Robinson not one of them.

[Dare to dream!]

Appleton
Moore
Flitcroft

Billy Russell and Roy Keane? I would guess from the betting market

[Move DRFC]

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.

[IDM]

They also say “we understand”..

[Jonathan]

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.

[Copps is Magic]

Billy Russell and Roy Keane? I would guess from the betting market

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.

[drfchound]

They also say “we understand”..

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

[Chris Black come back]

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?

[5minstogo]

Moore, Flitcroft, Appleton, Keane and Eustace.

[Alan Southstand]

On twitter someone reckons Harford and Hill.

[Jonathan]

Moore, Flitcroft, Appleton, Keane and Eustace.

Eustace would be a good candidate on the shortlist. Highly rated.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

It's quite impressive how little is known about who is and isn't interested, club very tight on that really.

[Jonathan]

Moore, Appleton, Flitcroft, Kitson and Hayrettin.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Appleton
Moore
Flitcroft

Billy Russell and Roy Keane? I would guess from the betting market

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.

Can’t paint a picture without any paint

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

Moore

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

[bigdonnybob]

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

[DonnyOsmond]

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.

[Chris Black come back]

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.

[IDM]

Yes the top women’s teams are professional, I believe.?

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

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.

[wing commander]

   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...

[DonnyOsmond]

I think the first one would need to be a success otherwise clubs could shy away from it for a while.

[IDM]

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.
