The managerial shortlist

[man in the corner shop]

While it sounds like the club is not at fault in this instance it does raise the problem that whoever they appoint now is a firm second choice. Given it has already taken almost 3 weeks it's not a great look, beyond the clubs control or not.

Fair point Jacko

And I was told on here that the new owners are so on the ball and meticulous, they will have been prepared for every eventuality and there are lists and lists of potential replacements in every position, from head coach, players, down to kit man.

Doesn't look like great prep to me. Said prep would need to include " likelihood of getting a deal done" section

It's gonna be Colin at this rate
