Does anyone expect an announcement on Howe tomorrow, to align with the stock exchange . I get a feeling we will be waiting until the end of the week, no more news has broken since last Thursday really . I hope I’m wrong but I have a feeling he will keep us waiting.

I really don't know Quinn, it's hard to tell with the board these days.

More hopeful of an announcement Quinn than expectant, but if it's going to be this week then another couple of day's won't make any difference. HH.

I don't think The new manager will be put in place until the season ends now. Because it won't be his team with no time to work with the existing squad. If you could imagine a new manager taking over and we lose one or two games even before the end of the season people would be wanting rid of him Celtic may well say who it's going to be before the end of the season but I can't see him taking over just do due diligence on the squad that we have already.

I agree Tony, I'd be hopeful the new manager will be announced shortly and start 'officially' at the end of the season. This would at least put the fans minds at ease, put an end to constant speculation and give us something to look forward to.
JK has been told he's managing the team until the end of the season at any rate.

For me it makes complete sense to let Kennedy take the last 6 or so games and let the new manager start afresh in the summer. The board have let it go on this long, what difference will these last 6 or so games make? That said the new manager should be announced ASAP, even although he’s not in the dugout, he can closely monitor the squad, find out who he wants, who he doesn’t, and if any that were wanting out may now change their minds ie ajer ( not holding my breath on that though) . He can also start to work out what he’s needing to bring in and start making inroads on targets. The one thing I will say is wether it’s Howe ( which it looks like) or it’s another, whoever gets the gig MUST be shown patience and given time. This is a situation he’s inherited, not created. There’s one hell of a rebuild in that squad required if the ones who want out do leave, on top of the players their that simply aren’t good enough and any manager brought in has to be given time to sort this mess out.

I would much prefer the new manager starts immediately as he has lots to do to prepare for next season.
1. He has to get players fit for next season.
2. He has to assess the squad and see who is staying and going.
3. He needs to get them used to his work methods.
4. He has to put all his staff in place.
5. He needs to start identifying new players.
6. He has to get them ready for CL qualifiers.

We need him in now to start dealing with our shambles of a club and start preparing for all the work needing done. The Summer is too late. We are always too late in the CL even when we have a manager, to wait is inviting another disaster, then again our board do love creating them. It's the only thing the excel at. Great Businessmen though, never forget that. They've conned many with that garbage.
