I'd probably give a few man management 'how would you respond?' scenarios which are, unbeknownst to the interviewee, based off our current players.
Player K is a streaky confidence player who's predictable but hard to stop when his tail's up.
Player R has all the ingredients to be one of the best in the league, but goes to pieces whenever he's in the box
Player H has something about him but keeps falling in with the wrong crowd
Every manager would answer those differently, and I think this would reveal so much more about the type of person, their motivational abilities, and suitability for the squad we have, than any questions about tactics and football philosophy.

I think in the modern day, each manager interviews in their own way. Some do fancy PowerPoint dossiers. Some will sit and chat. I think they all get questioned by a pan like any other job too. For me, there should be a practical part. Like when you go for a teaching job you take a class for a 30 minute lesson etc. They should do 30-45 mins, see how the players respond etc. Only issue with this would be wasting actual match prep time. Sauce? |

Would you ever play a striker as a full back? If the answer is yes tell them the interview is terminated and that they can f**k off! Would you ever play a centre back as a striker? If so,I have a suggestion about our current top scorer!! |

What shaped legs go in round holes Yeh, here's a fisher-price peg box & we would like you to put the shapes back in the box, 2 hours later watching them struggle, 'ok DM/MF thanks for coming & we'll be in touch'......NEVER. Lol. 1 week later...... " Congratulations,you were the best applicant. Can you start on Monday?". |

Can you show us and then subsequently our midfield how to pass and then move to receive a return pass?
More seriously though, I’d ask them to turn up with a video presentation, showing training drills, how they are practically applied into their teams with game day video and stats to back it up.
For the second interview, I’d give them training video of our players and the last three games to watch and ask them, how would the previous presentation be applied and benefit our players using these video to show what our players are capable of.
A lot of work, but if they want the job they’d have no issue getting it done.

I would hope that the successful candidate would be prepared, have a plan and challenge whoever is interviewing as to if they think his plan (which would have to be realistic for a lower end Championship club) would be supported. The plan should include: Playing style and football identity Structure of backroom and engagement with the academy Knowledge of the current squad and identity the areas that require attention in the summer A fallback plan in the event of relegation (shows reality and the ability to adapt) A long term vision for where the team could be in 6 months, 18 months, 3 years How progress would be reviewed and the support required from the board. In turn how the new manager would support the board with the wider running of the club eg shaping of strategy, media commitments, fan engagement and community development In short rather than sit there and answer questions and attempt to give the answers they think they want to hear be prepared to set the agenda. I would expect any ambitious and forward thinking individual to be prepared in such a way. It would then be down to those interviewing to challenge, look under the bonnet and see if the words were credible or just a lot of waffle. We need energy, drive, commitment, desire (to be successful for HTAFC and themselves) and have a personality that leads and gets people following them. Any chump can rock up and give glib answers to an interviewer. Evidence so far has perhaps inferred that our current board could benefit from someone as described above. If those selecting the new man are intimidated or have their ego bruised then I would say they might not be entirely best placed to make the selection. It's not what's asked, it's what the candidate says. Justaguy, get this man a seat on the board! |

If so,I have a suggestion about our current top scorer!! Keep him at centre back and stick the Keighley Cannavaro up top next to Bojan so Sorba has 2 target men meaning he has 2 more men to aim for then he usually has |

The board offer the candidate the job….
New manager: can you tell me what the fans are like?
Cartwright: I’ve already been written off, and I’m getting dogs abuse.
Edwards: Not going to lie, I try to stay away from any contact so they give Mark all the abuse.
Nagle: In general they’re great. But there’s this one fella called Dunc, and I cannot stress this enough, if he slides in your DMs do not reply. He’s currently threatening to release private info of my cats medical history.

Just to take us away for the same tedious threads for a short while. I have no idea what a football interview process looks like, I have run many processes myself and i wondered what process I would run for our next manager (because let's face it, whatever we've been doing doesn't work well) So... If you could include one thing in the interview process to try identify the best person for the job what would it be?
Mine would be that I asked them to watch 3 of our matches then give a presentation on our tactics, style of play and identofy any issues. Also then present their tactics with the team and the things that they would change/do.(Serious suggestions preferred) Set up to win a game with a squad selection to play the right players in the right positions and subs that make sense and at the right time. But hey I'm just a retired carpet weaver not a football manager so what feck do I know. Do I get the job Kev  I was a carpet weaver for several years. Axminster and Wilton best quality carpets. |

There would have to be some bespoke questions too. Why did it not work out at Swansea/Hibernian/Chestwankers (etc)? If you'd been given more time what would you have done? Good question but equally I would hope that those recruiting have reviewed the appointment of DM and determined what went wrong. There are always lessons to be learned and people who are successful are those who are able to review, learn and improve. I would hope our new man would be challenging the club about the past and culture at the club. Given Mr Nagle has pledged, through Carmichael Dave, to keep communicating that needs to be accepted and perhaps some mutual red lines set about what and how things are discussed. Everyone needs to work together and our last great manager pretty much had everyone aligned. Mr Nagle has the ability to align people and manager who can work with Mr Nagle in the same way would be very useful. For all this waffle we need someone who has tactical nous and get us winning games of football. I think our penultimate manager said it wasn't that difficult, although he might have been slightly provocative. |
