Could we go into the Man Utd game without a manager?

[agingerstokie]

That would really be awkward wouldn't it?

[riccyfuller93]

Yes it would

[upthefud]

No, would rather wait to get the right man in before the crucial games after than get a stop get in ready for a pounding

Yes we could. Nothing in the rule book requires a team to have a manager. Perhaps you have hit on something. We can just chant instructions from the stands!

[maninasuitcase]

Quite possibly.
The other issue is that it's another week wasted in the transfer window.

[Caerwrangonpotter]

Some people would say we haven't had much of a manager for most of the season!

[andystokey]

He will be sat in the stands nailed on football cliché

In any other time of the year I'd agree but saying it's January and there's potentially a James Beattie importance signing which could do us wonders then perhaps not.

[robstokie]

I think we need a new man ready, if not necessarily in charge for the Utd game - the new man needs as much time as possible to prepare the boys for the 6 pointers against the likes of Huddersfield, Watford and Bournemouth

Yeah I go for this. No lose situation, win and we can credit new manager syndrome. Lose and we can say well the managers not had time etc

[Bojan Mackey]

I’d rather go into it without a manager than with Mark Hughes, so I don’t think it’s a problem really.

[forwhatitsworth]

I don't think so. No manager in the world could get us anything from that game so no manager at all isn't going do any worse

[chigstoke]

Well if we go in with Bilic we may as well go in without anyone, it's about the same level of quality

[kjpt140v]

Errrr yes

[Deleted]

Yes we could. I'd rather that than a knee jerk appointment.

0-0 it'll finish.

[terrorofturfmoor]

There's a good chance of us keeping the score down now we have no manager!!!

[Deleted]

Would rather do that than get a quick knee jerk appointment

[prudhoe1981]

It's possible but not likely. I think we'll have a new gaffer before Monday.

[Deleted]

Just as an aside. Have Yeovil got any cloggers?

[armitagestokie]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Just like Eddie

[jarvinski]

We have done for the last 2 seasons

[wakefieldstokie]

I’d be very surprised if we did, but certainly possible. My guess is an announcement in the morning

[spiderpuss]

It wouldn't surprise me at all. Don't forget before the Newcastle game, the club were saying "nothing to be worried about". That translates into "we've not spoken to anyone right now". I also suspect that if we've been successful at Coventry, again the manager would have stayed.
Therefore 5 days to find a manager? Yep maybe, but if Rowett/ONeill are one of main targets then, no. I can't see it happening so quickly.
Knowing our previous dawdling appointment regime it wouldn't be shocked at all if it's after TDD. Annoyed, but not shocked.

[davejohnno1]

We could but we won't.

[scfcno1fan]

Yes we will.

[pyrus]

I do not think that the result would be any different whether we have a manager or not

[potter25]

I think if the manager is in place this week the United game is a bit of a free turn.
The season starts for the new guy on 20th v Huddersfield
They also then have 11 days to work with the squad before Watford

[right]

My concern is how we are going to sign anyone this window without a manager. Who would want to come to a club with a complete unknown?

[boskampsflaps]

Get Wilko in for the one game if needs be.

You've absolutely nothing to worry about on that score.
