URZZZZElm Park Kid It will have to be Hunt as no manager in their right mind is going to join a club in our situation.
You think?
Difficult to really “lose out” from a manager’s perspective. You can either do well, build a better reputation and move on (like Selles) or struggle but with the excuse of the current condition we’re in. Think it’s almost impossible to lose any credibility at the moment managing us - shot to nothing
Exactly, when in the history of football has it ever been difficult to find externals interested in being manager? Never.
People said this when we were last recruiting and we almost appointed Wilder and did appoint Selles, who after a sticky start has done very well.
Obviously we'll have an interim internal manager, and we certainly should have internal succession planning. But externals will be interested, and some of them will even be potentially good or competent.
It's also worth remembering that the club's table position and squad strength is far superior to anywhere its been for years, comparative to our division. Unlike almost every manager for a decade, Selles will leave the playing side in rude health.
And really, how much worse is the non-playing side right now? Dai's stopped refusing to sell players to find the club, he's stopped buying massively overpriced and over paid mediocrity for the playing side. We have a good coaching and scouting set up, and compared to when Selles joined we are actually still just about paying our bills.
