Could delay in manager be because club is being sold???

Sat May 17, 2025 6:59 am

We knew two months ago that we would be without a manager and at such an important part of the new season.

Most clubs would have done something about it and done it quickly - not us. We have to fanny around interview people and not be decisive in picking the one person who stands out. Karl Robinson and Nathan Jones being two.

The only thing I can think of, for such neglect, is that the club might be sold soon and new owners might want their own manager - but that is only speculation on my part.

The meeting with Mehmet soon might just be a catch up between two mates. I got I wrong. I hope that their is a sale in the offing.

But that is the only reason I can think of for a manager not being announced

Another is the club being sold thread.
Absolutely you evidence to support this, did you really expect a quick decision with the this lot in charge?
We always drag our feet and we won’t selling the club now.
Yes there are 2 standouts but maybe they don’t want to come to us it really isn’t as simple as us fans think it is I imagine.

What happening is pretty much what I and I would have thought 95% of fans would have expected our process to take so long. I really wouldn’t read to much into it. Especially when the consensus is tan won’t sell till after the sala case anyway.

It would be nice to think that this was happening but unfortunately it's probably down to infighting, i'm guessing Dalman wants to bring in someone with a track record and Tan the football genius is wanting the cheapest option available on a years contract.

It would be nice to think so Paul but, with these 3 I just don't know what to think I am sick of Tan and his antics.

This reasoning as been said previously about why delay in appointment! But you simply can't buy club of the shelf? It takes many months if not a year or more even then sale doesn't always happen as we've seen on many occasions.

Oh Paul. Where’s you sense of whipping up some close season hysteria, coming out with sensible statements like that. lol.

No.

That’s adding two and two up and getting five.

Based on what has been said, the court case regarding Sala, etc there is no chance.
