Its not really mate and I'm sick to the back teeth of seeing it written and spoken about across multiple forums and Rangers supporters conversations as if its a thing. It's not! Here's one example. I don't think the current Everton manager is a particularly great manager but he has a track record of stabilising clubs he's been in charge of and making them very difficult to beat... up to a point. Couple that to the fact, regardless of how short it was, that he has been the England national team coach. His record and history has been written in countless blogs, forums and wiki's across the stat gathering world. Any board room thinking of employing the chap does not need to ask him to submit an application/CV. They already know what he brings if they chose to appoint him. This is the entertainments business, its sport related, but its entertainment none the less and this is the issue I have with this job application talk nonsense. You don't ask an Elvis, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Diana Ross, Elton John, Barry Manilow etc etc etc to submit an application and CV to play in residence in a Vegas venue. You already know what they bring so you approach them/their people and work out the details of a contract and hey presto as if by David Copperfield magic there they are in residence in a Vegas venue! Murray was an arsehole and a rip off merchant but everyone can see he had an understanding of the entertainment industry he was operating in. The current board and the chairman have not got the slightest clue about the industry or how to deal with it because they for the most part are dressed up accountants!

Rousseau 9,427 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The DoF should be lining up potential managers from now on; from a list that is cultivated to suit the way we want to play. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooponthewing 1,139 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) There were suggestions that Allen was keen and on Steve McLaren previously? I would hope he is up there with a few others to be approached? He is one of the names that leave me optimistic going forward. FDB would be a real coup if we could get him also?

Folk who've worked in the game know he's been away from Vegas for a few years but is set to return to residence some time in 2018. To add a little more flesh to the bones in his case its slightly different as he's been there and done it already and is very well regarded. He and his people are the ones conducting the operation, deciding on suitable venues, show type 4-5 shows per week etc rather than being approached. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I would hope any manager we appoint going forward would be headhunted by the club. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,718 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I hope the board are seeking advice from the relevant people. We're in last chance saloon this time (in terms of stopping that lot doing 10). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
