Terminal Boardom No doubt SJM and co have told BMc and the playersthat he has the job until the rest of the season but sworn them to secrecy. If The Board have not done this then they are a bigger bunch of lowlife scum than I previously thought. We are struggling. The previous manager got rid of very quickly without an obvious external successor lined up. If we were going to have a new manager something would have been said by now and the rumour mill would have been working overtime.
What I fail to understand is why be so devious about it? Why keep the appointment a secret from those that REALLY matter. IE the supporters. Another example of shoddyness from the Mad Stad.
Of course, I could be wrong...
The ones that really matter are the players so they know who their boss is. The supporters are mostly superfluous.

And to tell you yet again: The message from the club has been very clear. McDermott is manager, and will remain so for the forseeable future.
It would be idiocy to have him on anything other than a temporary contract right now. Why tie ourselves to him unnecessarily? He's not going to want to let go of the job security he has of going back to chief scout if it doesn't work out in case it goes horribly wrong quickly.
Most sensible decision all round.
