You never know mate, you could be on to something here.I know zero about any of this, but could there be a scenario where not alerting the world's media that you're looking for a new manager may be of benefit? As soon as Martinez goes the press will be all over any club movement. What if they tip off another club who then pounces? Like I said I've got no clue but I can imagine thatthere's probably a dark dirty aide to getting new managers same as there is with players and striking with early with the element of surprise could be beneficial if we're after a big fish.
Liverpoo sacked their manager to pounce on a better one, with some of these managers out of contract we could well be trying to secure one in advance as you say.
