How does that work then? Has KLD told him Speakman's off and asked who he thinks would be good? Otherwise this is the tail wagging the dog- the DoF should be selecting the coach, not vice versa.
The only FACT I know is we have spanked off 3 choices, who gets it now is anyone's guess, don't bet on anyone at the minute.
I once interviewed loads of people for a job in Tynemouth ... ... I gave it to the person who was the cousin of Ray Laidlaw, the drummer from Lindisfarne, purely because of that ... ... he was my original choice but nowhere near as qualified as the other candidates
I'd guess that it depends on which one is in post. You don't want to bring in someone who can't work with who's already here when it so crucial for them to be on the same page . Those roles should be virtually equal for the system to work.
I once interviewed a lad and asked if he was Sunderland or Newcastle. When he answered Sunderland I shook his hand and asked when he could start. Took about 90 seconds. Got my arse reamed by my Hartlepool boss but it was so worth it.
Really? Would you ever be able to go interview for a job and say "I want you to bring X in to be my boss"?
