hopefully it just a interview only and he not offered job

Sky saying we’ve asked permission to speak to 5 managers who are already at clubs and also speaking to those not in employment like Stendel. Sounds like we are doing a thorough job and looking at plenty of candidates and hearing what their plans for the team would be. Which is reassuring.

Ainsworth was at Wimbledon in the Crazy Gang days and played under John Beck at Lincoln. Therefore, his footballing upbringing is very much grounded in a direct, high energy game.
When he was interviewed by Michael Calvin for the book 'Living on the Volcano' he admitted that he needed to be better tactically and technically and that he'd like to study the game more but didn't have time.
The one thing that does interest me about him is his approach to signing players. He sets a lot of store in understanding what their character is like, whether they can cope with the pressures of professional football. That is something that has been missing from our recruitment for a long time.
However, if people thought SAFC was too big for Jack Ross...

You're right, but Jack Ross told Stewart Donald that his style of play was attacking football, and the fans would love it. Lets hope SD has learned from this and does his own homework.

Ainsworth is not for me
Don't see anything in his record or style of play
nothing to indicate he could get us promoted let alone take us forward next season

I know we are in league one but we can do much better
Bit worried if this is the type of candidate the club are looking at

Same for me, if this is the calibre of managers he’s looking at then he’s gonna lose a lot of goodwill amongst fans and we will be in this **** division a long long time.
 
I was driving past the stadium about an hour ago, I work at One of the yards next to it ,and i think I seen Ainsworth but I’m not sure, so I didn’t want to say out but people have started talking about him being here, it looked like him but It was just a quick scan

Correct me if I've got this wrong, but I'm sure I remember a SKP interview where he said that in his last year he ''had no appetite for a relegation fight, and when the move came couldn't get down the motorway fast enough'' Obviously could have been misquoted/misinterpreted.

You could well be right as I had a lost interest by that time and could well have missed such an interview, my last memories of SKP was of him defending Ried against the mounting criticism, saying that he trusted the manager to get things right at the club, a fatal mistake in hindsight. To my mind he was sharp in the box but never the sharpest tool in the proverbial box, if you get my gist. <ok>

Stendel. He went to a club with the Barnsley fans to thank them for their support after he was sacked. Their fans are gutted about it.

The Barnsley fans loved him, and it looks like he enjoys a beer, he'll do for me :)

And hes just got promoted out of this ****ty league, a no brainer for me , hes available so no compo to pay. He will also have a vast knowledge of the German leagues so hopefully he could pick up some decent players.

His tool wasnt sharpest in another box ( of the human variety ). Didnt one of his fellow players 'have it in for him' so to speak?

I like the idea of a German coach and stendel seems canny.
Be fantastic if he did come with Phillips as assistant as mentioned.

Take the edge off the disappointment of the takeover if it has failed.

someone on the takeover thread has commented similarly (can’t remember who , or which page it’s on) . Having said that , I think that he died still has an affection for us .
