THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Surely it is because you can't check in to the hotel until 4pm without paying a room supplement - every penny counts on a League Two budget

5pm that's all I'm saying.

Yep, but nobody else knew that apart from Pete did they?

Good to see we've finally sorted it though and the real work can begin.

Personally think Pete is naive himself at times - his last two appointments haven't been great amongst numerous other faults he's admitted to. There is no rule that managerial appointments must take a certain amount of time. Some clubs appoint managers very quickly and it works out for them. Some clubs (like us) take weeks and so far it hasn't worked out for us (Neilson). Let's hope Pete's choice to take so long and wait for Tisdale pays off.

"These things take time" does not mean it has to take as long as it has, as other clubs have shown this summer. It's naive to think it won't impact on our transfer activity. Tisdale himself said he hasn't met the players yet, so still plenty of work re assessing the squad before making transfer decisions. No doubt our delay has cost us potentially one or two quality free agents.

But, it's a new start. Let's see how he gets on this summer and judge the transfer activity at the end of the window. I like him, he seems a smart guy and certainly more experienced than Neilson and Micciche.

Fucks sake! He hasn't met the players yet because they're all on holiday. He's only left Exeter last Thursday.

Give him a fucking chance. He's been in the job for an hour and sixteen minutes. No fucking wonder I only post on non-footy threads these days. Fuck me!

Well obviously Gers - was I complaining that he hadn't met the players? Nope! I was complaining it took us this long but all the prep/assessment/analysis of the squad will be delayed because of that and that will impact on transfers.

I also said at the end let's give him a chance and see how the window pans out. If the transfers are shit/underwhelming we'll know why. If Tisdale brings in quality players now I'll gladly eat his tiny hat.

But how could the appointment of Tisdale gone any quicker?
