Manager selection update

[Jonathan]

Question for Silent Majority (if you can answer).

Did any women apply for the job ?

I can ask. It's not a question that's cropped up before.

Were the final first round interviews completed today?

Still ongoing.

Still ongoing as in into this evening or into another day? Are we still hoping to hold the second stage on Wednesday with a view to appointing this week?

[Frankie Rennie]

Got to be Parky surely. If you just want promotion but aren’t bothered about how it’s done, then he’s your man. Get your neck brace ready though and make sure you have lots of young players to rely on if things turn bad!!

Already stated it isn’t him

Shortly as on when he's got the time. Talk about demanding

Morning everyone,

Yesterdays interviews went really well, and the club have now identified 3 great candidates for the role. These will be interviewed on Thursday with a view to appoint asap after that. The plan is to appoint on Thursday if possible, but this may spill over into Friday.

My understanding is that one of those is more 'left field' than the other two, and that it will take some serious consideration as to determine which one will be the ideal candidate.

All applicants have also done an assessment of the existing playing squad, so once in post they would be making decisions on what the shape of the recruitment process looks like in very quick time.

Fingers crossed it all works out the way we would all like!

[SydneyRover]

Great, thanks for the update SM

[DearneValleyRover]

Cheers Martin

[GazLaz]

Wellens, Robinson, and another? Nicky Butt maybe?

I always feel a bit sorry for the guys who go the distance through the process, do all the background work on the club and the squad, and are then unsuccessful.

I know it's just the way the cookie crumbles, but they have my sympathy.

[DRNaith]

Wellens, Robinson, and another? Nicky Butt maybe?

I hope it's not Nicky Butt. It's bad enough losing managers once they've proven themselves with us, but Nicky Butt would definitely be head hunted once results go well for him.

[the vicar]

Is Nicky Butt a director of Salford if so he can’t manage another league club

[vaya]

I would be fine with us potentially appointing Leftfield.

Considerable boost to the half-time entertainment.

[DonnyOsmond]

Are the lads still training or are they done? Just wondering when the new manager would meet the squad?

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I wonder how left field? Female maybe?

Fingers crossed indeed SM.
It will be nice to feel that we are pushing on with the rebuild.
Something to look forward to I hope.

Brian Barry-Murphy just creeped into the bookies odds, I know nothing about his style of play at Rochdale.

[MachoMadness]

To be honest apart from Wellens and Robinson everyone is left field because nobody has a Scooby!

[Metalmicky]

Not saying he isn't a candidate - although he signed up for a new contract until June 2022 in March this year.

Hope the leftfield isnt Holloway.

"One candidate has not been listed on the betting market throughout the process.

Two are currently out of work with the other employed within the Football League."

[silent majority]

Hope the leftfield isnt Holloway.

Why would he be left field?

[CaptainStock]

As far as I'm aware he plays open, attractive football. The issue is you could score 3 in a game but fear you could concede 4. I might be wrong, not seen/read that much about them

[Prez]

Apologies Martin i always though left field meant strange, and Holloway is certainly strange.

My mistake.

[dickos1]

Keith hill been sacked today, and they’re in the playoffs
Makes you think he could’ve gone for an interview somewhere else behind tranmeres back and they’ve found out

[steve@dcfd]

I see we interviewed 5 because two that were in work dropped out before being interviewed. Therefore the one selected will have the full backing of the board and gone through the process.

[jamesrover17]

Couple dropped out of there own accord after the first round of interviews, their loss

Hoping that the left field one is a young up and comer, a Liam Rosenior type!

[MachoMadness]

Interesting that 2 elected to withdraw from consideration. Would those be the 2 who we delayed the process for?
