Does it suprise you though, because it doesnt me. Everything is always a slow and drawn out affair with us, whether it be the kit, or transfer of players.
If the board do what they should do, and sack GED and co, that gives them a bit of time to get a new manager in, and the new manager will then get some money, and a full summer to spend it, and an entire pre-season with the players.
Sometimes it leads me to question whether the board know what they're doing, we've not got many football people at the club, and you've got someone like Paul Faulkner, how is he qualified to have a say in who our next manager is.
Anyway, the board need to be decisive, and move quick. Go and get Moyes!
