I know I should not treat everything in press as gospel BUT.
Press saying that the Columbus Crew General Manager saying Nancy STAYING with them.

I'm very happy with MON and SM to continue until such times, but I hope it doesn't turn into an Eddie Howe farce.
{Ed007's Note - Hopefully it ends the same way as the Eddie Howe farce.}

Ed do you reckon we will end up with someone else?
{Ed007's Note - I certainly hope so, the worry is that all the gossip/rumours are about Nancy although I don't believe for a minute he was in London last week for talks - in this day & age yet there wasn't one single picture of him? ?

ED007 are the people in charge of our recruitment REALLY this bad or are Board and DD not giving a Feck.
{Ed007's Note - If they're dragging their heels or having second thoughts about appointing Nancy then I'm not going to complain. I don't care how long it takes as we have MON in there to steady the ship and I'd happily have it dragging on for months to make sure we get the right man in.}

Ed, for sure.
Can't believe we would consider such an inexperienced guy… nothing against Nancy as an individual seems a very decent guy …but it is incredulous that he would be on our radar.
{Ed007's Note - Exactly, it's just so underwhelming and be honest, if TRIFC were considering Nancy we'd be rolling about laughing. The comparisons with Ange are preposterous and just people trying their best to see any positives in it.}

I for one am delighted that there is no source whatsoever saying done deal with Nancy, as it leaves the potential that something else might be going on behind the scenes, similar to when Ange appeared
I am not and don't want to be a 'Nancy bhoy', I want a young, modern thinking, experienced Manager, with a history at a decent level. With a style that matches what we want from our team
For Michael Gannon to suggest that those of us who really don't want Nancy as Manager, are snobs, is insulting. He does not understand where we are coming from.
The media want him because that would give sevco the best chance of catching us.
It isn't snobbery to want what's best for your club.
We do not have the opportunity to potentially give up this season and maybe next, to give him the chance to get his system in place and for the players to understand it.
MON has come in and tried to get the players to play a system they are comfortable with, and is a system the players we have can adapt to quickly.
No one has said Nancy's system is anything but challenging for the players to understand and adopt.
MON until summer would not be a bad thing but what effect would it have on our January window.

It wouldn't shock me if we do nothing in this window.
This board seem content to go to war with the fans.
I said a few weeks ago that the board want rid of the GB and replace them with fans on the waiting list and now a blind man can see this unfolding over the last couple of days.
This will get a lot worse before it gets better in my opinion.

My worry is there's zero noise regards someone else, ange was out blue,
But had to be after Howe saga, I just pray that if there's doubts it's because there's a decent candidate.

Time will solve who the manager will be. any guessing is absolutely pointless.
The debate on whether he is good enough can come then.
In the meantime Martin appears to have steadied the ship.
