When Mellon came in, Courts was always the long term plan as the replacement manager (hence all the rumours since MM left), but was never the plan for it to be this early. Will be another manager in and when/if that manager leaves in 2-3 years then Courts will take over.
Also to add, there is no 'outstanding' candidate, its quite open at the moment. Wouldn't surprise me if there is a surprise appointment (I don't mean inexperienced like Courts, I mean a guy that hasn't been talked about much, or at all)
That's what I said. Didn't realise I made any predictions. Only thing I said was a week ago there was no 'outstanding' candidate. The fact (lol) we haven't appointed anyone yet probably says that was/is the case
