when we, or at least I speak for me, hasn’t a scooby what’s real and what’s just speculation.

 

Hopefully they’ll correct the English though

 

I’m no expert and obviously their main business is football But think in this day and age maybe they could manipulate (probably the wrong word) the media and social networks to their advantage Wouldn’t make any difference to the out come of course
Just think they are getting slagged off by people for something that hasn’t actually happened

 

No to both.

 

I used those exact words...hence my question

 

You should of said that was a email sent to you by the club

 

Will Still isn’t being spoken about as the favourite to become our manager by absolutely everyone and his dog, plus being the bookies favourite by quite a way, because someone read something on this forum and spread it. There’s no smoke without fire.

 

I wouldnt say I'm a supporter that needs to hear statements or interviews from the club on a regular basis, but I am surprised there hasn't been any communication since the season ended. Speakman/KLD havent said a word since Beale left which surprises me after how the season ended up playing out. Even something like 'we expect to make an appointment prior to the beginning of preseason' which gives them a lot of leeway.

Tbf I quite like some of the wild scenarios we come out with on here haha. I dont really think today has been that 'negative' on here, everything is always speculation on here, the possible good news or possible bad news, just adds to decent debate. When Svensson was linked out of the blue a few (including me) were saying that it would be an exciting appointment and we may never have even spoke to the bloke. Fast forward to today, its been reported that Svensson has a new job, Rohl has signed a new deal, Maric is being promoted to Bayern assistant and Still isnt coming here, naturally you're going to get more posts of disappointment (such as mine) and none of these may have even been on the shortlist and we appointment someone better.

Not doubting people hear genuine stuff from within the club, I can remember things been posted on here that I hadnt heard about and then it came true a few days later. Also has went the other way where it didnt end up happening, doesnt bother me, I think it adds to the forum and the speculation/rumours makes for interesting reading.

 

You obviously haven’t been in a Ibiza night club

 

That wouldn’t stop them, believe me

 

No ones calling you anything mate. People and situations change.

Doesn't seem a reputable source

 

To be fair, some of the wild rumour and speculation is quite funny. I find the criticising the club on the flimsiest evidence a bit tedious though.
