Update - new manager search

[Copps is Magic]

http://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/news/article/a-pledge-to-our-supporters-2678232.aspx

Many people already applied (some 'high calibre'). Job advert in the next 48 hours. Short-list 21st September. Interview two weeks after.

[One_Matty_Lucas]

I like that, very transparent and manages expectations of fans.

[Copps is Magic]

I think they're priority is a thorough application process but I also read that as they're giving the corporal 5 games in charge.

That's good to see, and good that the club are communicating with the fans

[Old Popsider]

What's the odds for Sam Allardyce? Probably 1,000-1 

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Very clear, very good.

[turnbull for england]

Dennis wise ? Really ? Would anyone consider him for any job  anywhere

[Dare to dream!]

Let's sit tight and see what happens thrn

[IDM]

Seems like quite a long process to me, giving Jones a significant time to impress, or not as the case may be?

[GM-MarkB]

Dennis wise ? Really ? Would anyone consider him for any job  anywhere

Maybe Asda...but the top shelves might be a problem...

[Metalmicky]

Paul Jewell is always on these lists along with Ian Dowie.... must be a standard thing to include them...

[RobTheRover]

Dennis wise ? Really ? Would anyone consider him for any job  anywhere

Dennis "Crumble" Wise?

Behave.

[bobjimwilly]

IRWT

[Lipsy]

I preferred our previous gaffer's barnet...

[RobTheRover]

I think "hairstyle" should be a part of the shortlisting process.

[Dr Fundlekrotch]

But would that rule Rob Jones out?

[DaveDRFC]

But would that rule Rob Jones out?

No way, he's got a real man's hair cut.

[rosso old boy]

put gary brabs on that list

[Lipsy]

I think "hairstyle" should be a part of the shortlisting process.

I agree. Can you 'ave a word?

[Dare to dream!]

One problem I have with the thorough manager search process is that if we have a high calibre applicant that we are interested in, a manager gets sacked this weekend he could be snapped up by Monday and we've lost a good candidate.

[MachoMadness]

Feel a bit ill seeing Westley that high up on the list. Kitson.

[bfdoncaster west]

Ally McCoist wood be good

[RedJ]

He was awful with Rangers.

[Rios]

Steve Evans or Graham Westley would involve me handing my season ticket back!

[drfchound]

He was awful with Rangers.

me and you could manage Rangers to a top two finish in Scotland RedJ

[The Red Baron]

He was awful with Rangers.

Funny how they are having a pretty good season after deciding not to go down the "former player" route.

Mind you, I'd have loved to have Warburton at Donny. Like SO'D, he comes at football from a different direction to the bog-standard manager. I like that.

[PDX_Rover]

Must have his own pen must surely be one the top criteria?

[Sammy Chung was King]

I preferred our previous gaffer's barnet...

''LEGO'' of it he hasn't got a chance.
