I imagine it has been agreed or the short list has been whittled down further. Will take time to be announced and has to be inline with what has been agreed with Webber as well.

The result of the Rule 9 Waiver shareholder vote, plus a few others, will be announced at the club's General Meeting tonight - kick off 6pm. We'll be refreshing the club's X feed regularly for the result as no press invited. If things do not go the way the Board expect it might delay other announcements, planned or not.

Connor Southwell ruled out Newman and also Leigh Bromby in the pink'un Q&A this afternoon. Here is his response to a question on whether it was Newman: Hi Dave. Thank you very much. We're getting there, is the answer. It won't be Rob Newman, who I've seen mentioned in various places. He isn't on their shortlist of candidates. You can also put a line through Leigh Bromby, who has been mentioned in other spaces. They are getting closer and it wouldn't surprise me if we saw some movement on that front pretty soon. Still a few bits and bobs to work out, though. But they've identified their final candidates and are working towards an appointment soon. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if the club has any sense, which hasn't always ben evident during this process, it would probably steer well clear of any comments about how the vote might go.

Capt. Pants 4,276 Posted October 3, 2023 Webber is already working off his notice until March? If there is a notice period for his successor then we could have a spell where we have no DoF otherthan Adams. Reading some of the stuff on the MA thread I'm more concerned about the state of the club he's leaving it in tbh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,297 Posted October 4, 2023 6 hours ago, Sean said: Nick Cox, head of man utds academy is one of two candidates Has credentials for sure, but would seem an appointment very much focused on utilising the academy and less on external transfer markets? In Webbers hay day, we balanced both to excellent effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,276 Posted October 4, 2023 Cox would be an interesting appointment in view of his relative lack of experience in anything otherthan developing young players. If I'm honest I'm struggling with what the role entails and how the club transitions from Webber to a new Dof amidst the backdrop of a new owner in the background with someone like Cox appointed. I'm not saying he wouldn't be successful but it's not what I was expecting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying he wouldn't be successful but it's not what I was expecting. In the interview in the link it says he did just about every job at Watford. He is on LinkedIn so if anyone is on that forum it would be good to know what he has to say about himself. I'm like you though, I don't know what the structure is or what we're looking for. But I am pretty certain that we wouldn't be looking for someone to do football and finance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha. Nothing would surprise me but I think Zoe did say it would be an outside appointment. Some people are better at being number two, maybe Adams prefers that role.

But I am pretty certain that we wouldn't be looking for someone to do football and finance. That interview is about his job as academy chief, so he is going to stress his experience of working with young players. It doesn't mean he can't cope with the much broader role of DoF. It won't be Adams and apparently not Newman either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
