The Official Next Manager Discussion Thread

Strictly, and historically, it's only the Welsh who are actually "British". That was the irony of my comment!

The Britons lived in what is now England and Wales the Picts lived in Scotland

Precisely. The Scots were an Irish tribe and the Angles and Saxons migrated from the continent, displacing the native British (Welsh). So, strictly and ethnically, it's not correct to call the English "British" - except politically.

Having said that, I'll be happy to see this particular Serbian appointed.

Day 45 without a manager... will a Christmas miracle be performed today

And Symons - allegedly!

He did say British. ...and not English....

Apart from Tigana, historically most of our best Managers have been English.

I am struggling to think of overseas Fulham managers other than Tigana and Jol.

McGath, Muelensteen...

[filham]

Oh dear, how could I possibly forget Magath, we certainly don't want another dose of that medicine.

So the state of play at the moment is that we are just waiting an agreement on compensation to Tel Aviv, all conditions with the new Head Coach having been settled.

Well surely such negotiations could be done and dusted in a few hours.

We are of course listening to media speculation and have no idea of the true situation.

[Ordar]

Surely managers should have a release clause amount in their contracts? If not that's just stupid

Not quite. Tel Aviv want a replacement in before Jokanovic leaves.

And the terms with the manager have been agreed for a few days now, so it is just the compensation question which is taking it's time.

[westcliff white]

compo and the fact Maccabi want a new guy before or as Jokanovc leaves. Compo at leastfor me if is basically agreed if Maccabi are saying that, so hopefully they find a new guy quicker than we did

So another 45 days.

[e4b]

If Rigg is helping them then God help us! Could be another 45 days

[nose]

where does anyone get all this detailed information...is it in the media or is it personal contacts or is it the whispering game?

Waiting to have someone in place before letting the first guy go. WHAT A GENIUS PLAN!!!

[westcliff white]

apparently its all down to Johann Cruyff as to why we wait he is insisting they find a replacement first

[Ordar]

Cannot blame them for that at all.

[PokerMatt]

I'm making a vow.

I promise not to get on the back of the new man until the end of next season at the earliest.

This isn't to say I don't think Kit should have gone (in fact he was given too long) but the end of next season is surely the next feasible time to consider his future if things aren't going well. He has a salvage job to do this season, then a full season to see what he can do. If I get impatient at some point early next season someone please slap me back to earth. We can't go through this again.
