Dear Roker Report,

Three months is too long without a manager, and with Premier League clubs eyeing our top players, the prolonged appointment process increases the risk of losing them. We need to appoint someone within the next two weeks to stabilize the situation. Supporters have renewed their season tickets in good faith, trusting the management, and they deserve some positive news. Perhaps clubs should ensure the same manager remains in place from the start to the end of the season.

Ed’s Note [Gav]: As long as a manager is appointed by pre-season, we should be fine. Interest in our better players is inevitable, regardless of our managerial situation. Most of the squad is likely on holiday and not focused on football right now. The crucial point is to make the right choice, even if it takes a few more weeks.
