A circus in both cases. Neither club was likely to go down under the manager they've just sacked, but either could be reeled in by Ipswich or Leicester if they screw up with a new appointment.

Good to get clarity on the reasoning behind the timing of Hayrettin’s departure. None the wiser on what might be next, but very appropriate for the club to take its time. Interesting bit will be the balance between taking that time and waiting for the perfect candidate to be available.

'the next manager is a fit for the broader strategy for the club'
What is the broader strategy for the club? Anyone know?

I'm guessing it involves overseeing the creation of a development team of some sort, or at least a commitment to embrace such a team as a pathway into the first team for younger local players. Right now we have to source absolutely every senior player from other clubs, even the makeweights and benchwarmers for the lesser cup competitions. There were games under both Paul Barnes and Hak when we were down to 12 or 13 fit players and named injured players on the bench who were never going to be fit enough to play, unless it was absolutely desperate and a starting player was more badly injured. Given how comprehensive and well reasoned the statement is on the whole, it would have been helpful to spend just one more paragraph outlining the key points of that "broader strategy".
I'm sure we must have had a shortlist of potential candidates in mind as soon as Hak departed, some of whom may have already been eliminated or made themselves unavailable, but other suitable candidates might have since emerged who weren't originally on the radar.
The delay perhaps suggests it's less likely to be someone immediately available (as Hak was when appointed within 48 hours) and makes me think we may end up with someone currently in an assistant or development role with a higher level club. But of course, it also needs to be someone capable of getting enough short term results from the squad he inherits to ensure our safety from another relegation.
We went more than 20 years without sacking a manager, and now we've done it 3 times in two and a half seasons, and apart from Martin Eede replacing himself with Wayne Burnett while remaining at the club as chairman, we hadn't had a mid-season change since 2001. This is why I never like mid-season changes, because there always seems to be more risk of getting the succession wrong, then you get locked into a cycle of further changes. If the first one had been timed better (and I think everyone except the minority of supporters who wanted Gavin Rose to have the job for life now acknowledges it should have been done at the end of the previous season) we probably wouldn't have needed the next two, and would still be in National South. You live and learn, but in our case it's been quite a costly lesson.

That's not a strategy. That's an aim. A strategy is how you're going to achieve those aims.
But seriously, if we're using this strategy to pick the new manager, what's in it? What criteria are we using for an absolutely enormous decision? What are we trying to do and how are we trying to do it?
