Have you ever been on hol before most threads , go off topic as you suggested. Where did I suggest that I wanted mourinho. Nearly a month is long to be concerned about the direction of the club going forward.

I've deleted the more stupid parts from your post leaving the only sensible part to comment on.

There seems to be an idea amongst many that the longer SP takes over finding a new manager the more likely it is that he will land the right one but if one thinks about it logically that isn't necessarily the case and he is just as likely to end up with the wrong one as if he made his mind up quickly

In terms of appointing a manager, a number of factors come into play which can lead to a protracted selection process, not just the fact that a Chairman etc cannot make his mind up as to whom he actually wants.

Are we now putting ourselves in a difficult position with perspective managers?

If we have conducted initial interviews but still not made a choice the candidates may walk away. I have gone for job interviews which are followed by a clear dragging of feet by the employer because they aren't quite sure/think someone else better may come along/I'm second choice, and in the interim period I get myself a job with an organisation (read Southampton for this example) that made their choice swiftly and committed to me being the man for the job.

I know we need to get it right, but I am genuinely concerned that we may run out of options.

Now here's Wright, his first chance to see what he can do, and he's through, it's Wright, ohhhh what an impact by the substitute. And it's Ian Wright who's sent the Palace fans into ecstasy!

Looks promising for me. the use of FBs going forward and CDM dropping back to distribute play. Sounds a lot like what Sam had set up

Only thing that worries me is the high intensity press when we dont have the ball, hopefully the coaching team can get our fitness levels up so we could see out the season. But teams that play like this tend to wither towards the end, particularly if they lack depth, which we do

Yes but supporters are jumping to conclusions without being privy to all the facts surrounding the selection process.
