The managerial shortlist

[SW4Baggie]

Surely both parties check if the managerial team want the job and if so, can they commit? I agree things may happen, a change of heart or circumstances but it’s not filling me with much confidence that this is the slick operation some hope/ seem to think it is.

Normally the club just check with the applicant, he'll have spoken to his wanted staff. If they said no, it's on him, not the club, I also worry about a head coach who needs those particular staff with him tbh.

Sadly this does happen at times but isn't played out in the media because someone leaked it early as happened here. Seems others interviewed now don't want the job or we really weren't impressed so don't want to go back to them, so we're left scrabbling around.

Surely every manager wants people he can trust to work with him. I’m hoping we are not doing another Pepe Mel. Logic tells me we aren’t given the apparent circumstances of why the appointment fell through.

Sadly as I’m not a fan at all of TM, the possibility of him returning makes some sense but anything beyond a 6mths contract currently would be a poor indictment of the clubs recruitment processes or means TM has done well (play-offs) and is fit and healthy to continue.

I think the applicants will be made aware of the budgets they can use to bring their own coaching staff in... 

It may well also be that Wicky's number 2 decided he wasn't as up for it when it came to committing as he was when he first got the call. Folks change their mind.
