I don't see why they would set such store in making the announcement of a new manager and DOF simultaneously.
I see no great advantage to waiting to annoint Ronald this long if the deal for the new manager is already signed.
In fact, I think it would have been far better to have announced the new managerial appointment this week and the DOF next week......to keep the good news items rolling on and the spotlight being shone positively on the club over two or more weeks.
Which leads me to worry a bit that the Koeman deal is not as set in stone as we are being led to believe it is.....not by the club it must be said because they are outdoing La Cosa Nostra when it comes or omertà.
But by the press.
In short......if this Ronald Koeman thingy goes tits up, I for one will not be surprised
