Interviews have narrowed field

242

As had been widely reported, interviews are underway for several positions in the management team.  Feedback has been mixed, I understand all candidates did not convince they were required for the job.

While every agent in the game is throwing a name of two at the club, the field of serious candidates has narrowed from where we were a week ago.

My hunch, is that if the bookies favourite was getting the job, he would already be in place.

  1. Deila just moved jobs, could have been in the frame. Honourable man who quit as the performances were going backwards despite winning the league

  2. Postecoglou and Deila were similar that way ; perf leads to success vs win with tactics that avoid losses

     

     

    Mourinho and Moyes are examples of the latter and probably Strachan too

     

     

    Football players are malleable so i’m sure our squad can cope with any style; personally, I prefer the aesthetically pleasing footie

  3. Are we seriously considering giving a number 2 the number 1 position? No success history anywhere!Stop bending the knee Dermot to the City Group.Reach for into the front of your pants a take hold of those big Irish balls and realise your a man ffs.You need to appoint someone with a successful track record and make your own History

    Man City have 8 x asst managers listed

     

     

    I have no idea if they are presented in any ranking order.

     

     

    Rodolfo Borrell is 1st with Enzo Maresca 5th

     

     

    ———-

     

     

    Hearing a rumour Man City are about to employ yet another assistant manager.

     

     

    Aaron Aardvark is apparently jetting in next week.

     

     

    His arrival is expected to push Maresca down to 6th.

     

     

    6th ! Do we really want this guy?

    Aardvark never got a booking in his playing career because

     

     

    Aardvark never hurt nobody

    re Pauls’ comment

     

     

    ” I understand all candidates did not convince they were required for the job.”

     

     

    Think it makes sense if you replace the word ‘required’ with ‘ready’

    It is a Celtic blog yep

     

    And you are right using your guess as to who it is

     

    Your own view.we may be wrong.

     

     

    Not what the booki haver facts

     

    Not what daily meeja- which gets quoted and youv been on long enough to remember those links getting ridiculed.on these pages, not lazy journalism blah blah- long gone!

     

    Not the ‘I hear flatulence.

     

     

    Keep the flamethrower to the feet of those who make the decision,use that “expertise” to get the correct choice in soon.

     

    You and I are not ‘entitled’ fans as B78 unfairly smeared.we have no say in that but our arms will go around who is appointed

     

     

    This one is on Dermot,Micheal,Chris,Peter and the rest of the board.its there job.dae it.

     

    Get him started,let’s get it done let’s move out of uncertainty and move forward fiscally and in team.

     

    The spotlight is on them.Get it done.

     

    :-)

    Played against Moyes for St Pius when he was at Bearsden Academy …did not rate him then as a player despite the hype ( even then ) and don’t think he is the man for Celtic now …decent chap however 🍀

  11. Best post I’ve read all day teabhoy.just noticed turkeybhoy still talking alot a drivel.your better aff over there ffs 🤣

  12. “interviews are underway for several positions in the management team. Feedback has been mixed, I understand all candidates did not convince they were required for the job.”

     

    ———————————————

     

     

    What a reckon useless piece of evaluation is the interview. You might lear n a wee bit about the articulacy of a manager in an environment of gentle questioning but that won’t replicate a Press Conference with Orange pressmen or even a hostile Car Park (pitchforks optional).

     

     

    But it tells you nothing of how the man on the other side commands a dressing room, runs a football coaching session, sets out a team or even negotiates with a Board or CEO. You just hear a snow job of how he intends to improve your team. Job goes to the silvers tongue.

     

     

    And then, there’s the people on the interview side. Are they qualified to evaluate the guy. WHo’s the one on the other side with experience of running a football team, a coaching session with players, a coaching policy launch with coach assistants?

     

     

    Who’s seen him walking the walk and actually running a team? running a session? Dealing with an unruly player?

     

     

    I have seen some real inadequates breeze through an interview process. The interview is as useful in evaluating coaching ability as is a horoscope.

     

     

    Are any of them Capricorns csc

    Just to put it all into perspective.

     

     

    If Ange was descended from the glorious, most recent, 1000 year history of England, he’d be a Plantagenet for sure. Teach us all a lesson (glad I’m still a jacobite).

     

     

    Of course, the above pales into insignificance when memories of the Great Tea Trolley Disaster of ’67 overwhelm me (30 years of office life looking for a laugh at lunchtime).

     

     

    Nevertheless, some man for one man.

    31003- Bilic comes with an entourage of thousands, I think every physo has a personal masseuse….

  15. no way we should be appointing anyone’s lackie especially his fifth assistant as our manager.

  16. Evening all.

    Lol.

     

     

    Heard rumours he was a decent player but not personally aware.

     

     

    I just assumed he was Dutch with that name.

     

     

    Good coaches the Dutch 🤦🤔

     

     

     

    How long can this foolishness continue?

    I tend to agree, certainly formal interviews are if little use. I don’t think for a second Ange went through an interview. Informal talks certainly but by that stage yku really should have most of your background checks and analysis done.

     

     

    Asking a man like Rodgers with his record to interview for the job is like asking Gordon Ramsey to inteview as head chef in my local.

  19. Knutsack for me.

     

    Oh sorry,I was thinking of Brian F.Now theres a proper Knutsack.

    Ange Postecoglu currently blowing smoke up Spurs fans arses on social media.

     

     

    —-

     

     

    If he does well, next summer, Spurs quick news will be full of posters telling themselves that there’s no way he’s going to Liverpool, he’s a project of work to finish off etc

  21. Guys here don’t rate our expertise in interviewing & assessment skills.

     

    Last time out it produced Howe & runner up Ange.

     

     

    If the current process comes close to that, I for one will be well satisfied.

    After a few days of semi-intelligent discourse and conjecture, it appears silly-season is upon us.

    The desire to throw good money after bad always elevates when public or other people’s money is involved.

     

     

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65828702

     

     

    It’s a 5h1thole. Bulldoze it.

     

     

    Unless Willie Haughey steps in again of course.

     

     

    Over to you my Lord.

  26. Just in case anyone is a bit spooked about Maresca being 6th or 7th in the Man City pecking order, I found the Posts about it a bit odd that there would be Am1, Am2 Am3 etc so went to the Man City Official Site to check,

     

    Sure enough there are about 8 Assistant Managers listed & Maresca is down the list but only because they are all listed in alphabetical order,

     

     

    So Borrell is assumed to be No 2 to Pep simply because his name starts with a B.
