Subject: How confident are you?

If Silva leaves do we have new manager in place before World Cup starts!
I would imagine a shortlist has not even been drawn up by Ali Mac to present to the owner.
Fulham job just feels now as not so highly regarded unless it’s the mercenary type or recent failed managers who get linked at clubs of our size. Does the recruitment setup at Fulham put off the more accomplished manager?
You would think many walls have many ears especially in today’s game.
I always hoped he would stay but you have think it’s looking more unlikely with his recent barbed quotes about timescale of recruitment being mentioned on a few occasions which leads back to Tony & Ali Mac. My guess is the owner and the board are more content with mid table positions more than ever now they have that new toy being filled on home fixtures. We are not this time looking at a manager to get promoted it’s more along the lines of as you were don’t rock the boat let alone be ambitious. They will want someone in to keep this current squad ticking over with probably one or two additions on 1rst of September?
Why on earth would you want a Frank or Nuno to name just two both failed managers and damaged goods but every possibility they get interviewed if the club feel they can keep just ticking things over. Never thought I would say this but I would not be opposed to someone like Southgate coming in?

You do know that everything you've said comes straight from your imagination. Some or all of it could even be true but we and you don't know any of it. (NT) -- The Man With No Name, Monday, May 25, 06:32:20pm (host81-147-140-82.range81-147.btcentralplus.com/81.147.140.82)
My gut feeling is Marco will. Leave. Hope we have a new manager lined up. (NT) -- Depressed, Monday, May 25, 07:12:16pm (NoHost/95.145.251.178)

At work we had a rule of thumb - if a member of staff was restless, its best they go, as they've shown they are not commited. SK has had enough time to develop a plan, and he's wise enough to know it may be needed. He didn't make a bad choice last time, so here's hoping.

Many coaches' agents are bound to have approached the club in recent times, regarding one of the top (what?) 50 such jobs in the world at minimum. It's theoretically possible that the club has taken no interest in any of those approaches, but likelier, as the weeks went by with Marco stalling, that they have seriously considered and narrowed down prospects. We'll soon enough know. (NT) -- b+w g., Monday, May 25, 08:02:27pm (host86-190-202-225.range86-190.btcentralplus.com/86.190.202.225)

Unfortunately we are being held over a barrel. We've made it clear we want to keep Silva but he is still yet to accept or decline. Why would any other manager look at us and commit with other jobs out there when we have no job to offer. Silva must be given a deadline and he if doesn't commit we get rid. Letting us wait why silva is turned down for job after job is no good for us (NT) -- Me, Monday, May 25, 08:22:48pm (host-213-78-196-163.as13285.net/213.78.196.163)

Every time Shad appears to be specifically involved with managerial recruitment we get a decent manager. I can only think of 2 occasions where I vaguely recollect reading that he personally intervened in the recruitment process and that was with Slavisa & Marco. Hopefully his instincts will yield another successful appointment should Silva depart. (NT) -- Samuel, Monday, May 25, 08:29:20pm (NoHost/81.78.181.73)
- Definitely the case. Not to be imagined he came up with either name in the first place, but when provided with suggestions they were the ones he went with and pursued hard.. (NT) -- b+w g., Monday, May 25, 08:56:36pm (host86-190-202-225.range86-190.btcentralplus.com/86.190.202.225)

    - When a manager fails there's a reputational and maybe psychological hit. Most don't recapture their previous success. I hope we choose a young manager I've barely heard of who's had some success abroad.
