Have we actually interviewed anyone properly yet? Or is it all initial chats and  general newspaper conjecture?

Don’t think so, hope we get it wrapped up before Rudkin & Top go off to share a tent at Glasto

Do you remember the days when this forum had a handful of ‘In The Knows’

 

In the style of Delia “Where are you?…”

Didn’t you know That John Rudkin is actually no other than @weller54 😉

You heard it here first 😉😉

At the moment it appears it's just Rudkin sending DM messages to prospective managers on Instagram. 

Welp, he’s getting left in Message Requests

I have a theory for what its worth. Longer it takes, the more likely it'll be Potter. Cooper would have said yes or no by now. Must be arguing about terms and money. Might be wrong , of course.

Potter had an incredibly well ran club behind him with qualified people in important football touching roles. 

 

Appreciate the same shit set-up we've got would apply to all managers but I don't think Potter would be as successful here due to the much inferior DOF and the fact our analytics department seems to have lost key people. 

 I would think the point of bringing someone in who knows what a good DOF and Analytics team looks like is he will demand better.

They thought that they'd done that with deluded Brendan but he turned out to be a complete charlatan. 

 

An all round top manager, coach and all round person you suggest is ni on impossible I'd suggest. Even a good manager and good coach in one is difficult.

I don't think we've offered it to Cooper - I'm sure if we did we'd at least be matching his salary at Forest so I don't think it would be money. 

 

I think we are rightly having 2nd thoughts or something hasn't hit the spot with him with us.  

 

I hope I'm right because if he comes in I can only see it being a long, hard and ultimately disappointing season with him in charge

If it was to be cooper the deal would be done by now

I agree, clearly the club aren’t convinced. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I’m getting bored of this. The club have said and hide behind the idea of doing their business in private, and I get that. But it can also be cover for them not having a coherent strategy or knowing what they’re doing.

He’s obvs not first choice but managers often aren’t 

there is still time for it to end up with him

a few years ago people would have said this is nonsense 

but what we’ve seen play out means that you could well be right 

let’s hope you’re not 

[fox_favourite]

It maybe a case of the board pushing hard to convince Potter, who is playing hard ball, or not entirely convinced. If that falls through, they'll go to Cooper and it'll be wrapped up slightly quicker. 

 

Or

 

Rudkin is sticking his pencil up his nose while trying to remember his password for his computer. Once he remembers it, he can find his emails. (Another 2 days)

 

Well, that's my theory.

Potter to be announced this Friday.. 🔥

 

Cooper isn't a great fit at all. 

[jonthefox]

I'm 110% convinced, nailed on and would bet my mortgage that it's Potter.

I might be wrong though.

[An Away Move]

Brighton have held talks with Potter but have gone in a different direction as Potter is being wooed by Leicester - according to The Guardian. Think it will be him now.

Up at it and ready for another day of unsatisfying speculation

[phoneticerror]

If we somehow get Potter we’ve landed on our feet big time. What an upgrade.

[foxfanazer]

I'm starting to question his faculties if he's been wooed by Rudkin 

[Silverfox14]

I would be very happy if it was Potter.  I would be fine with Moyes.

Is that sharp haircut, trimmed beard and turtleneck Porter? Or shellsuit Potter?

[Saxondale]

There's about a billion references in this thread to Rudkin's supposed action or inaction around recruiting the new manager, but I'm 99% sure the managerial recruitment is lead by Susan Whelan.

I hope we get Hairy Potter.
