Title: Manager short list?
Post by: altrincham on May 18, 2011, 12:58:55 PM
Will the club let us know the list when they have it?

I doubt it, wouldn't be very professional. Apparently there's 9 names on there. Anyone care to guess?

theyve shortlisted nine - and i dont think so, as if theyve already got a job - and not told their club - it could be highly embaressing for them

Unless something leaks to the press, I cannot see the club volunteering any such information. I think they would ideally like it to remain completely unknown right until the point where the new manager is unveiled.

I reckon it will be next week before that happens.

I agree, nothing will be said until we have someone appointed, its best that way.

What does my head in is the amount of negative posts re. certain potential managerial applicants. I think that Sammy Mc, GH and Andy Preece (that's from the top of my head) have all been completely torn apart on this forum. Not sure this is very constructive, as one of them may very well get appointed!

You may not feel it's constructive but, as has been said on many other threads in connection with many topics, this is a forum for Alty fans and we're all entitled to our opinions.
I for one think that the appointment of any of those three (for differing reasons) would not be a step in the right direction - and actually could be a huge mistake.

Exactly, nothing nasty's been written, just different thoughts on whether or not they'll be suitable as Alty managers. In any case, its actually quite a good gauge for the board to look at the feelings of supporters towards the various candidates.

Can you imagine if we did publish the shortlist on here for people to rip to shreds.

"I don't like him because he once barged into my Auntie in Poundstretcher at Civic...and just tutted."

well if they do appoint preece or the cote they can hardly turn round and say "we thought it would be a popular choice with the fans so we didn't expect this negative reaction"

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but honestly, to object to someone on the basis of an incident in the distant past involving a ball boy is just folly. I met Sammy Mc when I was a kid and can tell you that he is a decent guy.

Firstly, The ballboy incident is irrelevant now (in the greater scheme of things) - that's nothing to do with it
Secondly, He might have been a decent guy when you were a kid but, with no disrespect, that was a while ago
Thirdly, You can believe what you wish to in life and on this forum and, thank goodness, so can I

If Preece is under contract then we may not want to pay the compensation. A thought.

PS I always thought he was a decent manager.
