According to the BEP anyway..

Apparrently two of the following are coming back for final interview;

Mark Robins, Dave Jones, Sean O'Driscoll, Derek McInnes and John Hughes.

Thoughts?

McInnes, Jones, O'Driscoll, Robins and Hughes in that order for me.
 
Rumours that are apparently coming from the club indicates that they may have their choice signed today though no word (if true) whether a public announcement would be made straight away.

When the club annouced that Millened had beeen let go they stated who would be taking training but never stated who would be in charge for our next game so I am taking that as they hope to have someone in post before Saturday. If not hopefully they will make an annoucement that Walsh will take charge of the game as even though it is at reserve level maining he has the most experience at managing a team and he produces great results.
 
The more I read about McInees, the more impressed I am. The negative side to this is the compensation we would need to pay and typically when you have to pay to get someone's contract torn up, you feel obliged to give them a long contract. of course that didn't hold true for Milly - why on earth he was signed for 3 years is beyond me.

I like the way O'Driscoll plays but no success to really speak of.

Robins - obviously talented and maybe after seeing SAF manage at Utd, he may have an insight into the qualities needed to be a success.

I still see Jones as the likely manager - logistically makes sense, no compensation due and has cut the cloth in the Championship.

Exciting few days coming up!
 
Millen already had signed a 3 year contract as assistant to Coppel, when Coppel left the board just changed his title from Assist to manager.

I just HOPE that the board this time, is going for a manager not only to get us out of the mire, but one that will progress us in the future.
I can't say I'm that excited about the names that are in the frame, but we shall see.
 
It takes time to get a good man in - OR DOES IT.

If they were true decision makers they would know the right man and go and get him. Where's the ambition ? To hell with an extra few grand a week for salary, that kind of money pales compared with L1 football.
Sextone says 'Steve will be back from England U21 duty for this w/e'.
He deliberately mentions 'England U21 duty' because that impresses the fool.
Means bu**er all to me. The England U21 'lot' are and have been absolutely useless.

Losing faith by the day with the board and Sextone.

Always been the same Redprint, I don't know why but I think we will always be a small club that lacks ambition.
I though all that had changed when SL came on the scene, but I have a bad feeling he's got fed up with it...
Bit doom & gloom I know.....maybe Colin has a surprise for us, maybe if McInnes (if he's appointed) is like a Paul Lambert we might be ok !!!!!!!!!
Don't hold your breath though!!!!
 
well perhaps we have our manager ready to be signed up BUT... other offers are coming in for him from other clubs, so perhaps were playing the waiting game and were waiting for him to say no........ or perhaps sextoy is trying to hagle the managers wage down, cheap ****
 
If it's someone in a job, like McInnes, then compensation needs to be sorted out. This can take time.
Do you just want our board to roll over and have our tummies tickled - we need to get the best man for the right price.
