Today is 50 days since McCarthy's departure was announced. 09:47 - May 18 with 1504 views | Superfrans | Or 38 days, if you count from day he actually left. The only time we've had to wait anywhere near as long as this was before Robson was appointed. Permanent manager appointments: 1955: Duncan > 1 day > Ramsey 1963: Ramsey > 1 day > Milburn 1964: Milburn > 27 days > McGarry 1968/9: McGarry > 50 days > Robson 1982: Robson > 1 day > Ferguson 1987: Ferguson > 31 days > Duncan 1990: Duncan > 6 days > Lyall 1994: Lyall > 23 days > Burley 2002: Burley > 17 days > Royle 2006: Royle > 25 days > Magilton 2009: Magilton > 1 day > Keane 2011: Keane > 6 days > Jewell 2012: Jewell > 7 days > McCarthy 2018: McCarthy > 50/32 days (29 March/10 April) | |

Today is 50 days since McCarthy's departure was announced. on 10:16 - May 18 with 1436 views | Hackneyblueboy | If it's true Evans is waiting to speak to Hurst, I do find it a little strange. You would think in theory it would hurt our chances of hiring Ross dramatically. I cant imagine he or St Mirren will be thrilled to wait another 2 weeks (which is realistic given negotiations with Hurst will start once the playoffs have finished). If I was Ross and I was told after two interviews I had to wait then it would hardly be a ringing endorsement that I was first choice. If Jack is the man we need to act swiftly. You would hope Evans being a successful businessman appreciates that. [Post edited 18 May 2018 10:17]

Waiting till all candidates have been interviewed before announcing your decision is fairly standard employment practice across the world. | |

This is true but this is more akin to headhunting. If you are in a job you are happy with and are approached then I would suggest you want to feel like first choice. It would be different to if he had applied. Anyway thats my opinion, let's hope we get one of Ross or Hurst and don't end up with a backup option or even worse Sherwood!

And of course, the standard head-hunting process isn't conducted with media, fans, etc poring over every move. Taking 7-8 weeks is all fine in most sectors, because it is easier to keep quiet about those who have turned down the job, and therefore make the final, successful candidate feel he is the first choice. Plus, of course, a normal head-hunting process isn't conducted with many thousands of fans following every move. | |

With the headhunting process, one still tends to want to interview ALL the candidates you fancy. | |
