I understand that Burke is (one of) the stumbling blocks for Kev the Rev. He isn't for me. He -- or his role -- might be for some of the candidates; if so, they won't bite, and someone else will.
I'd imagine that the primary impediment at present are vacancies elsewhere (Southampton, West Brom primarily). We might have to wait until those posts are filled. When they are, I'd be surprised if we're waiting much longer. There's also every chance that we might have a manager before that.
Agreed. Saints, West Brom , Celtic and now Leeds jobs all being vacant, clouds the issue somewhat.
