redlandrebel Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Update from CS - http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10327~2475070,00.html Should know by Tues / Weds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br1stolCityBoy Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 CS mentioned 5 or 6...I found that a little strange, surely it's either one or the other. Perhaps they are making an enquiry for someone out the betting favourites....i.e Martin O'Neil...Well we can dream can't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lita For Congo Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'll keep my champagne on ice. He wouldn't be as bad an appointment as McLaren or Robins though, so I reserve the celebration. I seriously hope Dave Jones or Billy Davies are one of those two with the 2nd round, Just a hunch, but i dont think Davies has applied. CS said he wss a little suprised 1 or 2 hadn't applied.

Matty-H Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 How do you know that? Because CS has just said we have not approached or spoken to anyone who is currently in work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I still cant get over why every man and his dog wants this McFlurry fella? He hasn't been mentioned on here ever sonce I've been on here and now he's like the Godfather of Championship football.... We need someone who knows the league, knows the players he needs to compete in the league. This can either be DJ or BD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to start somewhere just like Paul Lambert and Gus Poyet did also McInnes has played in England quite a bit. The reason people like him is because he's clearly a talented manager.

TRL Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Between 5 and 6 people? 5 1\2 well that suggests a pint sizer as the 1/2 a person. So Billy is being interviewed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-H Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Thats not exactly what he said. It's close enough. If you see it as a veiled disguise then fair enough. Personally I see it for what was suggested. We haven't spoken to him. That's not to say we won't, although I'm hoping it stays that way. Having said that if it were McInnes or Robins I'd rather have McInnes. A sorry state of affairs things would be, none the less, but at least he may have something about him as opposed to Robins who has proved he does not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I think if Colin said we have approached someone in a job, we would all know that would be McInnes as he is only manager talked about who isn't out of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Michael Laudrup might be a long shot. heard it here first. They did pop off to Amserdam did they not? from there they could have met someone, flown on to mallorca or up to denmark or anywhere. Laudrup has a pretty decent record and only recently resigned as manager of Real Mallorca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's so talented why has nobody heard of him until last week? Of course you need someone who knows the league, have you seen the position we're in?

Not formally - sounds like a phone call to let the club (st johnstone hopefully) know we are speaking to their manager We dont need to do anything formally until we decided who we want.

Of course you need someone who knows the league, have you seen the position we're in? He was linked with alot of jobs last season, West Brom and Burnley to name a few.. he turned them down to stay at St Johnstone. Were bottom of the league but there is another 36 games.. You dont go out and there give someone the job based on them knowing the division, we want someone who is ambitious and can get the best out of our players.

bcfcnick Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Definitely one or more of the candidates are in jobs hence CS's comment ' some of these could be with Clubs already' and the reference to 'not formally' approaching their clubs.

Thats how I read it anyway. You can't let them know, you have to ask permission or it's illegal tapping up. I've absolutely no inside info on this, but if I had to guess the two invited back for second interviews I would go for Jones and Robins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Yes, the St Johnstone chairmen has said he will allow McInnes to hold talks with us then if he feels it's a move he wants we will have to agree compensation after. I think the two invited back will be Robins and McInnes, I just feel Jones wont be able to agree terms or he'll decide he wants to wait a little longer as alot of jobs will be available around christmas.

Because they cant have someone in for 1st interview if they have not asked that managers club permission to speak to him?? Depends on what a "1st interview" consists of. It could just be an informal meeting in a hotel with the blessing of the opposing chairman. There'd be no point messing around agreeing compo for a manager before you've spoken to him- you might not like, he might not like you I have to say, while i think McInnes is the best choice, many have perhaps gone a touch overboard. I want him because the guy is used to winning and making average players play well, but actually the main reason i want him is because Robins plays poor football, Jones' acheievements have been massively overstated and he's never had to take a club off the foot of the Championship table and O'Driscoll was sacked after not winning in 17 games or similar so may have lost his touch. McInnes is as much a good option because the others are flawed as he is on his own merits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 He said the last will be today. It's not completely clear as he said regarding the initial 5 or 6 "half way there" now & "almost all the way there on Friday" (perhaps the interview was done yesterday) & "a few things to check up on Monday." I guess with these situations things are never completely straightforward but it looks like they will be "grilling" two candidates early next week and as long as one impresses and wants the job then we'll hear mid to late next week.

Listened to it again earlier and yeah your right. More than half interviewed - most done by today - a decision monday night on the final two. This tells me interview today and one monday.

Show Me The Money! Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Who do people think will be on the interviewing panel? CS states that the interviewing panel has lots of experience. If the panel is made up of mainly board members I sincerley doubt that. Especially football wise. We ain't interviewing the next sales manager.

I've absolutely no inside info on this, but if I had to guess the two invited back for second interviews I would go for Jones and Robins. Actually, you should read that statement from CS again; They have not whittled it down to 2 yet,that will not happen until early next week. This is where they are right now and i quote:- "We've a small panel doing the interviews, which are in-depth. By close of play on Friday we'll probably have completed the first stage with the five or six selected managers. So as of NOW that suggests the list is far bigger than 5 or 6, will not be down to that number until friday and not down to 2 until early next week. I would rather take it from CS than anywhere else as reliable information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
