Or maybe a million other things....like the person they want is employed, on a notice period with significant compensation, wants time to consider his options, talk to family about moving area, wants a PL move, doesn't like red and white shirts....
A long way down the line.....how long is that exactly? How long do you give a manager to get a team playing their way, and i'm talking about all clubs, not just us.
Maybe they could have thought about it earlier, but you can't expect that any business can sack such an important part of it and replace it immediately unless they're lucky enough that the ideal replacement is sat on his/her arse doing nothing.
They need to get it right, that's far more important than having the wrong person just for the international break.
Even if they were, who's to say that their first choice is available or interested or both?
Would you rather they try and get it right this time, or appoint someone immediately to quieten down and appease the saintsweb community?
Some might say dithering, others might say trying to get this one right (a first) and not rushing into anything.
Personally i'd rather they take their time and get it right than get in another flop to appease the fans.
We can light up the ground on Saturday with some "Ori...Oriol....Ori....Oriol...Ori...Oriol...Oriol Romeu". Going to be a beautiful thing. Some massive thighs strolling around in a Saints shirt once more.
Never a dull day as a Saints fan. It’s been worse, it’ll get better. I’d say the definition of destroying is what Chansiri has done to Wednesday. We’re a million miles off that. Yes it’s shit, but it’s really not that shit. In my opinion.
