CCFC MANAGER INTERVIEWS LATEST

Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:39 pm

The club held an interview today with Chris Hughton, I believe the interview took place in London.

Roberto Di Matteo is being interviewed tomorrow and this is set to take place in Birmingham.

Regarding Alan Curbishley I did not ask about when his interview is set for but have been told that if he is chosen for the job then Mervyn Day will come as his No.2.

If the club want Martin O Neill then they may have a battle from another Championship club, Nottingham Forest, who I believe are close to parting company with Billy Davies and they want O Neill as his successor.

Since Mark Hughes left Fulham late this afternoon I have had a call to say that Hughes will be meeting with City to discuss the managers job.

The club hoped they would get their man in and done early next week but I am told from an insider that "It will take longer than what we thought", my opinion is that the earliest we would hear something is late next week.

I am abroad from Sunday but will ring Annis if I hear anything, though I suspect or hope that he will ring me and tell me who had got the job.

Tony I asked how many were on the short list but I was not given an answer to be honest. But there have been more applications today.

Carl,

Surely if interviews were being held in London Curbishley would be interviewed in London? Day has just taken a new job at leeds so i think they would be pissed off :lol: :lol:

MON - would never choose Cardiff over Forrest.

He got Derby over the line though.

Although yes, his Preston side were very talented and he didn't get there.

Lets hope the right manager is chosen, not for name but for style of football and good coaching practices with a no nonsense attitude toward discipline, also a manger who will mix youth with experience and will have more than one system of play.

Carl I hope the club doesn't approach Mark Hughes before July the 1st. As he is still under contract with Fulham :ayatollah:

bob do you think he resigned as the boss of premiership fulham on the off chance of an interview with a championship club or do you think he resigned because he had sorted himself out a deal with Villa.
bear in mind that hughes had not signed a new contract with fulham despite their attempts.

Some great names there. People are easy enough to slag off Alan Curbishley for his Dave Jonesesque demeanour, but everytime I've seen him interviewed, he comes across massively intelligent, eloquent and very astute about the modern game. The West Ham job was at the wrong time for him. Di Matteo another fantastic football person to have in the frame. I'm not sure about Sparky though. That doesn't float my boat

Steve don't wish to sound argumentative mate but Villa have ruled Hughes out and have stated he is not on their shortlist. But I do agree I don't believe he resigned from his position at Fulham on the chance he may get to meet Gethin Jenkins :lol:
