Don't forget that there is the added issue that we're not just employing one person here.
It's going to be at least two or three.

Excellent statement from TB, not bad news at all and I'm confident that the right decision will be made at the right time. Definitely not the time to rush, what could in all possibility be the most important mangerial appointment in our history.

It is, and I'm probably wrong. This situation does remind me of the Gannon / Ince situation last time round when all the buzz was around them and Slade ended up getting the job.
Time to ban all of those that have made attention seeking claims to "know stuff" then.

This is what I'm thinking too - what happens if Hull win at the weekend?
Last post from me until the announcement then.
I'm not reading this as a good sign re:Coppell, but agree with TLO that this is about the appointment of a team, not just one man, and that undoubtedly complicates things somewhat.

The way I read it, this is arguably Tony Bloom's most important football club decision (as opposed to stadium) he has had to make so far.
It's vital he gets it right.
To that end, he will speak to a number of candidates, and they will pitch their ideas, requirements and costs to the Chairman. There will evidently be more discussions and negotiations involving the club and prospective manager(s). There will also need to be discussions between the club and the people the manager wants to bring in.
Not sure if this procedure is correct, but I'd imagine TB will also run this stuff by the Board of Directors as well.
This sort of shit doesn't happen overnight.

Which sounds fair enough to me. Hopefully, If he decides to watch the match to help him decide, we will get a resounding victory!

It's not like the Gannon situation, thankfully. Back then, Dick showed his hand by announcing that Gannon was the preferred candidate.
Bloom is wisely saying nothing about any individual candidate.

oh please...this board's been full of "I've heard" or "I've got a source" or "I've just seen XXX".
None of us know anything and you're just speculating.

A lot of managers currently in-between jobs, I would guess.

Remember how long he took to agree to go to Reading? I imagine Coppell would want quite a few guarantees IF he is even interested in the job. I'd be surprised if he took less than a week to say yes assuming he's even in the frame..

Hmmm... if they both accept, there could still be an announcement before Saturday, I reckon.

Makes sense for him to nail down a definite answer from whoever he is after before spouting off. Once one manager turns a club down the whole thing loses momentum and other candidates lose interest and question why they weren't first choice. Bit like last time.
