No nothing else.

You have convinced me that you are the right men to head up the selection process icon_wink.gif

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Quote: leigh-ratii "Once I heard the news that IM was leaving us, I was disappointed that the inevitable had eventually happened and then I worried about the next process, i.e. appointing a replacement. IMO we do not have anybody at the club capable of making an appointment. Tell me what the current directors know about such an important job and who is a good candidate and who isnt. P, but will not have sufficient knowledge or experience to go through the process of making a coaching appointment from advertising the post, drawing up a short list and then making the appointment. Also tell me which Director you could pass this important job to, or even as a unit. They havent got the capabilities or experience in my view to handle such an important appointment. I hope and prey that Ian will offer his expertese and experience to tell the Board what is needed and the correct procedure to follow. I have every faith in Ian, everything about the man is ideal and he will be sadly missed.'"


What ' Qualifications do you suggest somebody needs to appoint a coach ' ?

The elephant is so ugly he sleeps his head Machetes his bed Kevin Carter kaffir lover forever Some gentlemen prefer brunette's but that's just an arbitrary turn of events - Take me Home Defacing pictures of famous people on the train, standing by the monument just waiting for the rain I'm feeling..............like I'm leaving................everything behind:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3580.jpg



As Starbug said somewhere previously, lets get the next 2 or 3 matches out the way before we speculate or worry. I personally believe that experience in being involved as an employer and in that particular field are "experiences" needed rather than qualifications in appointing a coach. I cannot work a sewing machine very well but I am more than capable and have evidence to prove that I am capable of employing one to work at the highest level.

Thank you. Now these hardly challenged the worlds best lets say, so getting IM was kind of obvious one.. Even I could have made that decision. icon_smile.gif

Well that would have been myself , Ste , Phil and Darren

But it was Grainey that ' proclaimed ' icon_wink.gif

And it wasn't u 7 s

The problem you have is , what process do you go through ? , do you advertise and ask for applicants ? , or do you ring up who you consider potential targets ?

Each time you change coaches the circumstances are different , with Tony , we had time to advertise , we got around 30 applicants and interviewed about 6/7 , this after getting references and checking up on the interested parties

Darren Shaw was part of that interview process and was therefore contacted the following time , Paul had the assistants job when Darren left and so was a hopefully seamless and quick option , Neil was at the time a logical choice , and a popular one , probably because of how well he had done against us , which quite often is a reason people are selected

Maybe this time as has been suggested we will ask Ians opinions as that option is available to us

Every time it is different , there is no right or wrong way to go about it

Albeit probably the most expensive one as well

But let's not forget , we are hardly the most attractive prospect for a coach either , even though in recent years 98-11 we have had 7 different people in 8 managerial changes , before that the average was probably one a season

We need some stability , that requires common sense and a touch of ' reality ' both on the people charged with making the appointment and the fans once it is made , history tells us that in sport generally unless you have billions to waste , giving coaches time pays off in the end , constantly changing both costs money and disrupts any chance of success

I'm affraid it will have to come with a crust around it. Thats what they eat when they are watching a game over there. Pies washed down with VB. Now I know thats hard to take but when I go over there next year I will be distibuting the Leythers Knowledge of all Lobbys. The regional recipes will be in it and the king of Lobbys ( with mince,carrotts and stock) will be my signature dish. I'll have a Lobby Shack franchise all over the continent by the time I'm 52. World domination by the time I'm 54. Believe.
