So how would you appoint a new manager?

[cher1]

Come on then...

Asking people in the know about recruits' personal traits in an attempt to exclude anyone difficult to work with, drinkers, lazy managers, bullies- we've probably been down all those routes before? And hopefully to find a manager who is good at ...well... managing people.

Previous record?

Interview performance? What questions would you ask?

And what %age importance would you give to each criteria? Am fascinated as I've done a lot of recruitment in the past, but recruiting someone to manage a football team is like no other.

Look him in the eyes and ask, can you get us out of this crap...if he says yes and you can sense he means it, set him on. Non of this nanny pamby tick box garbage, it’s failed us before.

No crappy powerpoint presentations, just a few obvious questions about previous jobs but the owner really should have a preference before the interview.

....spot on....we are not "interviewing" someone to flip burgers or run the front desk

The owner, chairman or board should already know who they want, a "top 3" if you like, based on their public profile, Wiki entry, style of play and stats history.....the "interview" is really just a confirmation of the terms and conditions, compo package and salary.

The potential manager, if good enough....should be interviewing Hardy, just as much as Hardy is interviewing him ie do I really want to manage Notts?

If it is a mutual fit then sobeit.....any potential manager turning up for a job that sounds "too keen"....is probably named FullaWhatever!

Show them a couple of videos of the game and ask for an analysis of the play and the squad.
Ask them who they can bring to the table. the
Ask them what points target they resign at if they fail to achieve.
Ask them how come they are currently available.

Edit: Run all the answers past Durham.

Compared to who? Ray Trew?

Durham may be dour, but he's right more often than not(ts).

...a point just echoed by Elite, I think on another thread.....he gets his knockers on here but once again he has called it spot on.

He attends both home and away games which gives him a bigger say than most on here.....IMO.

Show him videos of the past 4 league games.... ask them to rate the defense on a scale of 1 to 10.... if he says 1... give him the job! He can obviously see more than KN did.
