Don't get me wrong this is not an anti MC rant.
BUT
What is going on with the managers (coach) position, you either shake his hand and bid him good luck elsewhere or back him up and let him get on with the job, all this supposed search for a new better coach but we will hold on to Evans just in case we get turned down by others - Difficult to see why nobody wants the job :- (

Fact is that Evans is under contract until end of June, MC is quite within his rights to keep him working even if he is looking at other options, what if Evans turned down a new contract. Makes sense to have a scout around before renewing, you would in any other business before renewing a contract so why not football.

True - but this is football and there is nothing to say Evans won't turn around on July 1st and say thanks but no thanks.

My point was that if we are looking for a new coach let's do it, at this point it's not clear what we want and that can't be a good thing for any prospective incoming coach or fair on Evans who under the circumstances has done a pretty good job. (Hardly gives room for confidence of what support you will get taking any new position)

We are basically peeing about and at this rate may not have it resolved before the Euros, leaving little time for whoever is in the hot seat - bad planning.

Could be worse teams like the Magpies and Villa are quick off the starting blocks and have "recognised" managers in place or very close to.

Maybe true Ox, but he should make his employee know that he's going to replace him instead of keeping him in the dark then publicly humiliating him.

Don't disagree Deda just saying exactly the same happens in business, just it is not public usually.

The point surely is that even if iSE is out of contract at the end of June then tell him his contract is not being renewed and then speak with other managers and if MC wants to ask him to carry on working until his contract ends then at least he knows where he stands so he can look for other work. It is the shocking way he treats decent employees that gives him and us the poor reputation we now have around the world.
