Steve Morison taking temporary charge

Surely Dalman means he won’t be appointed as manager permanently. Someone has to take over in the interim.
Whatever he meant to say Wales Online quoted him as saying he wouldn't appoint Morison as an interim boss - too risky.
Wales Online have since edited their story to substitute the word 'permanent' for 'interim'.
I copied the original in another thread - and it has since changed. I imagine Dalman was on to Abbandonato to make the change - either because he was misquoted or he didn't want to appear to be a total plank.
It's ok temporarily but he should hopefully be able to continue learning his skills at the u23.
Going to be tough for him.
"I've spent my entire career avoiding risk - and that would be a risk," he said.
Well that's one negative of having a non football man in his position.
You aren't running a hotel chain here mate, and we are already in a relegation battle because of your non risk taking approach. Dick.
Mehmet was not misquoted. I was one of the people present at the meeting and heard him say it. What was also said was that the directors of our club did not have the consent of the owner to make a decision on wjether or not to sack the manager so the decision must have come direct from VT himself.
Very strange.
Could have done this weeks ago.
Also surely they were expecting this? Haven’t they looked at other options.
Irrespective I think it’s the right short term appointment.
The decision to appoint Morison (and Ramasut) as interim manager makes perfect sense.
But the dishonesty of Wales Online (presumably Paul Abbandonato) in fiddling the story is just shocking. He has airbrushed the truth about this morning's meeting and made up something untrue to save the blushes of Dalman.
Not sure why there was any need to amend what was actually said as Mehmet said that he was happy for whatever he said to be quoted by those attending the meeting. And he very clearly replied to the suggestion of putting Morison in interim charge (interim not permanent was definitely the suggestion) as being too risky and that he was risk averse and didn`t want to take that risk.
Can we keep Terry? I like Terry
