buster. 4,808 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Is there a prepared contingency basket to move the eggs to ? ... Process should have that slightly shorter, short-list on top of the table. Same type of appointment would see uninspiring names left that the support wouldn't be keen on, eg. Tommy Wright. DK has already said the board hadn't fancied those currently out of contract, eg. Eck. A real blow to the board. One thing they shouldn't do is make a knee jerk appt. on the back of this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 IMO, you don't offer the job to someone unless you know they want it. McInnes may be a bottler but we should have found that out before waiting six weeks to make a public fool of ourselves. Only excuse here for the board is if he reneged on a private agreement to join us. We didn't offer him the job though. We asked permission to speak to him - two very different things. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't speak to the manager of a rival club who want £1m compensation if you're not offering him the job. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we approach several options, then talk to them to arrive at the best candidate. We didn't even talk to DM, and it wasn't even Rangers that released that information. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're kidding ourselves on if we don't think back channels are used before payers and staff are approached. After six weeks I don't think I'm being unkind by offering strong criticism. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
les186 271 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 We didn't offer him the job though. We asked permission to speak to him - two very different things. Where's the disagree button. You don't ask permission to speak to a candidate after 6 weeks deliberation unless you have decided he is the preferred candidate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timescale is annoying, but I'm content if it's part of a process. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,404 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) I still say it would have been foolish of the board to only interview one candidate.I would have expected 2 or 3 to be taken to interview stage, and going by Kings words these would most likely be in a job. We are only hearing about DM coz that is all the Scottish Media have been focusing on. And Aberdeen are the only Club to release that fact. Nothing untoward there...

Completely disagree. Of course you can speak to the manager of a rival club without necessarily offering him the job - its part of the recruitment process. Regardless........ how could we offer him the job when we had been refused permission to speak to him ?? Just because they want 1 million compensation doesn't mean that you have to offer him the job. Indeed, given the club said that the candidates they were interested in were all currently employed I would argue that it would be negligent of the Board to basically say "lets pick one and go with him" instead of asking permission to speak with 3 or 4 currently employed managers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
