Its just a bit odd, I mean there is so much being said about it being him I don't doubt he is the next manager and I am now genuinely excited for him to start. I just want our new manager in so we we can start prep for next season asap, this includes assessing our current squad and making signings.

Its such a cliché but this is such an important transfer window and pre-season for us  we cant waste time. 

That and I'm bored. 

Completely agree mate. I’m bored of it too now. Want him just in and done so we can get on with it. I think we would all feel better if we saw a couple of signings follow him in the door too. 
That said, I’m really not sure what the restrictions are from Portugal (or anywhere) anymore. That’s me assuming he’s in Portugal anyway. 
 

Im also bored.

Maybe he doesn’t want Ferguson as his assistant and a certain emotional blue in the boardroom is having to have counselling before it can be announced. 

Don’t say bad things about Bill, TT has been peaceful for a couple of days. 

[London Blue]

I think having Duck as an assistant is a "Blue Line" if Carlo had him Nuno can.

Could be though.

What’s the rush? The players aren’t back until next month and I’m sure transfers will have already been discussed and the transfer window doesn’t open until July 1st anyway

Fonseca has been a done deal at Spurs for days now and also not officially announced yet, these things take time especially agreeing wages / contracts for all of his entourage

This is Taking too long, must be holing us to ransom.  Let's move on.

[Shukes]

It’s a bit worrying. If it takes him this long to decide….. imagine making substitute decisions when things aren’t going well!!!!!

Why is it automatically from Nuno’s side who’s holding it up?

Could just as easily be EFC delaying it or maybe the deal wasn’t as far down the road as the always reliable press had reported.

It was meant to be a joke haha. You know me… not very good at this humour thing

Think I read somewhere it should be done Wednesday. The sooner the better we really need to start the process of bringing players in.

Wonder if Mendes has been in touch with Farhad about his available players already. He's got a few we could be interested in on his list.

His players include André Silva, Guedes, Renato Sanchez, Ruben Neves (who should leave Wolves this window), Pedro Neto. Di Maria has one year left of his contract, or maybe a loan move for Trincäo from Barcelona would be on the cards?

Must be holding us to ransom? What else can you see in that crystal ball Bill?

[Hafnia]

Maybe ..... he's already confirmed? Maybe they are doing some sort of extensive "ducks in line" exercise with targets etc.

He may have a few "must have" players identified and we are securing them.  Dunno if there would be any advantage in that.... Just throwing bit out there.

Graham Potter and Duncan 

Care to expand a bit on that.

[Bill]

On Friday this was supposed to be done by the weekend, another one of Evertons 48 hours.

Don't even read what the Echo have to say anymore. Their articles are embarrassingly incorrect most of the time.

Me neither, it’s all speculative re hashed guff, anyone could write it, but probably with less errors than the Echo.

Fair enough if someone official from the club told you that but the 48hrs I read was all from papers - speculative at best.

Should stop trusting journalists and you won’t feel as let down. 

[Bailey]

Don't forget the journo's and bookies had Nuno signed for Palace before that turned out not to be true.

I am sure that it is all under control from our end, whatever that decision may be.

Yeah I just think Nuno's agent will fleece is Duncan knows all the problems here and I just think Potter is ready to step up and be a very good manager we need Duncan to be a proper assistant now not just a board carrier it might sound great these Portuguese players being bandied about but I feel Nuno has already failed at Wolves.

I agree, I would like Potter, I think he is a great young manager ready to step up with us  pep rates him and he will give his all with us.

I think it’s hard to say Nuno failed at Wolves. He got them out of the championship, followed by two top seven finishes. He’s had one poor season there.

I don't want him here, but that's just untrue. If anything he did the opposite.

Yeah, by the same logic Pochettino failed at Tottenham. Gone are the days, when good managers could easily last a decade at one club. Clubs are not hesitating to chop anyone's head after poor season, which is inevitable. No club can be successful season after season without dip in form at some point down the road. I don't want Nuno either, but will support him if he's being chosen.
