Roy is a "class act" despite what you think ... however, he is probably at point in his life where he may want to step back and enjoy a genuine retirement. After all, it's always nice to go out on a high.

Currently, there are some very good football managers available if Parish and Co get out their cheque book.

No contest, Roy and Ray, straight away.

Well Roy was very clear that right up to the Notts game he had not been asked the question. Surely whether he was first choice or not, he would have been asked if he wanted to be considered. Maybe that question has now been asked ,but the more time goes by without a statement on it ,it doesn’t seem likely.
It looks as if they are looking elsewhere, but where is the big question. I think we have to accept it’s a job that not everybody will want to take on. Top people want silverware, not likely. Up and coming , might see Vieras experience as a put off. It could get difficult . Just hope whoever it is we get lucky.

Maybe he has already signed but for some reason the club dont want to announce it

I like that idea, let’s hope West Ham get silly, and it became possible.

Very good point, Poirot, that would explain the Wilf delay situation also.
