I can’t see it being announced this week.

Even if it’s close to being sorted, when you have 2/3 bits of good news you don’t release it all at the same time! Marketing ploys will dictate that it’s drip fed in, in an effort to prolong the feel good ripple effect
There's an argument for that of course but I believe you're also crediting SUFC with an experienced PR department executing a campaign. As things stand, the ongoing delays are costing us way more in PR than a throttled release of good news. I think the announcement would also boost kit sales so for me, any delays would just be counter-productive.

Get it done tomorrow Ronald! 31st July at 2.07pm.
 
Easily the worst kit in our history.

Second worst after the double relegation custard splat kit.

Yes, that's true, quite a contrast to the speed of the Tilson to Sturrock and then Sturrock to Brown changes which it appeared Ron had in place in advance, they worked out a lot better than the recent ones too.

If it turns out to be Currie then I'd suggest that this was a move that Ron had in place in advance.

His best appointment was Tilly and he took ages to actually confirm him.
 
I think it will be August, just because of the change of month and something to do with the amount he'll have to pay re: furlough (if Fagan) or in compensation if Currie or, as seems less likely now, Maher. Given that it would be an unusual thing to announce on a weekend, I reckon it will be Monday with players asked to report from pre-season training on Tuesday
 
Ron is taking the absolute **** now. It’s like he’s learnt absolutely nothing from the whole Campbell fiasco. Can’t help but feel the club and players would be in a far better position if we’d just have hired Fagan a couple of weeks ago.

Better than rushing into picking someone like Steve Ball like our Sheeps neighbour did!
 
A month yesterday since Sol left.

It’s worse than that. Ron made his mind up about relieving Sol of his duties, long before that.

As usual, absolutely everything to do with this club, is done at a nonchalant and relaxed pace.
 
I might need to revise my prediction of Monday, given that the trials of letting crowds back into sports grounds has been delayed along with an upswing in infections will probably lead to a delay in the league restarting so Ron may take a bit longer
