Will we see a replacement for Purchase?
It's very strange timing! I think Brian Flynn is a great appoinment but why go to all the trouble of talking about a Plan B, which this clearly isn't otherwise it would have been announced immediately. There are two things I don't like about it. I dislike kneejerk reactions which this smacks of. If we had lost last Saturday would Brian still have got the job? Secondly, if the board is that confident about the appointment why not give him a proper contract and not just until the end of the season? It seems now that if we don't get promotion Flynny will go but could it also mean that someone else is being lined up for the end of the season come what may? Maybe Rob Jones? Either way it puts the new manager under massive pressure and it doesn't end all the speculation about who will be the next man in which can be unsettling for all concerned.
So , they've led him on, but little Mac Wilson never was in the running. This stinks! I hate this club!
I think Baz may be right. I think we had someone in mind who for whatever reason wasn't available. It could still be revisited in the summer. Better to wait and get the right man rather than to rush into an appointment, especially when the route we've chosen ensures continuity.
