From my information there will be interviews conducted from tomorrow onwards with 5 candidates. 3 interviews will be held face to face in London and the other 2 will take place in Glasgow.

One via Teams and the other one face to face in Glasgow.

Davis/ Rae and Smith will be in charge up until the International Break and board will meet to finalise 2 man shortlist.

These two candidates will be put towards the board and a vote will take place.

Expect no announcement for at least 10 days on management appointment.

Forget the betting and the books that are being created.

As per my understanding the 5 candidates are Lampard, Muscat, McInnes, Ryan Lowe and Jensen.

I am sorry but none of the above fills me with confidence.

1st choice Jensen
2nd Muscat
3rd McInnes

The other 2 are horrendous options.

Thanks Abu Dhabi appreciate the info mate.

Looking at that list I noticed something, just jumped out at me.

Mccinnes - best of Scotland?

Jensen- best European?

Muscat- best outwith Europe?

Lowe- best championship?

Lampard - best commercial and unemployed?


That’s my take on that list, it’s like one from each possible environment.
Like the board have picked what they see as the top option from each.

Have to say none fill me with great excitement.

Tough to be honest, think Jensen would be my preference but whoever comes in has a very difficult job on their hands.

We are a poor team and squad at the minute with a very bad summer transfer window just gone.

Asking players such as Davies and Wright to play when they were told they were free to move on etc just shows how badly the recruitment was managed.

New manager needs at least 4 transfer windows to make the required changes but we don’t have lots of cash either.

The next appointment has to be given time and not 1 year. We are a fair bit behind in terms of quality in our starting 11 and strength in depth.

In my opinion we lack creativity and first job would be to bring back Hagi and Lowry in Jan, then focus on the defence. 3 out of our 4 need to be replaced at the back. The time is over on selecting players on past form and loyalty.

What about this other guy from Belgium that has been mentioned? Philippe Clement. He has a hell of a CV and I’m starting to see his name pop up more and more.

Not sure who I would want but strike out Lowe and McInnes right away. I read recently that we looked at Peter Bosz before appointing Beale. That was a shocking decision, someone like that is what we need, a wily old veteran of a few leagues, who knows what he wants and how to get it. I know he has had money but the difference between the PSV side under him and the one we played last year under Van Nistelrooy is night and day despite them losing their two best players. I know we can`t get him now but it makes me wonder if Clement might be the right option as a man with similar experience in a few leagues.

Won the Juliper league 3 times with Club Brugge and Genk.
He recently managed Monaco but failed to win any silverware.

I just don’t believe mcinnes is on the list just can’t see he knocked could back before and his football is boring.

Like the way AZ Alkmaar go about their football, can see why Pascal Jansen is being considered.
Either him or Muscat for me, the latter because he will know the market in the far east inside out.
