Why not? They announced ETH before the end of last seasonDutch league doesn’t finish until the same day ours does. I can’t imagine anything is public before then (if that is indeed where we go - surely it is?)
Regardless, my gut feel is it’s disrespectful - let the team/fans celebrate their league win for the sake of two weeks. Let Mason have one less thing to deal with in his press conferences.Why not? They announced ETH before the end of last season
IIRC the news leaked and ETH wasn't too happy about it but they ended up announcing early as a result.Why not? They announced ETH before the end of last season
Haha he "fears it can be worse than the 2021 manager search" which was the most chaotic, embarrassing managerial search of all time and ended with an absolutely awful choice.New Ali G video sounds fun! I can’t copy and paste from Reddit so ill screen shot for those interested..
I 100% trust Levy.......... to fuck up !Haha he "fears it can be worse than the 2021 manager search" which was the most chaotic, embarrassing managerial search of all time and ended with an absolutely awful choice.
I'll be genuinely impressed if we manage to pull that off.
Did we have Paratici lined up by this time back then? Because it was his arrival that prolonged the search, or rather restarted the search for a new manager.Haha he "fears it can be worse than the 2021 manager search" which was the most chaotic, embarrassing managerial search of all time and ended with an absolutely awful choice.

Sign Nelson on a free for slot!Excellent read - well worth checking out if you want to know what he's all about.
Especially hearing how much the players like him and respond to him it's hard not to get excited about the guy:
Players seem to adore Slot.
Oussama Idrissi, who has been a key part of Slot’s teams at both AZ and Feyenoord, was asked recently by the Dutch newspaper AD where Slot ranks in the coaches he has played under. “For me, he’s the best,” said the Moroccan winger. “He can develop players and make teams play fun football.”
When it was pointed out that he has also played under Julen Lopetegui, Herve Renard and a guy called Erik ten Hag, Idrissi reiterated: “Slot was the best.”
You will not struggle to find other players with similarly effusive things to say about him. “He is one of the best managers I’ve ever seen,” said Alireza Jahanbakhsh, the Iranian forward currently playing under Slot at Feyenoord. “In football terms, even the best. At the moment, he is the best in the Netherlands.”
Reiss Nelson spent last season on loan at Feyenoord, becoming a regular in the second half of the campaign. “Arne Slot is a great manager,” he told the Colney Carpool podcast. “He really got me into my rhythm. He gave me a lot of opportunities to play and I excelled.”
Both potter and Rodgers have turned us down before and we are in an even worse state now then when they did that.I suppose the one positive thing about this manager search compared to the last one is the number of good candidates out there. We lost JN but there is Slot, if we can't get him there's still the likes of Potter and Rodgers available who would both at least give us a football identity.
Hard to argue with any of that tbh.New Ali G video sounds fun! I can’t copy and paste from Reddit so ill screen shot for those interested..

FWIW I like the sound of slot, and if we are to hire Spors too it sounds like we could begin to align the vision and play football the fans would get behind.
Getting our scouting and recruitment right is really the difference here when we are competing (realistically) with arsenal and Liverpool (possibly Newcastle) for players.
Fingers crossed these appointments become open secrets as soon as possible and it allows us to get moving on clearing out unwanted players and signing those in key areas.
I can’t see us getting top 4/5 for a very long time. Too many good teams further down their development than us as well as the usual big boys. Think we need to accept we are going to be mid table for a while.I would be happy with any of Slot, Amorim and De Zerbi.
However they’re only going to succeed if there’s buy in from the fans and from the board. There needs to be a significant clear out this summer and a successful transfer window in which our biggest issues are addressed, which is practically in every part of the pitch. We’ll likely have a transition season where we don’t get top 4 and have up and down results/performances but after watching awful football since 2019, I think most fans would take that if it resulted in say a 5th place, an ECL trophy if we’re lucky but most importantly some evidence of a shared vision on and off the pitch and some actual exciting football.
Why does this not suprise me, a clown show.Told just now we are still speaking to various candidates agents etc. We still don't know who we want is the truth of it.
Levy likes Slot others not so keen. Yes we are still doing this, with everyone and their dog having an opinion regardless of how much they understand about the game. It seems just when we are starting to come to a decision, someone else weighs in that really shouldn't have a say in the bloody matter.
i work in an industry that i was warned on Day 1 was famous for mismanagement...but crikey, it sounds like we're in a mismanagement league of our own at the moment!Told just now we are still speaking to various candidates agents etc. We still don't know who we want is the truth of it.

Wow, quite staggering (even for us) that this far on we are still canvassing.Told just now we are still speaking to various candidates agents etc. We still don't know who we want is the truth of it.
