McCan was an unproven manger when he was appointed. Flitcroft has managed over 300 games.Baldwin has started that a number of high quality candidates had applied this time. Idd say a large number of people would argue with good reason that Flitcroft is not in the high quality Category

If you had a chat with my Mansfield supporting friends, Jon, you may want to take a different view on Flitcroft.
Caldwell was a red herring thrown in by the club.

For better or for worse? Because he wouldn’t be my choice.

We would be in league 2 now if caudwell got the job

We would be in league 2 now if caudwell got the job To suggest that it's all about the interview would be grossly unfair on the board, and certainly on Gavin whose put a lot of effort into making sure the short list has the right candidates on it. The amount of background checks, due diligence and personal recommendation that has gone into the process cannot be underestimated. I've mentioned this process before on other posts, it's very detailed and thorough.

Appleton odds dropping nicely. My guess the shortlist is: Moore Flitcroft Appleton KeanePretty solid.
John Eustace popped up out of nowhere.

Flitcroft is clearly the least favoured, but even then it’s not like his record is hopeless. It doesn’t look good that he was sacked by Mansfield, obviously, but essentially it was for delivering the equivalent of what McCann achieved here. I’d much rather have Moore though. Or Appleton.

I said on another thread it’s a testament to the club. I included Keane because someone told me he had applied a while ago through after getting suggested from Mcsheffrey. I dismissed it at first but then he has been in la manga with the squad this week which adds weight to that story.

Appleton now 2nd fav ahead of Moore
