When does acceptable become unacceptable?

[Brin]

In your opinion what is the maximum amount of time it should take to find a new manager?

I would say as long as it takes if you want to get an appointment right, when you've been let down by a potential new Manager, who strings you along a whole two weeks then gives back word on the 11th hour.

Not to worry though, our fans can whip up a storm and blame Tony for all of the delay etc in signing a new Manager. Shame they can't divert their displeasure at the clown who strung our club along and made Tony look a fool.

As we still haven't announced who's coming in yet, the natives get more restless and now raise posts like these asking what I think is a pointless exercise.

When things go badly wrong you thought you had professionally sealed, then yes it looks as though you're either (a) unprofessional, (b) don't really care about the fans or what they might think (c) have total disregard for the fans and bugger off on anther holiday and leave it for others to sort. Personally, I don't think Tony Stewart is either one of the three examples.

Brin, managers giving backword is nothing new. Yet because we are reactive and run our club like a WMC we have been caught out.

This has been a shambles. No matter what spin you put on it.

Club secrets are spilling out all over the place and people are talking out of school.

Of course people exaggerate but if you think there isn't a problem at out club, you are deluded

ibs, so X dangles Tony for a fortnight then says no thanks. How is that from Tony's stance running his business like a MWC?

He has had to now start the process all over again that's taken another week of interviews with other potential Managers. Eventually, he has come to the point where he and the board have got their man so to speak. Can't see nothing wrong with that at all pal. It has been a process that merely takes time because of time wasters and patience is called for.
