Borodane 6,246 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 If you think our search for a manager is unimaginative and slow, here are the favourites for Swansea: Gus Poyet, John Eustace, Mickie Mellon, Cameron Toshack, Michael Appleton and Giggs' assistant Albert Stuivenberg.

If Gibson needs a new CFO for Baulkhal don't you think that he will consider a few candidates and turn down plenty of others? The only difference here is that it is of interest to a lot of fans, media and agents. It's a relatively public search. The fact that we are actually taking time and seemingly considering, and holding interviews, suggests that we are actually doing it the right way. Would you rather they only had one candidate and he was named the day after Pulis left? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I can see a Monday announcement. This is why Woodgate isn't nailed on we are taking every option under consideration it would seem. The fixtures are put 2 weeks today. I hope we play Leeds early on.

Would you rather they only had one candidate and he was named the day after Pulis left? My point was that, knowing for a long while that they would be in this situation, and that they had such a narrow window of time to recruit a whole new team, that actions would have taken place earlier. In normal business circumstances I would have expected agents and recruitment companies to have been sounded out, a short list to have been drawn up a long time ago, initial interviews held and negotiations at least near to completion. Where else in the business world would a sizeable proportion of a management structure that needing replacing be allowed to drag on like this,, especially bearing in mind the need for the new team to make multi million pound decisions on player movements. As for your point about a CFO, this is not one individual whose position can be carried by others on a temporary basis but a whole structure which is primary to the running of the club, whose new season is weeks away.
