New manager speculation / rumours thread

[The Bloop]

Re: New Manager recruitment process in place

At least there shouldn't be any duds on the shortlist.
The only duds at that stage will be the ones conducting the interviews, with the successful candidate having to work under them, rather than a Sports Director or DofF.

Am I being too critical?

Re: New Manager recruitment process in place

So no DOF then.

Re: Manager Linked -Richie Wellens

In my dreams I get to pick the manager and my current short-list - all to be interviewed by me - has 4 names on it:

Richie Wellens
Dave Challinor
Nathan Jones
Ryan Giggs

And 1 of those has to be our new manager. No one else!

Looking at track records achieving lower-league promotions , with comparatively modest budgets, it has to be Challinor for me.

Re: Manager Linked -Richie Wellens

With the short list to be next week I'd say it's unlikely to include those in work.

Re: New Manager recruitment process in place

It should be obvious we need more expertise at board level or in senior roles at the club. Not just hiring them in for a one off.

Get them into the club and then we won't need to rent people to draw up shortlists.

The added benefit of they can help the club day to day, full time. All for a fraction of Ramsey's reported wage ffs.

Going from what dalman says it seems tan is still happy with the status quo :facepalm:

He mentions it would be nice to have these people on board, surely it's clearly essential. Christ this is painful.

Reading up a little about Challinor's teams and they seem to be very well coached. He could be exactly what we need.
Could be hard to get him here though.

Oh god! It’s going to be Gerrard.

Re: New Manager recruitment process in place

It's really not looking good and all looking so predictable. Review period , short list , they'd like someone with football knowledge on board (but not happening). Hiring outside help to help Dalman and Chesterfield (wasn't he at Barry Town not long ago) and then Tan has to approve.

Hopefully someone in by the end of the month.

What could possibly go wrong?

May as well employ Purse now than wait until November.🤣🤣🤣

Yep, in depth interview process and then we hire the assistant. We have seen this before.

My first thought, the agency have Gerrard as a client and now they bringing in this guy whose worked with Gerrard at Rangers and Saudi.

I really hope it’s not tho. Would be a typical city appointment, paying for a future for the wrong person then going cheap with their replacement.

Re: New Manager recruitment process in place

A month to come up with an appointment.

A month!


Well-run clubs have a contingency plan in place long before a managerial change happens.

What a shocking way to run a multi-million pound business.

"by the end of the month"

"by the end of the month"

It'll be approx a month since our last game against Norwich and over a month since we were relegated.

That’s the worry

Re: New Manager recruitment process in place

Glad to see Gav Chesterfield involved, he knows his football

I know someone who worked with Mark at Rangers ( he is a academy coach ) and he messaged me earlier to say " he won't steer you wrong " ( then explained he worked with him etc etc )
