New Manager Latest

By: David | August 17th, 2009

The recruitment process began in earnest for the press today with an announcement from the Borad that Chief Executive David McNally met with the Club’s number one target yesterday, having had permission from the club to speak to him.

“The process has started,” he said. “We have a short list of people that we’re interested in. I would also add that many, many people have applied for the position, but this is a head-hunting exercise rather than us interviewing people who have applied for the role. We have identified in order who we would like to see and we’ve focussed on our number one target.”

“I’ve met with him and we are in talks. Unfortunately, at this stage, I can’t confirm when he will be at the football club but I am confident that at some point as soon as possible we should be able to make a positive announcement. He is currently in employment at another football club.”

Thankfully this rules out the likes of Boothroyd, Kinnear, Dowie, Strachan and the like as he staes that the man in question is in employment at another English club. Obviously Mourinho and Prandelli are also ruled out by this admission, which is a shame!

Any thoughts on who it may be or who you would like to see would be interesting.

Scunthorpe’s Nigel Adkins would not appear to be on the list yet if their chairman is to be believed as he claims to have had no contact from City regarding their manager. I can’t see Winkelman allowing Paul Ince to leave MKDons again having only just returned to them this summer following his spell at Blackburn, and I’m not sure he would walk out on them again. I honestly can’t think of someone I’d love to have at the club apart from the aforementioned Prandelli!!
