He’s unlikely to cut short his holiday IMO. | |

Doesn't need to be here in person for it to be confirmed. | | | |

Hurst - when do we think it might happen? on 09:56 - May 28 with 5963 views | SouperJim | So Hurst flying off to Dubai today for a week, then on a LMA course when he gets back... yet he'll be our manager within days? Begs the question has Evans already met him and discussed things? The concept of it all being done over the phone seems odd to me. | |

Or he quite simply delays his holiday for another day or so? Not sure it’s going to bother him when he’s appointed the manager of us and no doubt triples his wages. | |

Doubt anything has been agreed yet & he said yesterday there had been other interest so may want to speak to them too My guess would be news at the weekend | | | |

I'm just surprised that it's being reported as cut and dried and now seems to be an accepted fact that he'll be ours within days, given that it'll be at least a week now before he's back in the country and potentially will have other offers. | |

That's what agents are for, dealing with negotiations and tying up the legal/admin stuff. If, as some have suggested, we have been watching Hurst for some months, that may be interview enough. Plus, as Phil has hinted, there may have been previous informal contact (with Shrewsbury's permission), but all kept under wraps until the play-offs were out of the way. The process doesn't need to be done in a full blaze of publicity, especially if in sensitive circumstances for all parties. | |

Surely he needs to actually meet Evans firstly though? | | | |

My confidence around this being wrapped up swiftly and not going tits up is entirely down to Phil's apparent confidence. No pressure, Phil. | | | |

Evans has already spoken to him and his represenatives way before the play off final. I’m surprised how many are surprised that he is denying it. Not everything has to be made public... | | | |

If they have not met there has clearly been contact - I would expect ME to have a presence/property in Dubai or thereabouts. They dont have to meet at playford road | | | |

I don’t doubt he’s been spoken to. The question is more when it’ll be formally announced, with a picture of his big grinning face and holding aloft a town scarf on the pitch. I don’t think we’ll see that this week. | |

Me too. My confidence about most things in life are based on what Phil tells us. | |

More importantly, who will be making the key decisions in the interim. Less than two months to prepare a wafer thin squad for next season. Who’s doing the transfers etc? | | | |

Didn't Phil say there has (as far as he knows) been no communication between the parties as yet? Mr Hurst has some obligations to his current employers, given what one would expect to be done then the timeframe suggests he can't turn up & PR much before the end of June? | | | |

Personally, I’m not sure this could be described as wafer thin. GK - Bart, Gerken FB - Spence, Knudsen, Emmanuel, Kenlock, Cotter CB - Chambers, Webster, Woolfenden, Smith. MF - Skuse, Bishop, Nydam, Huws, Adeyemi, Ward, Downs, FW - Waghorn, Garner, Folami, Drinan, Sears, Morris Bowman’s job will have been to identify potential recruits in all areas of the squad, assuming the new manager wants to improve in those areas. The worry for me is the amount of time he’ll have to run his eye over the squad before the transfer window closes in early August. At best, he may we’ll have two months in total (assuming he’s appointed within the next week or so). | |
