I could say Im heavily involved with your club and it would haold as much substance as you have provided. When is your club going to make a decision of your League coach, surely you could give us a date at the least??
You present as another internet fool who may have passed reading in school but never progressed to comprehension.
I have made no suggestion that I am involved in the decision making at centrals, i have good friends and close ties with the club officials, i make a difference with my money and time when work permits. I support all of the decisions the committee makes are in the best interest of the club at the time.
Who would be stupid enough to suggest a date for a decision that can take 6 to 8 weeks of due process, we only had an advertisement in the sunday mail last week, you perhaps?
Without getting into a debate here stirlo, Im the internet fool, yet you claim all this inside knowledge, yet have not presented one peice of evidence to prove that! Anyone could say I know something but cant tell you untill it becomes public knowledge!
I dont claim to be in the know, and anything I hear I happily share with the forum, which is what I thought the whole point of joining was about!!
With the clubs decision, you would hope that at least 4 or 5 of those 6-8 weeks you mentioned would have occured by now, otherwise your telling me/us that the decision to not reappoint Brant was a quickly made decision. Now I doubt that, so I make the assumption that the committee, whether that be you or not, have a set of guidelines that their next coach has to meet to be appointed. If they have already received say the 7 applications that someone posted in this thread, you would think they would have started interviewing those candidates now, not leaving all the interviews until after the close date that applications will be accepted, and I say that for 2 reasons:
1. Say they get 15 applications, that would take some time to go through, interview and allow the approriate time to make a decision
2. Whos to say that the coaches that have applied will wait around for your job, they may just get a better offer while waiting to be interviewed, Some of the names being mentioned in this forum are in line for other jobs.
Time is important to your club as I believe that you have had a spare import spot for the last 2 years (not including the Stanley signing that worked out so well for you), yet you are the first lot to whinge about others imports, so if you were getting serious as a club, a coach would be appointed to sign the best players as soon as possible.
So for a simple question asking how applications are going, and a question asking if a deadline had been set are not too much to ask are they....And the date question didnt mean it had to happen straight away!!!
Gee the answer could have been :
We have received around 12 applications and we endeavour to have the position filled by 31st Oct.
Not too much to ask is it!
