They must rate Delaney as I thought Strachan would be a real coup

Is this the same Strachan that said playing against 9 men was more difficult than 11 m8?

I am happy to let the club decide who should get the job. It feels like Delaney has stepped up during Pre season perhaps to see how he gets on?
Not sure why some are turning their noses up at him? He played for Cardiff, Villa and Wales. 14 years at Villa coaching before coming to us.
With two new coaches already in he gives a bit of continuity, knows our journey and what the club is about and will have already established relationships with the players. Also the club already know what they are getting and what he is about. So there are some advantages.

The best in what way? The job description was pretty extensive. So all candidates will have their strengths and weaknesses.
Also if they are appointing externally the club may have to negotiate with another club over that persons existing contract?

. Yes probably didn't really express what I mean't. What I should have said if fans were given a list of candidates we probably would not be able to say who the best candidate was?Because most fans don't watch coaching sessions or understand what goes on. It would be based on what they knew about them as a player or their profile.It would not be based on coaching ability or ability to meet the extensive job description? I for one don't understand all the aspects of the job description. So when the club announce the appointment I will have to accept they have appointed the most suitable candidate for the club and their reasoning will be based on a wide range of skills and experience.
I wonder whether the panel have differing views on the next appointment ….
The best fit capability against the criteria set out, like in any proper interview ….

My second favourite City player of all time. Oozed class. I'd love to see him back in some capacity

One of my all time favorites too
I was in Sweden not long ago and was told that he owns a small restaurant and isn’t much involved in football … could be wrong

But nothing dramatic is it? I have chaired loads of interview panels where the job requires an expansive level of skills. Rarely do the panel fully agree. But after an adult conversation and analysis of skill sets, there is usually a clear candidate

41-year-old Dempster joined the Club in February 2020 as Lead Professional Development Phase (PDP) Coach and Senior PDP Coach in 2022. In that role he led the Under 21s to Professional Development League victory in 2022/23 and the final of the Birmingham Senior Cup, and has also spent previous periods supporting Mark Robins and the coaching team at Ryton.
was Adi Head of coaching then? or are we still expecting some form of assistant manager do we think?!

Ah yes. John Dempster. A stalwart of my Rushden & Diamonds Championship Manager side circa 2001.
If I were Robins I’d sell him immediately and sign Taribo West.
