Gentleman Jim 0 Posted August 17, 2009 I almost begged in these Forums ages back not to hold interviews but to target your man and by legal avenues bust a gut to get him ! As I said that''s BIG club mentality !Those damned interviews just helped pick out the best orators, full of verbal football talent and devoid of football managerial ability.Peter Grant and Glenn Roeder could have talked themselves into any job of any kind, neither could have been selected on their managerial achievements. So fingers crossed we now get a man of some proven ability because we want him and not just because he''s available,and hopefully stop this remorseful parade of loser type people who have cost us dearly both financially and status-wise !

Canary02 III 0 Posted August 17, 2009 Totally agree Jim. All that happens when you advertise a position as we usually do is that you get unemployed managers who have failed elsewhere, men who have never managed before, or if you''re really lucky a current manager who is so unsettled at his current club that he offers his talents elsewhere without caring what his current club feel about it.A proper manager is busy managing.

Wandsworth Canary 0 Posted August 17, 2009 No need for interviews as we have interviewed every possible manager over the last 18 months. There is no one left to interview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonzey 0 Posted August 17, 2009 Did you know anyone can apply for the job, and they HAVE to send a response. It''s a great thing to have framed. Although if Peter Grant can get the job.............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great post Jim. Totally agree, but you seem to have missed the point that you aren''t allowed to post today without starting a totally unfounded rumour!
