According to the Raith Rovers FC website the manager’s job as a result of John McGlynn leaving to become manager of Falkirk FC was advertised with a closing date.
That way only people who are interested in the job apply instead of all the newspaper and social media talk we have had regarding the next Dundee FC manager.

You think?I would have thought the advert might just attract the dafties who play football manager and think its a laugh, or Mark mcghee..... thousands apply,but what happens if your preferred choice doesn't?

I would expect the new director of football will draw up a shortlist,the merits and demerits of each will be discussed,then John Nelms will employ whoever is cheapest....

Too bad if the preferred choice does not apply. The next best applicant should be appointed.
We seem to be a bit late appointing a Director of Football. Earlier this season I read an article with the Director of Football at Kelty Hearts who was 37 years old and he had been the Director of Football since Kelty Hearts were playing in the Lowland League.
