City oz Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 3 hours ago, Onthefence said: That's an interesting question - I was only thinking the same myself. Do they follow the same process as other corporates, i'm assuming they must shortlist from all the applications they recieve (in whatever guise that takes - does an interested potential manager send in his CV or get his agent to do it?). How many would they normally interview for example? It would be really interesting to know. Don’t dream. Football is different and not a comparison to normal corporate policies or procedures. I could send a CV even and pretend S$#T DH will be in the position for the next few weeks so dont expect another appointment in the next few days.

Cotts was sacked on January 14. LJ was appointed 6 Feb. There was a lot of panic at the time about not having a permanent manager in place for the end of the transfer window. EDIT: SOD to Cotts was only five days though. Ha ha, that was the one I was thinking of having almost completely erased the LJ experiment from my mind... Who knows what we'll end up with this time, but with Lansdown senior picking I'm not sure I've much confidence.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's top level sport, identify the best man for your club ( or project as it's now called) and sell the club to them. Do we really think Jürgen sent a CV and letter to Liverpool and sat there in his best suit being asked " So Jürgen - is it ok to call you Jürgen? - can you tell us a about a problem that you have encountered in your workplace affecting the business - how did you solve it, what tools you used and what corrective action you took to ensure the problem didn't reoccur? Feel free to use the whiteboard and your tablet to show your work." What for example is Jon Lansdown going to ask Steven Gerrard Klopp went to a meeting with the owners in New York. He wore a suit but no tie, just an open neck shirt. He'd already turned down approaches from Spurs and Man Ure in previous seasons. Liverpool had already done all the due diligence they required and identified him as the man they wanted. I'm hoping City would do similar but I'm fearing that may not be the case going on previous appointments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: SOD to Cotts was only five days though. It took so long to appoint LJ because as soon as Cotts was sacked Captain Bullshit came in and carried out an extensive appraisal of all the young up and coming coaches in the country. No stone,rock, or pebble was unturned and every pond,river, and lake was extensively fished to ensure the talent pool was comprehensively searched. The results were analysed, appraised, ....contacts were spoken to and the one coach that came out top of every graph, chart, and list was LJ according to the cap'n. He then recommend him to SL. Hence the 19 days. The pursuit of excellence cannot be rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can shortlist people on reputation, maybe, but then you have to find out whether they can work within the framework/budget etc on offer. I know this is players, not managers but Alan Simonsen thought he signed for Bobby Charlton at Man Utd, not Charlton Athletic....and AC Milan didn’t realise Luther Blissett was black! 4 hours ago, Clevedon Red said: Give me an example of a time when...........

Mendip City Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 6 hours ago, Sir Geoff said: Amazes me that Ashton hasn’t had a couple of suitable candidates lined up since early January. It was pretty obvious that something was badly wrong around the time of the Shrewsbury matches and that he would have to find a replacement before July (thinking pre pandemic). They obviously did when Cotts left. I genuinely think this time they believed their own hype.... that Lee would be here forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayOutWest Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I hope it's a tough process. Bringing in a consultant (experienced ex manager) would also be a consideration to oversea the operation. Just because you shortlist 3 or 4 should not give them an easy ride. I said in a previous post I would want the following 1. Complete break down of squad. Players strengths weakness. Best positions and what you would coach them on in priority. 2. Complete break down of several of our games. Tactics and setup etc 3. Complete break down of 3 or 4 championship teams. Tactics setup 4. Understanding of our project. How it would effect you. How you can add value to that. 5. Identify transfer targets. 6. Short term goals (1-2 seasons,) 7. Long term goal. (3-4 seasons) Something along those lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
