Thought it was common knowledge Flynn got fast tracked in after the players made their feelings known before anyone was interviewed?
I thought the club said they were interviewing 4 or 5 candidates? How did we know Flynn was the best candidate if we didn't even look at anyone else?
How does anyone know who the best candidate is for any job unless shortlisting/interviews are carried out.In the public sector (where I have spent most of my working life - 35 yrs in total) all the applicants would be able bring a charge under the Equal Opportunities Act if it could be proved the correct shortlisting had not been done.
I hope you're right. About the promotion bit anyway.It would be difficult to appoint a new manager if we do get promoted

It's not like he's been here all season as manager. Or signed many players. Plus his contract is only 'til the summer.We'll need better for the championship, but as an 'interim' type appointment, it's a very good one imo.

I bet you a pound to a penny he'll have had a part to play in the Cotterill deal.
No conspiracy theory.

Not saying for a minute this should happen at a football club, but how do we know the best candidate got the job?Cheapest option IMO, to which I am entitled

I bet you a pound to a penny he'll have had a part to play in the Cotterill deal.Dean Saunders has worked with Cotterill too...Dean Saunders was manager so they were his signings, Flynn obviously will have played some part in some of the deals, but so do many scouts... I wouldn't give them the job either I think in the summer (and in a new league) we need to go back to a SO'D type appointment (obviously not SO'D though)... Someone who can take the club forward and with an eye for the future footing of the club.Can people honestly see Brian Flynn as a manager for 3-5yrs or more? spearheading the club to progress etc?An experienced manager but who is also young. A manager who is proven at overachieving, yet potential to improve further. A manager who plays an attractive style of football and has a strong belief in a clubs youth policy and giving chances to them. A manager who is used to working on a very limited budget for the league they are in and a manager who is shrewd in the transfer market.You probably know my first choice, but he's not the only one who has most/all of those attributes. The manager is the most important role for a 'team' so therefore should be paid the most attention and should have the most investment put into getting the right one.
Flynn only officially joined the club as a scout the Monday after the York cup game, so the core of the team was already in place by then. Cotterill was one of the first summer signings we made towards the end of June.
Why are people so against Bryan Flynn? & who are these so called better managers?
No-one else was even interviewed!!!What?!No, I'm not joking. Just read part of an interview with JR and it's on the unofficial site. And Flynn 'will be part of the management team for many years to come'So now we know. And I still come back to my original point 'No other established manager would come to a club without money to spend'. So I guess why bother interviewing anyone else?
Dont understand all the negativity towards BF. A couple of bad results and everyone is out for him. We have key players out and a small squad.
The club never actually stated they had interviewed "5 or 6" managers. They said they had drawn up a shortlist of 5 or 6 managers.
