Bowyer still in charge by the Sunderland game?

Bowyer would expect to lose the caretaker tag by August 4 when the League One campaign starts rolling.

“I think it has to be changed before Sunderland – either way,” he said. “Whether new people come in, or it is the current owner. He [Duchatelet] has already said if nothing changes by August then we’ll have a chat and sort something out.”

The above from the South London 8 days ago.

The ongoing stalemate between the owner and scarf wearing Aussies does not likely to be resolved in the next 10 days, so Du Chat Away has a big decision to make with Lee. Give him the job on a permanent basis or run the risk of losing him before the first game

  • Maybe this was discussed when Lee met with RM at the end of last week....
  • What is the record for longest caretaker manager?

    No idea but we are the only club in the top 5 divisions of English football with a caretaker in charge.
  • Just checked. David Pleat 8 months 2 weeks at Tottenham
  • What is the risk of losing him? Another appointment will not be made and he will be in charge. It is what it is and bowyer is aware of that
  • It's simple enough for Duchatelet to deal with this. Give LB the job on a one year contract. If the Aussies or whoever else takes over and want to pay him off, they can - and it won't be Duchatelet's problem then anyway.

    This should have been done already. Makes no sense to bring in someone else at this stage.

    I suspect Bowyer’s comments about player departures not being a matter for him is a hint of frustration there.
