We are so slow as a club doing anything - Spurs have already near enough appointed Fonesca after having negotiations with Conte and Palace were on the verge of appinting Nuno.
Constantly feels like its a case of too many cooks in the kitchen with us "I want him no I want him sod off I fancy him". Think Brands is a slow operator in general anyway when you consider he does most of his business on transfer deadline day.
I'm usually incredibly critical of the club about stuff like this, but I think you have to cut them some slack on this one. We've had 11 days since we found out Ancelotti was doing one. I don't think 11 days is an overly long period of time to come up with a shortlist, do your due diligence on them, speak to agents etc etc
Palace knew Hodgson was retiring a while ago, they still haven't appointed anyone. Spurs sacked Mourinho in April, they still haven't got anyone.
Obviously we don't want it dragging on forever and it's important that we get it sorted sooner rather than later, but as long as we do things the right way I'm sound with it taking as long as they need to (provided the new guy is here for the start of pre-season). Brands can tee up the transfer stuff he needs to in the meantime, whoever the new manager is, the shortcomings in the squad are the same regardless of who comes in.
