The longer this drags on the more chance Dave Jones has of being appointed. The club cannot afford to be in limbo for much longer, results have to improve.
If the club are totally determined to get Slade then its more than likely going to happen, regardless of what Orient say or do. I'm not 100% convinced that City are certain he is the man for the job. I would say its more likely at this early stage that City just want the opportunity to talk to him. If he is the one they want and City make that clear then the next move will probably be Slade resigning from Orient. Until that happens or Orient relent then there is always the chance of someone else coming in. None of us can really say for sure who the club has spoken to so far. We can safely say that Dave Jones, Scott Young and Kevin Cooper have been interviewed but aside from that its anyone guess. Considering we made our first move for Paul Hartley I'm quite suprised nothing came of that? I'm not sure how it works but if a club makes an official approach and gets knocked back if they are really keen then surely the next step is to put pressure on and up the ante. After this its then down to the manager to make his move. Seems strange to me that two lower league managers have been approached and neither has so far been followed up. You would think that the likes of Slade and Hartley would jump at the chance of job with City, they would both probably double their wages.
I think this is going to run for a little a longer. Its gone quiet since Orient released their statement. If City and Slade are serious this should be all wrapped in a day or so. The closer we get to the weekend I would not be at all suprised if City just turn to Dave Jones with Scott Young as his assistant.
