    That's some revelation!

    Whoops - I've managed to "un" into "and" there somehow. That would be something special, even for him!

    They reckon there are about 10 names on the shortlist now.
    About the only thing he's managed to achieve since being here 🤭

    Nearly there then 🤞

    Appointing someone is a two way process. That article reads as if Tan will not interview or more to the point the candidate will not get chance to talk to Tan. If I were a candidate, I wouldn’t consider any role without a direct one to one with VT

    It said the short short list of three has been sent Tan for a final decision. I didn't see anything to suggest how he will make the decision. I would expect he will talk to all three...or he might just forward it to his mum and let her choose.

    So the club are applauded for not rushing a decision. But, in reality, we have yet again got to wait fro the whims of one man, who hasn’t got a ****ing clue about football, to make a decision.

    Over and over and over and over the club sacrifices itself and basic logic to fall in line with this utter lunatic.

    Bonkers.

    Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

    It's left to Tan then.

    Only difference is we've actually paid people to come up with a short list.

    They may suprise us but it does look like the only difference is we are blowing money on getting a short list.

    It's behond laughable.

    Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

    It's beyond parody. In effect Tan's just asked for 3 names and he'll use his own judgement - not having met, spoken or interviewed any of them. I can only presume that Dalman and co. have made their preference known, it being highly unlikely that having gone through the whole process they haven't identified the best person for the job..

  11. #186

    Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

    There is no chance whatsoever that Tan will appoint anyone without speaking to them first. And there was never any chance whatsoever that Tan wasn’t going to have the final say on this appointment. Some are acting like they’re surprised by these revelations. What on earth did those people think was going to happen?!?

    And the alternative is Tan doesn’t have a say in the manager?

  13. #188

    Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

    1 I think it is fair to assume, that anyone on the shortlist would be considered a suitable candidate against the criteria set.
    2 It is likely that there is a recommendation of who to appoint out of the 3.
    3 It is likely that Tan will talk to the shortlist with at least one of the committee present.

    I wouldn't want him and id have him behind even Evatt and Buckingham but I'm suprised Edwards isn't being considered unless of course the bookies are way off. Id say he meets the criteria of a promotion out of work and cheap.

    The board have got so much wrong in recent years. Rushing into another managerial appointment for the sake of it would be absolutely idiotic. I'm glad they're taking the process seriously for once. It's vitally important that they get it right this time.
    And some of those linked have play-off finals to contemplate.

    End of May would not give Nathan Jones enough time to clear his desk.

    Names on the next manager betting odds list that are currently working:

    Graham Alexander Bradford City
    Aaron Ramsey Cardiff City
    Nathan Jones Charlton Athletic
    Grant McCann Doncaster Rovers
    Chris Hughton Ghana
    Richie Wellens Leyton Orient
    Gerhard Struber New York RB
    Darren Moore Port Vale
    Noel Hunt Reading
    Karl Robinson Salford City
    Stephen Bradley Shamrock Rovers
    Michael Appleton Shrewsbury Town
    Liam Rosenior Strasbourg
    Ian Holloway Swindon Town

    Why has Brian Barry Murphy just shot up to evens with the bookies?

    Think all four he names are pretty good candidates, who’s the “outsider” I wonder?

    looks like a Riza type of appointment, has been a coach at Leicester, though looks like he did well at Man City EDS, though Dai Hunt would have coped with the players he had, they really do have the best players and the deepest pool of them best players , but I guess people have to start the managerial journey somewhere

    Personally I wouldn't be taking a punt on someone whose biggest achievement is at academy level.

    Including relegation to league 2. That said, from what I've read they'd done well to stay up the previous couple of seasons.
