Robinson not one of them.
-
Appleton
Moore
Flitcroft
Billy Russell and Roy Keane? I would guess from the betting market
-
Don't rule out Robinson. Free Press said reports linking Hull to McCann were 'wide of the mark' exactly how they describe the Robinson reports.
Yorkshire Post revealed the Moore news and to be honest the Free Press have been poor and haven't offered any reliable breaking/exclusive news this summer.
Take them with a pinch of salt.
-
They also say “we understand”..
-
I can’t recall the Free Press saying the links with Hill were wide of the mark. They may have said there had been no approach when there hadn’t. So the official links were wide of the mark at that stage. What’s now clear is that McCann and agent were negotiating with Hull behind our backs, ahead of the official approach.

Didn't an earlier poster admit they started the Russell rumour with their mates as a laugh. The same with the Turkish guy was done by a group on twitter.
-

The reports also now say that any announcement of who the new manager is may not be made public until later in the week (than Tuesday).

'Reports linking Hull with McCann were wide of the mark' - this proved to be incorrect. The reports were bang on.

'Reports linking Hull with McCann were wide of the mark' - this proved to be incorrect. The reports were bang on.
The article in the Free Press (that it links to) focusses on the lack of official approach, which I don’t think there had been at the time. Obviously the reports linking McCann with Hull were entirely correct, irrespective of the absence of an approach through the official channels, as McCann was already talking to them and the deal effectively done before the talks between the clubs.

And at the same time he was dismantling our team and didn’t teplace anyone

That story has been briefed to the Free Press by Rovers. I would doubt highly that Robinson is part of the gang of five. Moore and Flitcroft clearly in there. Other three are very interesting. Potentially one is Appleton. Other two?
-
Moore, Flitcroft, Appleton, Keane and Eustace.
-
On twitter someone reckons Harford and Hill.
-
Moore, Flitcroft, Appleton, Keane and Eustace.
Eustace would be a good candidate on the shortlist. Highly rated.
-
It's quite impressive how little is known about who is and isn't interested, club very tight on that really.
-
Moore, Appleton, Flitcroft, Kitson and Hayrettin.

Appleton
Moore
Flitcroft

If I bet a lot of money on Fatty Evans, would that make him more likely to be getting an interview when his odds tumble?

To be fair it does leave a pretty empty canvas for the next manager with decent funds.

Wouldn't paint be money in this metaphor? The final picture is the built team imo.

Your £20 wouldn’t make a difference to the odds.

What would people think, if Emma Hayes was one of the people on the shortlist???
-

Other than her doing well at Chelsea I don't know much about her. If she can get us playing decent football, develop players, etc it's fine with me.
-
Are all female players full time?
Would imagine that would be a major issue. Need a manager who is used to working with players 7 days a week.
-
Yes the top women’s teams are professional, I believe.?
-
What would people think, if Emma Hayes was one of the people on the shortlist???
Good, if she can do the job and is the best candidate get her in.
-
The time will come when a woman becomes manager of a lower league club..A few years ago people would have laughed at the idea but now it's very feasible..
Eventually someone will take the plunge,probably not because they think she's the right person for the job but on just how much interest that will generate for the club from outside circles..The media would go crazy for it..
However that then paves the way for the next generation of female managers...Wouldn't bother me one bit tbh...
-
I think the first one would need to be a success otherwise clubs could shy away from it for a while.
-

Disagree. The first one may not succeed due to the person’s abilities, irrespective of gender.

I'm 100% agreeing with you but clubs may look at the first female manager not doing well due to their own abilities as a reason not to appoint others. On the other hand if they're a success then it will open it up and more will follow.
-

Agree - don’t think Emma Hayes would consider moving up north though.
Another thing to bear in mind (only because it would be new, happens all the time in the real world though) is maternity, I think EH stepped away for a while. A decent assistant would be invaluable
-

I’d be devastated.
-
Why.?
-
Why.?
He's a big Chelsea Ladies fan
-
Why.?
It would be a ridiculous gamble. Managing womens football is totally different and as far as i can see shes never managed a mens team.
Do you think she would get the respect from the players? Seriously?
-
If a woman was appointed as a result of a robust process - that the players were aware of - then yes, they should respect the manager.

It'd be devastating if Copps got it by the same logic.
-

I think we shall agree to disagree on this one..
Im just glad it wont happen.
-
Times are changing and all for the better. Not so long ago there would have been uproar (from some) at the idea of a black manager. If a woman was the best person for the job, no problem in my book.
-
Is there any woman managers in any male league football from semi-professional football up that anyone knows of?

It may not happen for a while, but will eventually..

Awww jeeez the “ ridiculous notion “ Gang are going all out celebrating there PC friendly approach to serious debate...
IT WONT HAPPEN,! for a long long time.........I’m not saying they can’t be coaxed away from Corrie for a few hours to manage a footy match,...but it just won’t happen whilst there is big bucks riding on promotion/relegation issues....
I wouldn’t be devastated when the time comes for a Lady to Manage a football team....but that’s a long way away....
How many would welcome the rule of having 3 females in the first team squad ?
-

Didn’t that Cerise’s Lunghi Lady have a couple of seasons managing a footy team?

Spit it out .....what is the criteria to be “ the best person for the job”
This should be the most interesting reply I’ve read.....
-
I think a Tibetan Monk would make a good football manager, but I’m sure there are some on here that would recognise that he may not be qualified, especially if he appointed a goat has is no2
-
It's a tight ship now isn't it? just a few years back we might as well sat in on the interviews we knew so much that was going on.
Now it looks like we know bugger all, not even for certain who the interviewees are, even the rumour mill has come to a standstill.
-
Was told by a decent source Mick Harford is being interviewed

What in god's name are you blathering on about. It already has happened - in the French League and the Irish league if you care to widen your view a little.
To address your silly point at the end the answer its pretty obvious, no one would welcome it because there are physiological differences between men and women at a general level. Such differences have no bearing on being a successful manager, however, so in theory there should be equal opportunity for all sexes. It's not quantum physics.
It being unlikely to happen is nothing to do with gender. It's the simple fact that there are hardly any female coaches/assistant managers or other similar positions filled by women.

Lol you are a funny one....
I accept that some nations will attempt these silly things because they want to be the butt of the joke...
However,
To address your non addressing my silly point, I actually asked how many on here would be up for the idea of 3 women in a first team squad.....I don’t need to know the physiology of the dilemma, just whether you are a yay or nay to the idea.....I personally would welcome with open arms the idea of a woman or two playing in the premiership, it would certainly curb the play acting...I mean a woman looking scornfully, hands on hips shaking her head sympathetically would make great tv viewing....there are so many plus points for the introduction of women into the game , I’m shocked that it’s not being eagerly debated,
-
Bullshit alert.!!
-
Bullshit alert.!!
I’m assuming that’s a definite no to women playing in the men’s team..?
...awww bless you seemed so “pro female everything” for a moment...good to see you have a level of “ unacceptability “
-
I wasn’t going to dignify your posts with a response but you either have no idea or you are a WUM..
Of course, it is feasible for a woman to manage a mans team regardless of how likely that may be.
Mixed football as players.? No, that stops after primary school for reasons stated before.

Least we'd be able to get a good song going again. "Get your tits out for the lads" ;)

Weird isn't it how the press are quickly aware of who some interviewees are, but not the others.
I've been told who the fifth candidate is (not Flynn) by a colleague of his agent, but there's not been a mention of him in the press at all which I find surprising.

Sharing is caring. It's like a panini sticker book, we've nearly got a full set but you're holding the shiny.

KK. He’s coming home, he’s coming home...etc.
-
I did promise not to broadcast the name, and don't want to drop my friend who tipped me off in it.
Can say it's a strong candidate - hence me saying they'd probably be my second choice behind Moore on another thread. A few other Rovers fans I've spoken to in person about it think he'd be a decent appointment were he to get it too. The agent also says he'd be a good fit for us, but then he's paid to say that isn't he.

It's Wenger. Thanks for the leak Viva. Allez!
