When in reality, we weren’t at an advanced stage at all and I guess we will find out tomorrow if the aim to appoint someone during the INT break has been completed Yep, seemed to be a "cover our arses" statement to line up with what Warnock said Realistically any half decent manager is either a) in a job already or b) wouldn't want to take the gig as still a very real chance we could go down Would like to hope if we can get 4 points from next 3 games that will help to ease any relegation worries and we can look to get someone in by the end of the season. Knowing how this season and the FMB work that'll be unlikely Link to comment

Apparently a flat no was the response We'll have sacked him by then. 4 Link to comment
RUL Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 12 minutes ago, Willo flood said: It’s probably the only answer he’s going to come up with. If he was to saying anything else/something like ‘we will see what happens’ it’s pretty much confirming he’s got the job. Why would he say no ? He’d just say he’s not got anything to say on that. If it was him it would have been arranged. He’s said no because he’s no intention of being there Link to comment

I'm guessing it was O'Neill given we had already talked to him and some folk that know a thing or two fully expected him to be in sharpish but that never materialised, now we're scrambling about.

Currently he has no choice but to say he won't be in the dugout for the semi final as we've not asked permission to speak to him or anything. We've not even offered him the job. Nothing to see here. Are there ‘dugouts’ at Hampden? Link to comment

Willo flood Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 If O’Neil has turned us down. No matter what’s your thoughts on him are, it can’t be seen as a good thing that our new manager is going to be infact further down the list then he is/was. Starting to warm to the idea of just giving Leven the job until the end of the season, if the extent of managers turning us down is as large as people are making it out to be. Would much perfer that then just giving the job to someone like Lennon because no one else is interested at the moment. I guess we would just have to hope that managers will be more willing to join as at seasons end, assuming we are still in the League 2 Link to comment

The club wanted to appear to be in total control of the situation so went along with what Warnock said, when, in reality, they were anything but. Link to comment

Sheepskin_1903 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Leaving Leven in the position until summer isn’t an option unless we aren’t seriously wanting to be competitive for top 4 next season. The board wanted someone in so that the summer rebuild could be planned ahead of the season ending and the new gaffer could assess what he thinks we would need. It’s not good Link to comment

It’s probably best for them to come out tomorrow and say (if O’Neil doesn’t get appointed) then We haven’t been able to complete our aim of appointing a manager during the international break for reasons x, y and z. We will continue our search for a new manager with Peter Leven continuing to take the team until then. Putting timelines on these things probably justs adds unnecessary pressure. Can already envision us rushing into the appointment of Jack Ross after being 5 points afloat in 11th placed as a result of ‘giving Leven the job until the end of the season. 1 Link to comment
