I'm pretty confident the owners are doing an awful lot behind the scenes to get the right person in place. I've got no concerns about them and am quite happy they're not conducting their business in the open just to feed the appetite of fans hungry for news. We lambasted Hicks and Gillett for airing their dirty linen in public, now the new owners are just as bad for doing the opposite.

I'd be surprised if they were already working to get the right man - until Wolves and Blackburn, it seemed they had no contingency plans in place to replace Roy in the interim. I really do believe you should take your time, but they came in and then vanished for three months. AWOL. It was about 6 weeks too long. They have to act with more urgency - not rushing, but urgency for a CEO, a manager and an interim solution (which we have).
I hope they've learned their lessons and will be more engaged.

Honestly mate, I rate you as a poster but this is moonshine. After the demise of H and G everyone should have learned the lesson that major changes of this kind just aren't played out in public until the management are ready to make their move. Subtracting 6 weeks from three months leaves about 7 weeks, and I'd call that rushing even if you wouldn't. It's precisely that kind of approach which got Roy his job to start with.

Thanks JJ, seriously, I just feel there's been a needless sense of drift. They let Roy drift on for too long. They wrote off this season, and they didn't have to. No CL footy till Aug 2012 if we're lucky. Malaise has set in, players are alienated, decline perceived. If they had of communicated on a regular basis a little here and there, at least people would have felt the ship had a captain. It seems like they just bought it for a bargain and have no urgency...I fear they do not realize we are counting on them to be solid stewards..
But I could be just "knee jerk!"

It's very knee-jerk.
You were right to want to want Hodgson out quickly admittedly, and there are a few doubts around these Americans, but I don't think we're in a position to be too critical right now. They've done everything the fans wanted.
