Maybe the reason we haven't appointed anyone yet is....

There's been a lot of shit posted on here over the past couple of weeks as to why we have not appointed a new manager yet.

Has anyone stopped to think the reason he hasn't been announced yet is because the poor sod is taking a break and is on holiday?

Could you imagine the up roar if we appointed a manager who then went straight on his summer holidays!

Personally I think we have a new manager and will announce him in due course when he is ready to take up the post full time.

I wouldn't have a problem with us announcing a manager who was already on holiday, or just about to go on holiday. He could still be consulted on anything he needed to be consulted on by mobile phone or whatever.

If we offer someone a job then they don't have the right to have a holiday. They should knuckle down immediately and get on with it.

Or the fact that we only interviewed last week and for senior roles there are A LOT of contractual issues to be resolved. The contracts need to be drawn up and there will be a bit of to-ing and fro-ing with agent/lawyers etc. Senior roles in most industries take weeks to finalise as you negotiate a package that suits and specific terms and conditions need to pass between both sets of lawyers.

I am sure that a manager is all but decided, but neither side will confirm until the contractuals are resolved. Given events 12m ago, I'm sure that the clubs lawyers are being a little more hard-working than most clubs would be over the fine details of the contract.

I find it staggering that people believe that a prospective manager would turn up for interview, agree to a multi-million pound, multi-year employment contract there and then and be in the press office holding up a Brighton shirt before teatime!

Why exactly?

This will not be the reason why we have not named a new boss, but why would they not be able to take a holiday? what do you expect them to be doing in that time?

If Oscar hadnt quit, what would be be doing right now?
