Only thing I could think of is that the person they want needs a visa/work permit so we are holding off the announcement until then but then surely the media would be running with a name? 2 Link to comment

You'd have thought there would be some leaks. Maybe they want to announce a technical director and a manager at the same time? Would be too sensible though. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Let's face it, Dave is completely hopeless. It will be a miracle if its someone inspiring. 90% of managers are complete chancers and the other 10% are unlikely to want to be associated with him. 2 Link to comment

Pretty sure I read somewhere that they aren’t even going to start looking for a TD until the manager is sorted. Link to comment
Dandys1983 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Im still sticking with what i was told by 2 people id class as ITK that its a non uk manager. 4 Link to comment

Big Hat Logan Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Why are people so sure any manager with half a brain would want this job? Apart from the Cormack issue it’s hardly an exciting prospect Link to comment

I'm not saying anything's happening, thats just my opinion that leven might get the job, but i still believe in what i was told it will be a non uk based manager, oh ands I'm not Daisy either thats an insult 1 Link to comment

Agreed. Press are useless enough in this country as it is. No chance they’ll have any decent sources overseas if it’s a man from Europe. Link to comment

That’s the hope I’m clinging to. That said, it’ll be some Austrian second division manager with 3 months experience as interim. Link to comment

And not have any qualms about printing it. Makes me think there is nothing to report. It’s all supposition. Link to comment

Would not be the first time the FMB have lied to us, and certainly won't be the last. Link to comment
ahead on alphabet Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 1 hour ago, Kiriakov33 said: Eh ? I never said they were a recruitment team. I said they would have been involved in the process. They may have created a profile for the role based on a number of factors then the FMB will try to identify managers who would fit. No that's right, I said they were not a recruitment team. In response to you saying you "Would like to see the criteria the German consultants used to get Darren Ferguson as the answer". Which I think would imply they were recruitment consultants.
