I would presume that managers in the Premiership are now begining to reflect on the season so far, they have had time to assess their performance and personel (including their January buys), and would pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of their squads.
They would probably now have their scouts starting to identify potential targets for the next campaign.
With our situation of having no manager, doesn't this proclude us from being able to do this?
Don't we need someone in, sooner rather than later, so that he can decide how he wants to play with the people he will have and target the players he will need?
Leaving the appointment till the summer would be a big mistake IMO. everything being crammed into a busy "closed season".
