I tjought we would have announced someone by now, the Euro draw is next week and the players are due back two weeks from now i think , so we need to get a manager in place asap.

The Euro draw is on Wednesday 17 June and the players return on Thursday 18 June.

Jens wasn't appointed til 12th June last year and he had a major rebuild on his hands. I'd rather we took our time and got it right..

I thought it would be done by now tbh given the club will knew they’d have to replace . 

Leads to me suspecting we’ve not secured our primary preferred candidate(s)

got to think something will happen this week .

meanwhile credit to the club for keeping it tight , they manage that side of things well .

We're pretty much on the same timeline as the last 2 appointments, and there's still plenty of time before pre-season. In theory, we could have started early because we knew JBA was leaving, but i believe it was similar with Wimmer.

Going off the same timescale as appointing both Wimmer and Jens we're looking at the end of this week for an announcement.

 

I think on both occasions securing a work permit took over a week so there's a chance we already have our guy we're just waiting on the paperwork being official.

The club manage to keep information in-house these days as opposed to the Burrows-era where everyone in Lanarkshire knew what the gossip at the club was.

 

Appointing a new manager, specifically a new manager who fits the club, isnt always straightforward

Likewise Allan. Especially so given that the directors knew about JBA's intention to leave weeks ago. However, sometimes paperwork and bureaucracy can draw matters out.
