Next signing in 24 hours-David Sullivan.
|
|
Normally the end of the season offers a few days to relax and recharge the batteries before thoughts turn to the following campaign.
This year, however, things couldn't be more different. Our decision to part ways with Sam has meant that we now have the huge, but incredibly exciting, challenge of appointing a new man to take us into the final season at the Boleyn Ground and into the new Stadium.
I should add here that our parting with Sam was one of the most amicable I've had in football. I had a good chat with him on the phone last Saturday and we thanked each other for the work we've done together and the progress we've seen at the Club over the past four years. I am sure it won't be too long before we see Sam back in the Premier League and we wish him all the best, except when he's facing West Ham of course!
So back to looking at the future, I am dedicating every waking minute to recruiting the best available manager to drive our Club forwards. It is a constantly changing landscape but we are being absolutely thorough in our search, by speaking to representatives of a number of managers and doing our own due diligence on each one.
Given that, I am not expecting us to make an appointment for at least a week as we must do everything we can to get this appointment right.
What is clear from our discussions so far is that this job is attracting names it wouldn't have done five years ago. When you combine our move to one of the best stadiums in Europe in 16 months' time with the Board's ambitious vision and significant transfer budget you have an extremely exciting prospect for the right man.
In addition, I continue to work with our player recruitment team to identify players to improve the squad. We hope to announce our first signing in the next 24 hours and follow that up with a big name in the next two-three weeks. We will bring you any news of new signings on whufc.com first so please do keep checking back here to find out first.
So in summary, I want to appoint a manager you all feel excited by and one that will honour the Club's traditions and history. With your support, an ambitious managerand the Board's drive and commitment I can see the next few years being game-changing for our Club.
Thank you for your continued support.
Come on you Irons!
David Sullivan

Making a signing before a new manager is in place?
That means one of two things- they either know who their man is, and the other doesn't bear thinking about...

Someone just ask Jack why they aren't waiting to find out if the new manager wants him.
He responded 'see who it is and you'll understand'
That to me means either a nobody squad player like a back up keep.
Song or Jenko
Or someone that everyone would want - a Tevez type signing.
Backup keeper it is then

Best case scenario is probably that it's Jenkinson. I don't think anyone here or any new manager would grumble about that. I'd have assumed it's be a contract extension or something like that for an existing player.

I fucking love David Sullivan, best owner we have ever had.
There is NO reason he deserves a cunting, he has got things wrong and will do again but no one can argue his love for the club.
Have faith, he deserves our trust and support.

Dont agree with Chairmen buying players.
Managers should say who they want then the Chairman goes out to try and get them.
