Why is this taking so long??

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

I don’t understand the way the manager situation is being dragged out unnecessarily.
By the time we get someone in maybe Embleton will want to stay on.
For Christ’s sake Orient, get on with it

[MrB]

I hear you bro

[Bergen]

It took 14 days to appoint a new head coach in 2017.

No need to hurry. More important to get it right.

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

It's not taking so long.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

OMG, it’s been 9 days!

[Byways1]

OMG, it’s been 9 days!

Well we appointed an interim manager nearly 4 months ago while we looked around for a permanent manager.
Absolute joke.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

I think it's great and hopefully takes longer than Brexit.

[Lovejoy]

Nah, nothing will take longer than Brexit.

[Mikero]

The previous regime managed to produce new managers at an alarming rate and look where that got us.

Tents are already being booked for "tenth aniversary of the talks" parties.

That has already been debunked elsewhere. Saying it in other threads doesn't change that.

Only because they were all crap.
One of them might be coming back............

[Mikero]

I thought that crap normally stuck rather than rebounded

Won't take long now Ian Hendons left Ebsfleet ☹

Well said

[redintheface]

Agreed. Ling clearly indicated that the process would not be rushed. I would guess that things will be concluded prior to the Walsall home game on 12th October.

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

OMG, it’s been 9 days!

It's quite literally the end of the world! Panic!

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Dunno what the hurry is.TIA.

This. He’s had 4 months to research and draw up his dream shortlist. What has he been doing?

[North Stand Dave]

But they've only been looking for the last week & a half not 4 months as they didn't know the Ross thing wasn't going to work out?
Like any job the interview process takes awhile so they get the right person in.
Unless like you Byways who who work in Macdonalds.

Do you seriously believe all that?

By the way, they had a good idea Ross was not going to work out by giving him the interim title.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Do people honestly think that the club only started thinking about a replacement last Monday?

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

Yeah, bit naive to suggest that. But clearly availability changes over time and now there is a vacancy the club want to follow a process to ensure we get the best man.

Nathan Jones seems as good as gone at Stoke. I'd wait for them to pull the trigger and then at least have a chat with him.

[North Stand Dave]

Good point Byways. But let's just hope Ling appoints the right man, we should have faith as he did get Justin.
