Is that a fair assessment of the situation?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
So in a nutshell none of us really have any idea who our next manager is going to be...

I understand your point but we usually have SOME idea who the contenders for the post might be. This time nobody has the foggiest.

I have an idea of who it will be but others have their own ideas. So in an nutshell we are not short of ideas. Maybe rephrase the question?

Damn you BBBW : this means we will have to delete all these threads where no one has the faintest idea who the next manager is who going to be.

It does make you wonder that, as it's so quiet, whether it's someone currently with another club. Someone like Eddie Howe or the like

The great thing about the fact that no one has the faintest idea who the next manager is going to be, is that who the next manager is won't make very much difference.
Most of the difference between say, 16th and 5th in the table, is due to luck. Blind, random chance.
It's entertaining, but is it important? Probably not?

Got a substantive reply to the article linked? Or just a gut feeling?
(Points are based on the EPL's slightly shorter schedule.)
However, this still means that pretty much one third of a team’s win percentage is purely down to random chance.
Since we know the average win percentage is 45%, an average team can expect to achieve 51 points per season but this could potentially vary anywhere between 34 – 68 points due to luck.
Taking last season’s league table as an example, the average team could have ended up anywhere between 19th and 5th place just because of the random variance of their results.
