Ron speaks- appointment expected this week.

Forums New posts
Were Ron to write a book about his time as Chair, the last few years would make for very interesting reading. The spell from Chris Powell to the present especially so. If he detailed the various main managerial candidates and how he managed the processes and the twists and turns, it would be a fascinating account. But it will never happen, sadly, unless Chris Phillips can persuade Ron to allow Chris to ghost it.

A former agent who has tweeted plenty regarding us in the future, all that turned out to be true.

That said he could also be a massive bullshitter and know as much you or I.. I suppose we’ll find out sooner rather than later.

Cool. What true stuff has he said?
 
He tweeted that Fagan was in "very very advanced talks" to become our new boss back on 30th July.
The talks clearly weren't that advanced at that stage but I think generally speaking he's known to be a pretty accurate source.
 
Perhaps the delay was more around the team that would be surrounding Fagan. Calderwood has plenty of managerial experience, with promotion from both league 1 and 2. I know that was a long time ago, but he won't be the main man and it seems shrewd from Fagan if true. Maybe there are one or two others involved as well. Ron did say in the interview (paraphrasing here) that it's taken a little longer to interview and speak to the prospective coaching teams of candidates.

Just had a little look at Calderwood's career. He's had a fair few assistant manager jobs before, but interestingly has assisted Chris Hughton multiple times. I very much rate Hughton and he clearly values working with Colin, so if he is part of of Fagan's team then I'm impressed.

As much as I will be happy with Fagan it will be a little disappointing that it’s taken this long to make an internal appointment.

Echo this entirely.

Supposedly 80+ candidates, 38 days and counting and then we give it to the youth team manager... At least Colchester made their internal appointment within a couple of weeks!
