Whether our chairman gets on with someone shouldn’t be high up in the criteria

It would be pretty high up in the criteria for a senior management role in every other company.

No chairman is going to appoint someone he doesn't like to a position with the responsibility for this level of spending and performance, anywhere, ever.

Does a chairman of a football club really do that much? Other than chair meetings?
I’d imagine gavin and TB wouldn’t allow blunt to poo poo a manager just because he doesn’t like him.

I think the only person suggesting that DB has a problem with a managerial candidate is you. Not sure where you’ve got that from.

Keith Hill anyone?

Only on a short term contract at Tranmere until the end of the season.

I'm sure Tyke will have a view!

No please not Keith!!

I'm inclined to agree. Always comes across as someone who'd sell you a car where the front and back ends didn't start out together.

Quite like the idea of Neil Harris of those mentioned recently.

Look at what Lee Johnson has gone and done at Sunderland, an appointment of that style would be good. A younger guy with plenty of experience.

[Upton Rover]

Don’t think the board felt it was the right time to push for promotion after DM left, because I am sure any club in our league position when DM did depart, they would have appointed a manager straight away like any normal club would have done so.
I still can’t get my head around why it takes the board weeks/months to appoint a manager, however good news.

[Padge_DRFC]

They got this one wrong. It happens in life. They've now realised that and doing something about it at least. Very annoying as what was a great season potentially gone now.

They did - they appointed AB until the end of the season...... and I dare say if we had got promoted, they would have extended it.

[nortikorner]

David Blunt as only the casting vote if its a draw (as Chairman)

I can see the logic behind it to be fair. They were clearly aiming for minimum disruption and wanted to just get someone in who knows the players and can get to work from day one. Obviously it didn't work out like that but I think most of us were hopeful it would at the time.

[ravenrover]

I wonder if this thread should now go into the rumours section? There are bound to be loads of speculation and names being bandied about most if not all with no substance behind them JMHO

[Colin C No.3]

If we can't get Stendel, I hope Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink comes to The Keepmoat tonight, looks around at the stadium, the dressing rooms, the facilities & if on this occasion the team can put on a performance, he might just think on the bus home to Burton 'Mmm, I think I could do something at that club'.

[Herbert Anchovy]

The last 2 Managers appointed by the board were tapped up by 2 so called ‘bigger clubs’. That tells me that the board know what they’re doing when it comes to choosing Managers. I’m happy to let them get on with it.

[godlike1]

How much money on someone finding fault with whoever the club choose?

It’s been suggested earlier in the thread, not by me.

I think you need to read the thread again, nobody mentioned the Chairman at all, just you.

[drfc1951]

Someone mentioned Butler  having a fall out with Wellens.

[SoundbiteBarmyArmy]

If I had to give a name right now as to who I think would apply, be a suitable candidate and stand a good chance of getting the job; I'd say Neil Harris.

Been thinking it'll be someone like him for the past few days now and as he has been mentioned on this thread, I think it makes sense for the board: young, Championship experience, not in work.

[Pancho Regan]

Are you sure you're not getting confused with Strictly Come Dancing?

Stendel with AB as his assistant.

What about Paul Heckingbottom? Will possibly be out of work soon if not retained by Sheff Utd in some capacity and has plenty of experience.

This will no doubt change a million times in the next 3 weeks but from just those names I'd only take Richie Wellens, Daniel Stendel or Paul Tisdale. Nigel Clough would fit us well too, who isn't on the list.

[normal rules]

Out of interest , how have bookies odds compared with reality in our recent managerial appointments ?

[normal rules]

Interesting to see copps on there. He has no interest in coaching/ managing by all accounts.

[GazLaz]

Phil Parkinson is someone who is likely to apply.

can’t see tisdale getting it with him only just taking on an advisory role at colchester

[normal rules]

Roy Keane. Now that would be interesting. I love listening to his post match analysis. He would not suffer fools............

He always seems to be in the betting, didn't he shoot to one of the favourites when we appointed DM?

That’s only till the end of the season.
