Have this terrible feeling that the release of season books today means that there is no announcement regarding the new manager in the near future, otherwise it would have been put on hold especially if dd and pl believed it would excite the support, I firmly believe they have been caught with their pants down, there was never any plan to replace Ronny until that shocking display against the newco rocked the boat . Its going into the third week now and the fans are being kept in the dark like mushrooms, everything we do as a club is first class in many ways just need the people at the helm to realise get it wrong on the park the rest matters not.

In all honesty they would always do it this way.
Season tickets are done in 3 phases.
Phase 1 - Sign up the diehards, majority will renew regardless who is the manager.
Phase 2 - Announce new manager week beginning 23rd May, round up any potential drop outs and allows Lawwell to see how many are being swung by who the manager is.
Phase 3 - By announcing the week beginning 23rd May when the tickets go on sale to public after the 27th there will be enough buzz about the new manager.
I am in phase 2 holding off to see who the new manager is, I can't put myself through a year of Neil Lennon again.

I'll be surprised if the fans are stupid enough to get season books at an early stage
Years and years of bitter disappointment in management and playing staff mean I'll wait to see who's in charge and who we sign before I consider buying again.
