Derby Canary 3 Posted June 8, 2016 I have, believe it or not tried to be patient this time with our board, reassured perhaps by their assertions (weeks ago) that it was imperative that a Chief Exec (the right one) be appointed as soon as possible to begin the planning process for this key time in our great Club''s history.We were told that they were ''overrun'' with applications many extremely strong and I ignored our previous experience of for example the appointment of a ''father figure'' for Neil Adams who was appointed (eventually) and then resigned a couple of weeks later, the mini Management team that became a disaster and the failure to appoint a player recruiter in good time that then meant that we either did not recruit or when we did generally either paniced or got it wrong!Well Mr Balls, please reassure me that huge progress is being made and this time it is me that has got it wrong, otherwise just like last season we will be running out of time!

TCCANARY 263 Posted June 8, 2016 If you didn''t email your time table to Mr Balls how do you think he will be able to satisfy it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted June 8, 2016 Try emailing the club not sure Balls reads this message board would you rather they rushed the wrong person in or took a bit of time and got the right person?Whoever gets the job it will be the wrong person for some of the morons on here before he''s even been in the job a day, it''s the norwich way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 183 Posted June 8, 2016 I''m guessing "as soon as possible" when you are after a new CE is a timeframe that can''t be compared to getting a temp in "as soon as possible" to stuff envelopes for a week.Senior positions take time and as someone on here has already pointed out, if we are after someone already in work, then there are all sorts of hoops to jump through before even a formal offer and acceptance of same can be accepted and, eventually, announced.The club have appointed an interim and he will keep things ticking over whilst they sort out his replacement. It''s not a postion that you can fill that quickly, in anycase, if they did, there''d be accusations of panic appointments and not looking carefully or searching for the right applicant etc.The notice period for a senior position is usually a lot longer than 4 weeks so even if we identified the right person on the same day as DMN quit, thats still only, what 4, 4 and a half or so weeks ago today anyway.No point in the club making announcements about how progress might be coming along, when the right person is in place that''ll be the time and I would imagine it would be by the end of this month at the latest-but even that might be over optimistic.

The Walking Man 13 Posted June 8, 2016 It took a month to appoint McNally and that was at a time when we didn''t have a chairman either so the need was arguably greater. Chill out and what will be will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted June 8, 2016 Reality is if we recruit from outside, there is a good chance any likely prospect will be under contract, so therefor don''t be surprised if he doesn''t have to give 3 months notice, at least.I still believe it will be Mr Stone, not sure why, but have that feeling.

Derby Canary 3 Posted June 8, 2016 The whole point is that EVERYTHING, new contracts for existing players,recruitment of new players etc etc is on hold until this appointment takes place, and even then ONLY after a settling in period! Do we ever learn from our mistakes or will this be a convenient excuse for further non performance next season?Not one of the existing Board have the slightest clue regarding the running of a football club!

pablofarmer 0 Posted June 8, 2016 Not sure that is true.In fact I am sure that Mr Balls has said that business can go on as ''normal'' under the interim arrangements. Things will take as long as they take. The Transfer window is open yet.Expiring contracts will expire at the end of June. Just relax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve had constant discussions with Alex, and Steve Stone is really stepping up into the role of interim chief executive.“I think we’ve got a Premier League-quality team doing our immediate summer business and the fact we’ve been able to move immediately with Steven Whittaker, you know there are discussions with Gary O’Neil – but many other things are going on as well. “I think that could reassure supporters we are determined to make sure we have the best summer we can, so we can get back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, and we can do that without needing to rush a long-term decision on the chief executive."So who do we believe, The chairman of the football club or the OP, even allowing for his glaring mistake? And who follows it up with this little gem.....[quote user="Derby Canary"]Not one of the existing Board have the slightest clue regarding the running of a football club![/quote]Apart from the twenty years Delia and Michael have been at the helm I suppose we have to go back to Foulger''s minor involvement.Conversely, what are your qualifications Derby, Which clubs have you successfully ran?(football manager 2016 doesn''t count, honestly).

As much as we appreciate Delia''s past financial contribution it''s not ''time with the club'' that qualifies her (and others) for the role as they have demonstrated time and again.Although I do not claim to have ''Managerial qualities'' as a long term supporter I am entitled to pass comment when I see the same mistakes repeated again and again.
