New Manager Delay

[silent majority]

It's far too simplistic to suggest that signing players is a case of first come first served which leaves the dross for everybody else.

A lot of good players and agent's will bide their time waiting for the right club and the right deal. Many will find that they've waited too long and will have to reduce their demands. The best players won't take the first offer that comes in.

Most players, and managers to be fair, are still on their holidays. They wont be doing anything drastic for quite some time.

I would suggest we take a chill pill.

[Lifelong supporter]

Do you know the real reason for the delay and why we are not interviewing again today, or tomorrow?

[The Red Baron]

Re. Mark Yates. Just seen he's taken the job at Macclesfield Town. Big loss to Solihull Moors. Would have been good for us IMO.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Do you know the real reason for the delay and why we are not interviewing again today, or tomorrow?

I don't care what the reason is except there is obviously a reason otherwise it would have been done by now.

Do people think they are delaying it to piss people off?

Logistical reasons, the club pool car has broken down?

One of the interview panel's car has broken down?

Both potential managers cars have broken down?

Everyones car has broken down?

😀😀😀

The pen has gone walkabout again?

[DearneValleyRover]

It happened when Dickov was appointed, he and Appleton were invited back.

and look what shit we got then

And as stated before the person responsible for employing him is no longer at the club.

Another opportunity to bash JR 

How is stating a fact bashing him? I leave the speculating without any to you, given your such an expert at it.

That is my thinking too. the one worry I do have is that we do not have anyone from a footballing background either on the board or this interview panel. Normally you would know the man you are after because of either his reputation and/or track record.

the process we are going through now does not suggest otherwise and if I were a manager would feel a little disappointed that I am being made to do a second interview and that they have not seen enough in me or understand my credentials.

It is a two way process which is different from a normal business environment.

The whole thing just leaves me feeling quite unexcited and beige (which I imagine is the new colour of the board room walls and floors - we don't want to go being too risky and exiting now do we ;-)

[wing commander]

it's a few days delay on a really important decision...Don't understand what people are getting worked up about..They want to make sure they have left no stone unturned in doing there due diligence..And rightly so

    I'm sure they are talking to people who have worked with them,etc etc getting as full a picture as they can prior to any appointment.The timeframe will still be much shorter than most of the clubs who have changed manager this summer..it's not a problem but professionalism in my eyes..

[Filo]

They obviously don't use the same interview procedure in other areas of the club, going on the piss about I had this morning picking up my silver membership free shirt

What free shirt is that then?

Bit of news.

[Copps is Magic]

Almost certainly explains it for me. A 3rd, probably on paper a lot better candidate, has applied at the last minute. There is hope I think.

Thats how I see it as well

Ah the one where you pay an extra £150 to get a free shirt.

And a car parking space, which to many is very useful.

Yes, I can afford it, you also get free car parking, a free matchday programme and a free pound draw ticket, at all that together aling with the £150 shirt and it works out a lot dearer than £150

[BiargeBob]

I wasn't aware that I had applied, but when I get back off of my holidays on Sunday & l will let you know if I have a letter waiting for me from the club, inviting me for an interview.

[DonnyOsmond]

Good luck Bob.

[steve@dcfd]

The good thing we have two highly qualified managers in the running for the job. The interviewers can decide between the pair they both must fit all the criteria required.

[Copps is Magic]

Tough on the 3rd candidate that Steve.

[Wild Rover]

It seems to me to be a way of getting No.3 in. So why not simply interview him and decide who to employ. I cant see anything ( other than salary) being discussed as surely all that could be asked and could be answered was at interview 1. Candidate 3 must be special to allow him in at this stage.

[the vicar]

Here we go how is this. Mick McCarthy was on talk sport yesterday in Russia, they asked him if he was staying for the whole tournament and he said he due's not know yet as he had a bit of football business in Wakefield the other day and he does not know how it is going to go could that be our managers job he is on about

[MrWoodySir]

It happened when Dickov was appointed, he and Appleton were invited back.

and look what shit we got then

And as stated before the person responsible for employing him is no longer at the club.

Another thinly veiled unnecessary dig at JR there.

some on here can't leave the JR thing alone they are obsessed by blaming him for everything

[steve@dcfd]

Tough on all three but when the board has said we are aiming for the top six, not hope to be, then it will be a tough decision

Good grief it’s only yourself and other current board bashers that would interpret it that way, if I was going to have a dig it wouldn’t be veiled at all. Simply stating a fact.
