More than 40 applicants

[Bergen]

According to Kent; "The Head Coach search may be taking longer than some expected but with 40+ applicants, we are proceeding through"

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Looks like he reads the board then.

Did byways1 apply,that would take up 38.

[i8ubutler]

Blimey !

[Bergen]

I`d love to see that list!

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

I`d love to see that list!

The only name that interests me is who we get. Don't care about the rest.

If you get 40 CV's in you should be down to a shortlist of half a dozen in a day. Great position to be in. You'd hope for some real quality in a list of applicants that long.

Yes we’d all hope for that but seeing the names bandied around in the betting I’m not sure there will be more than a couple that will really fit the bill. Hopefully the bookies know as little as we do about who has actually put in a CV.

My opinion too. shouldn't take too long to sift out the majority who are not in with a shout. The numbers sound impressive and a useful excuse for the search to take a long time, but in reality that's just an excuse to appease the fans. Taking us for mugs.

Getting together a short list from the applicants is not the issue, the issue is picking the winner from the short list. That's what may take the time, that and Teague's business diary.

Appreciate the need for a shortlist but something like today can come along and totally blow things out of the water.

Example:

We may have wanted Sol Campbell big time, number one first choice and all that. But Sol Campbell is teasing us along, playing us off with an offer from Southend. Then Neil Harris becomes available, Southend withdraw their offer, Sol is now back on our doorstep.

We could have been ready to tie up a deal with Kenny Jackett with Portsmouth's best wishes, who in turn want Nathan Jones with Stoke's best wishes and then the Millwall job becomes available, Jackett has second thoughts with us refuses to resign and so it goes up the chain.

I now it's all surmising but the Millwall, Stoke, Southend and Portsmouth jobs could have a big effect on what happens with us. Could we be keeping our powder dry for someone or something to happen?

You can't run a professional recruitment process like that though. If you work that way then you deserve all the crap that comes your way. IMHO.

Now back to the real world.
Orient have no chance whatsoever in getting Jackett or Anybody of that class.
Neil Harris could be interested.
I don’t think Sol Campbell will be playing silly buggers he doesn’t need a job.
If we were really ambitious he would have been in charge last Saturday.
Get real, the next boss will be one of Calderwood, Hendon, Nugent or Mcanuff.

Can we have a nailed on top 6 from you please byways.

Kent wants to lump on his & Nigels favourite who wont have been reported on in the press by your woeful candidate reasoning.

100k on a 20-1 shot gets him £2 million knicka back in his sky rocket.

Youve had months to decide & you

FFS you are only playing at it as well.

A man like you who spouts such nonsense,
should have 1 name in the frame & have him here already !!

Not my six you fool.
This is the list that Ling is working to.
Sol Campbell all day long for me.
Any ambitious club would demand their DOF comes up with one name.
That’s his job, not sift through a load of CVs of which most will be idiots and time wasters.
I knew a bloke who’s hobby was applying for football managers jobs because he collected rejection letters from clubs, had 3 from the FA.

I doubt anyone is surprised you associate with people like that.

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

I wonder how many have also applied for other jobs? Doubt we are special, just have a vacancy and lots of people are unemployed.

According to Kent; "The Head Coach search may be taking longer than some expected but with 40+ applicants, we are proceeding through"

And now, also directly from Kent, we are down to interviews with the four standout candidates.

[Top of the JES]

This ^^^^^^

Told today that it will be narrowed down from four to two who will get a final interview late on this week with the owners and a probable announcement made Thurs/Fri or early the following week. tried fishing for names but didn't get any!

Yes, but it would still be interesting to know who's names are on that list .

Why do we have to have a day to day account of the process circulated to us the public
I really wish they would keep the whole process confidential. Do we really need to know each and every specific detail. I realise Kent means well and he loves orient but hey I am convinced it best to keep it all private

We don't have a day to day account though and we are not being told every specific detail. There's no harm in periodic updates like he is providing so we know what stage the process is and in the interests of transparency.

[Orient Punxx]

Jobi for me.

Lack of experience yes - but win record last year when he was in the team and influencing was stand-out.

Thanks for trying , West. It would have been interesting to know who's in the frame.
