I should have read this. Says he is STILL compiling a short list, because new people apply everyday. So, obviously we're nowhere near appointing anyone. How many weeks on Friday since KB's "resignation", is it three?

Two isn't it?Though it feels like longer.

FFS People applying now should seriously not be considered, the job has been available for almost 2 weeks, and was highly likely to be avaialable for about 2 weeks before that.

Anyone serious about the job would not be waiting until now to get their CV and application in.

Sort it out Ron

So, while Rome burns, Nero watches and scribbles down some options to mill over to sort the matter out. What's the urgency?

 

[Chairman Trigg]

At this rate, by the time he gets appointed he'll be planning for league2

No rush Ron...

 

[Sunnyshrimper]

Does anybody have insight into who’s on this shortlist? (whittled down from a long list by Uncle Ron). Gary Waddock is certainly not the one for me. There is no magic formula for choosing and there is in my opinion far too great a focus on prior management experience & club affiliation. The most important aspect is who can best demonstrate an ability to get this group playing as a hard working, organised, cohesive and hard to beat team, with the vision and intent to stop the rot by changing the mentality and instilling belief so we can climb the league. So much of what we are missing is not football related, it’s basics that do not require talent, then you build from that solid base. I don’t feel we’ve geneuinely had that since probably 3 months prior to Phil Brown leaving. Sol Campbell, Kevin Nolan & Adam Barrett have to be three to be given the opportunity to interview at the very least, not a selection of usual merry go round journeyman managers, who are more experienced yet poor performing number ones

Who say Sol or Adam want the job?

 

[Sunnyshrimper]

Who say Sol or Adam want the job?

I appreciate some names mentioned are probably out reach however I would not say Sol or Adam fall into that category. So who says they have not - I’ve not heard from either regarding it. Best approach must be to look at all the potential candidates and then whittle them down on suitability unless they rule themselves out I.e Parkinson

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Who say Sol or Adam want the job?

Sol is keen to prove himself as a manager and we'd be a step up from Macclesfield. He's a Londoner so it would have geographical appeal too. I'm sure he'd jump at the chance.

It will take a while but it will sink in with folk on here

 

[IloveShrimp]

I think the suggestion by Bond re it will take several transfer windows to sort the squad out looks be coming true.

Perhaps he was suggesting that there may be one or more bad apples influencing others and / or creating poor relationships between players?
