Very conveniently?
Why not rush out and sign up Megson straight away?
They are just sitting around doing nothing waiting for the window to close.........right lets find a manager!
Megson seems a bit of an extreme example. I am sure the board could have taken 20 seconds finding Mons replacement and came up with a better manager than Megson.
As it is they have had 16 days and counting. If it was my job to find a new manager, for one of the biggest names in British football who had re-established themselves as a top 6 club, if you gave me 16 days to find a manager I'm confident I could have a very good one in place by now.
It will certainly be interesting to see if all the waiting has been worthwhile and if that waiting is justified when the new manager is eventually appointed.
I love how when MON was signing players he needed all the time in the world to research and decide which would be best for the club.
Now with a manager and a board to attack its suddenly pretty easy to find a manager in no time at all.
Does the similar if not same research and consideration apply for a managers appointment?
I'm sorry if I've misread, but it's not suddenly pretty easy to find a manager in no time at all. We simply don't have one yet after 16 days.
If this would have happened 1-2 months ago I think it would have been "A LOT" easier than it is now as some managers i.e Mark Hughes wasn't in a job or it would have been easier to tempt one of the other managers away from the clubs they're in.
2 weeks into the season managers don't want to leave the clubs they're in, in limbo.
