New Manager Thread - Poll Amended

[stuart1994 4,380]

I very much doubt it'll be a series of sit down interviews with potential candidates, but I can imagine that board/Wilson would like to at least talk to people before hiring someone, I very much doubt this will be a drawn out 4 month process.

Surely to fuck that’s all part of Ross Wilson remit, to continually keep tabs on potential managers.. add/remove when they become available or can be got so that when this happens we’re not caught cold and having to go into a semi final and possibly a European shoot out without a manager! 

Of course it is.

We'll have a shortlist and now we're interviewing to make sure we make the right decision.

Mental people have an issue with this.

It'll be a zoom conversation to discuss their vision for the club and make sure they align on what everyone wants. I don't want the board to pick the one obvious name out a hat and just give him the job and if you think that's how multi-million pound decisions are made then that's naive at best. 

They will be doing in depth research, asking other people who know them, analysing teams, tactics and results for multiple of candidates and yes, interviewing candidates themselves to further form a better opinion. If it takes 2 months or even 1 month then yeah, bullshit, but it's been 7 hours  All this will have started days ago, they will be talking to managers today already and I'm sure someone will be appointed soon 

And again for Villa, they decided to sack Smith so could have been preparing for this for 3 months for all we know

As Iv just said, surely the vast vast majority of this comes under Ross Wilson’s remit on a regular basis.. not when we lose our manager! This should all have been done to a point where we have identified who we want and go and have the conversations then to find out where they are at! If it’s not right, you move on to the next! 
 

Weeks without a manager is totally unacceptable!

Baffling that people can't get their heads round this.

Awww I'm not asking for the guy to be appointed tonight btw lol I get the point about needing time etc and if a manager is in for Monday/Tuesday in time for the players returning from international I'd say we've done good.

We just can't be going into Hampden next Sunday with Defoe and the B Team coaches, absolute shambles if we allow that to happen 

I think everyone is getting mad at something a poster on here has paraphrased from Edgar who is paraphrasing something that he's been told who has paraphrased something from the person making decisions. 

If there's no manager then reserve team coaches will take the game, not that unexpected and is obviously not the preferred option, it's just a contigency plan and when our whole coaching staff have left who else would it have been. Earlier update from Edgar said they would appoint someone ASAP and won't be strung along for months.

I certainly don’t have an issue with due diligence. I do have an issue with not having Gerrard’s replacement in the door by the Semi Final next Sunday - which is what has been alluded to by Edgar.

That would be beyond unacceptable.

Gifting the beasts a trophy in December means so much more than the League Cup and could fuck the season.

Mccann? I’d be up for that.

Kevin Thomson would be a good choice for me also

Do we know why he hasn’t been at last few games? Maybe he’s fallen out with the previous coaches 

He’s a paid employee. To be at Tottenham Stadium/Old Trafford when we’re playing or preparing for a game is unacceptable.

Course, it's all just what ifs at the moment & we could have a plan to get somebody in

If it had happened today and we had a game this Sunday I would forgive Defoe and Co being in charge but not next week, if it takes that long we've been caught well short.

And it's already been said that he has been monitoring, and has a shortlist, and all that hsd been said is we're going to interview (which just means talk to) those top candidates. 

Nobody has said we'll be weeks without a manager  Edgar has said the board want it done ASAP, won't be strung along, but the contingency plan is the B team coaches. Absolutely nothing which which wasn't already assumed.

According to David Edgar we have a shortlist and everyone on it will be interviewed. If we don’t have a manager in place before Hibs it’ll be Defoe and the B team coaches who will take the team. Board are preparing to take as long as they can to make correct long term appointment. He didn’t disclose who were on the list.

Let's hope the shortlist is fairly short then, we need to get this done as quickly as we can surely. 

I certainly do not want Defoe and B team coaches taking the team for the semi-final if possible.

And I don't think it will. It's purely a contingency plan and probably because the person finding out the info asked who would take charge

Gerrard been gone for 7 hours and people already screaming about what about a shambles it is that we haven't appointed anyone yet and complaining about the prospect of due diligence being done. FS 

Man, don’t you know that interviewing someone is a sign of complete incompetence. 😜

If we had appointed someone today the same people might well have been complaining about rushed appointments with no consideration.

I’m finding it increasingly hard to tell who is trolling and who is lashing out.

[Creampuff 22,628]

No reason why we can’t interview a shortlist in time for the semi-final. I’d be doing it over the weekend tbh.

whenever I hire someone I just throw all the CVs on the floor and launch a dart in the air, closest candidate wins.

Welcome Harry Redknapp.

Will Defoe's team talk for Hampden just be re-watching snippets from the last fucking dance?

[STEPPS BOY 75,035]

The club must have known on Tuesday or Wednesday morning at latest so should be well down road of list of preferred candidates.

To not have a manager in by next Sunday would be a dereliction of duty.

How long til he “throws his hat in the ring” after we beat Hibs?

[Bluekev 44,460]

I don't have any faith in our board when it comes to doing anything. They couldn't even organise a decent flag and flagpole for what should have been a massive celebration.

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

what would everyones top 5 be?

Im going for the following :

1. Smith

2. Farke

3. GVB

4. Russel Martin

5. Davidson, at a real push.

He might even get the job if his powerpoint game is even half decent.

The last time Douglas Park overseen an appointment it took over a month of interviews… to appoint Pedro Caixinha! We were fed the exact same shite then!
