New Manager Delay

[Lifelong supporter]

Some people obviously weren't around when he saved the club from oblivion.

[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 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

How am I blaming him for everything, You brought up last time to illustrate things are going to be as bad with this appointment, I only stated that it’s different because of the reason given. Vicar you have an axe to grind with the current board for some reason don’t try to deflect by making assumptions about me.

[the vicar]

Does that include if it had not been for him saving our club we would not have a club to support  now would we

[DonnyOsmond]

JR was great but let's not pretend he didn't make some bad calls down the years.

i never made assumptions about you at all i just said some on here or is that a guilt complex

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

God I hope so but I dont hold much hope out... It would be the most excited I have been since we signed Billy Sharp!!

[DearneValleyRover]

Does that in club if it had not been for him saving our club we would not have a club to support  now would we

What does that have to do with the point I made? In what way have I disagreed with you about JR’s part in the rise of our club?

You replied to my post saying I was having a go! You need to read before you post pal

[the vicar]

We never know till it happens

[the vicar]

But did i name you personally the answer is NO. I quoted a lot of people not just you

[Filo]

Some people obviously weren't around when he saved the club from oblivion.

Some of us were around before then, who do you think sold out to Richardson?

[drfchound]

Back on topic, if the third candidate turns out to be the best applicant, I wonder if they will ask him back for a second interview?

[DearneValleyRover]

You quoted my post so yes you did

[the vicar]

If you look you will ce i quoted a few yours was just included in the others and i cant remove them can i deeer

[selby]

Vicar, he said on talksport he was going to a wedding in Wakefield,and Did't mention football as a reason for coming back from Russia, We can live in hope though.
  He did say he would have to brush up on his Yorkshire accent , as he was set to meet some good people from gods own country.
   Not quite the same as mentioning football though.

And if they can’t decide after that, invite all three back for a final round. Assuming a fourth candidate doesn’t then enter the mix...

[the vicar]

My son said it was a business thing

Ah, but if they did invite all three back for a final round then the first two would have had one more interview than the third man.
Would the first two be able to think of anything new to say?

You also have selective memory. When he did sell out to Richardson it was seen as a positive move at the time. Nobody objected, it was only much later that we found out what a villain he was.

[the vicar]

i was physio at the rovers when he came in and he seemed a genuin nice guy when i met him,no one had any idea what he was going to end up like then i left as soon as i sust him outand went to Frickley

Absolute rubbish. He had already been convicted regarding Flockton Grey and was in the middle of running Brid into the ground. He was already infamous. I got asked to leave the Park Hotel the first time Uncle Ken met the supporters as I'd turned up with photo copies of his exploits from the Guardian and Scarborough Echo. He had been up to dodgy dealings for years.

This whole argument about the messiah or naughty boy is tiresome.

[DonnyOsmond]

So about this new manager....

[steve@dcfd]

So about this new manager....

Well he’ll be one of three.

Hmmm - hints from Steve in the know?

He stoppeth one of three

[ravenrover]

Just as a point of interest, do any clubs prem or otherwise have person/s on the interview panel with a football background? Why are people getting so uptight about who is interviewing who? We got DF last time so they didn’t do too badly then
As for the 3rd interviewee, according to Liam said person was out of the country when original interviews took place let’s all be patient and wait for the announcement next week

It's just another in a long line of sticks to beat the board with.

[silent majority]

I'm not sure what people mean about 'having a football background'. Did we ever complain about the owners of DRFC interviewing managers over the previous 40 years?

Today the current senior management have been steeped in football culture. They meet with owners and CEOs of other clubs every single week. The support they get from the EFL, LMA, FA, and other's is exceptional. Who are we to question if they are capable of selecting a manager? If it was my £2m I was throwing into the kitty I'd like to make sure I was selecting the best candidate.

[southwestexile]

Can someone just summarise what's happening regarding the managerial appointment please? I can't be arsed to wade through all the you said this, he said that b*llocks

[selby]

  SM. some people cannot see that the owners are the lifeblood of this club, and what a mess we would be in without them.
  I wish we had  had them in charge years ago, as in my time we have had some really poor ones, and not just Richardson, interspersed with good people who really have not had the funds to make much of a difference, but have meant well.
  As a club we are now in the best place we have been for years, with people at the helm who have the best interests as their main concern.
  Long may it continue is my hope, and if they want time to appoint who they think is the right person for the managers position then so be it, there will be a reason for it.

[Jonathan]

I’m eternally grateful to our owners and would never question their commitment to the club, nor would I wish to entertain the prospect of a future for DRFC without them. They have my 100% support and always have. But I still think this convoluted recruitment process is barmy!
