It’s nonsense, what if the new manager/head coach doesn’t rate an expensive signing?
What if the player doesn’t fit his system?
Or what if we miss out on good players because they want to know who the manager/head coach is?
Can only hope TS has someone lined up and like Adkins they’ll be in place very soon. Jackson was rumoured to be going at the start of this month a while ago so no doubt TS has been thinking about his plans and hopefully having conversations.
Id have no issue with Appleton. Done okay with Lincoln and ground out some cracking results. Who knows what he would do with a bigger budget as it comes across that not much phases him. Warburton would be decent as that is a very experienced guy. The drop in form that QPR had though was extremely poor. Michael Beale would be interesting due to his pedigree as a coach. Les Reed was a good coach though......
Lee Johnson is a massive no. Just a little twat and generally unlikeable. Darren Ferguson is also a no.
Personally feel we need experience. Understand Adkins had that but was out the game too long.
Opposition fans said the same about bowyer, he got us promoted!!
Reading those quotes from TS, confirms my suspicions. The guy is a clown.
Not the 2 years of baseless waffle and bullshit he's churned out preceding this then. Deary me the circus continues.
All the best Johnny you're better off out of the perpetual clown show that is CAFC.
Making it up as we go along. Who is calling the shots and targeting players in the interim, Gallen and Sandgaard's son?
And how are we going to convince them to sign and what the vision is when there's no manager lined up yet by inference of that SLP article?
I'll eat my words if this turns out to be a good move with some rationale well executed strategy to follow but reading that article just feels more "hit n hope".
I think those comments are poorly expressed by Sandgaard but ultimately it boils down to the owner wanting to appoint a manager who plays a certain style. Long-term that's a good thing; lots of teams have a consistent playing philosophy and identify players and managers to suit it so that when one goes you don't have to tear everything up. We did look a bit silly buying players for Bowyer, to then appointing Adkins and playing a LB on the right wing to fit the 4231, to then buying him a load of wingers, to then sacking Adkins and shoving those wingers in at wing-back because Jackson wanted two strikers over everything else. I wish he'd pipe down a bit about the specifics as that's stretching a little further than I'd like to see in the immediate aftermath of a sacking, but we would definitely benefit from a consistent style going forward for both recruitment and manager hiring.
There are lot of sharp u-turns being done on Neil Harris, people were losing their nuts at the thought he would get the job, and I suspect a lot of the affection is built on him slagging his players off on the telly at the weekend.

He'd be a good fit for a number of reasons.
1. He's an affable person.
2. He's overcome adversity on a personal level.
3. He'd bring stability.
4. Recent jobs means he'd have contacts for potential signings from those clubs (Ben Thompson and Mahlon Romeo are two former players of ours that would be more than decent signings for you).
5. He knows how to put together both a challenging for the play-offs team and also a promotion winning one.
6. Whatever anyone thinks of his playing style, he gets the team/squad playing for each other and with tenacity and an actual shape.
7. Isn't afraid to blood youngsters if he thinks they're good enough.
The above are probably in a horrific order but I'm shooting from the hip here

I heard a flimsy whisper about Neil Harris as long ago as Wycombe away. Which I reported on here. Most people in response hated the notion. However for some of us the view we have of Harris goes back to a time before the weekend Gillingham rant. On a personal level I used to see him a lot at U23 games, and he never came over as objectionable, but that kind of view is not objective. The objective view would be to look at his managerial career.
This wiki article is something that might help get a view of his abilities.
The fact that the new manager won't choose their squad rules out a lot of more experienced names. You're either looking at someone experienced and desperate or someone relatively inexperienced from a League 2 or smaller League 1 club who is happy to make the step up within those parameters.
Concerning that no one is seemingly lined up. Makes a mockery of all whole planning for the summer. You cannot do that with no manager in charge its got disaster written all over it

FFS.
To be fair, I actually think Harris would have a shot of getting us up. But Beale would be the perfect long-term approach.
I've just checked how much a season ticket is for Nantwich Town.
Naan-twich Town... GETTIT!!
It's about £200 - but that gets a reserved seat in the main (ok, only) stand and free parking.
