***Manager/DOF rumours thread***

Looking through the last couple of dozen posts it looks like the rumour mill is drying up.  Nothing much seems to be happening.  The Club are not saying anything, No hints or whispers of imminent signings or even of candidates being interviewed.      

Feels a bit like the whole process of finding a suitable interim manager to replace Murty has never even got going and was probably never going to get going if all the attention is on a longer term head coach and DOF.  Which may be likely to mean the Board is prepared to write this season off and even write off the requirement to get EL football.   Why?  Because leaving a kindergarten novice of a caretaker manager in charge risks losing points at a time of the season where you just run out of enough games to create the sort of transformation needed in the team.  

Murty is not prepared to raise his voice (see his interview on the Rangers website) but is happy that the team has had frank discussions among themselves about performances not being good enough.  This is simply following the Warburton school of mr nice guy way of management.  We'd heard (twice) that there had been sharp exchanges of views before OF games and we've heard plenty of times this season of post-match dressing room 'discussions' and the royal 'we as a group' take the blame sort of stuff.   No SAF-style hairdryer management from the Warburton / Murty brand of people management when perhaps some good old fashioned autocratic boss-type 'now get this you fucking dozy lot' might be a damn sight more effective.    So it seems to me more than possible that King and the Board have already let this season go and are just looking to install their longer term head coach and DOF as the beacons of hope for next season.  ........and the beacons of hope that those appointed will be convincing enough to sell the STs the Club needs to sell for next season.

Feels like they are going to let things drift along a bit so that Murty takes the OF game and all the flak that might fly from that then let the DOF / Head Coach appointment be made and its write off this season and use the rest of it as shake down territory to see who stays and who goes for next season.   If that's the game that King and the Board are playing the chances are there are going to be some very uncomfortable upcoming games because the players have already proved time and again that their frank talks do not work and Murty just seems to be in let them get on with it mode.

Left Leicester this evening, less than a year after guiding a recently promoted team, full of cast offs and lower league players to a historic Championship on a budget that was minuscule in comparison to their title rivals.

Worth a punt?
