I am sure he is.
He isn't, his actual agent was in the press the other day saying we were preventing him getting jobs in Mexico.

Search & Identify. Headhunt & Review Applications. Shortlist & Interview. Offer. Hire.
This is what happens in all mid-senior recruitment in all industries including football management.
I read a bit of that. You're maybe right. Usually managers are clients of a agents firm, and the firm have a head agent or director who is like the boss so to speak.He isn't, his actual agent was in the press the other day saying we were preventing him getting jobs in Mexico.
Difference is we can't afford to gamble on the manager who has the best PowerPoint presentation again this time.
Klopp and some of those names are unrealistic due to the wage they would command. But I get your point. McInnes is not the best candidate, even if you lool at Pardew, McClaren etc. He certainly isn't better than Preud'homme and I can say that as a fact, just look at that man's record.
You're right, the board have a duty to the club and the supporters to get the best manager possible. Is McInnes the best manager we can attract? No he is not. This is why I do not believe McInnes is the number one target for Rangers. There is no number one target, the board look like if the rumours are correct doing what they did last year. Inviting candidates over to London for an interview then selecting a manager who is best equipped to be the Rangerw manager. By that I mean, tactically good, player development, man management has to be top drawer, experience, being able to deal with the pressure and probably most importantly, being a winner. That's something Warburton and even Pedro wasn't, despite Pedro winning a title in Mexico under a bizarre structure over there. A winner meaning, been to clubs, won trophies there and did it at another club.
Our new manager needs interviewed and assessed by the Rangers board.
I get what you mean but, even when you're headhuntee you still have to talk to the man, discussing the plan, budgets expectations etc. The board are probably just looking at options, wondering who will show up and be interested. But I do get your point.Which is why the board should be identifying those that fit the criteria - if I was a winner and had a great track record etc. I want to be headhunted - I don't expect this to be a glorified version of the apprentice etc. Truly good to great managers will probably feel like their record speaks for themselves and probably won't look too kindly at being asked to interview
Doing a great interview is how we ended up plucking an obscure manager from mid table Qatari football. There's a lot more to it than that.
I really do not see how this interview thing works for us as a football club.
IF for example the wildest of things happened and Mourinho wanted it then we sure as f**k would not be conducting interviews!
You get a shortlist, and you go for your man
Why would they move their familys here? Have you seen how quick clubs are to hire & fire managers? How would that be fair on their wife and kids quitting their jobs & moving school just for the manager to be fired 7 months later?Its been reported that again, we are having interviews in London
Wouldn't it be wise to have them somewhere private up here so they could have a look around and see if they are happy with the not so nice place (west of scotland) we live in?
Why are we doing this when Pedro and Warburton obviously didn't enjoy life in glasgow as any chance they got they shot off home, i.e straight after a friday night game or any international break?
Neither of the two previous managers moved their families up here !!!
A blatant indication they dont plan on staying !
What did he say in this interview? Must’ve missed it.
' The good and the bad football managers'?
Le Guen? McCoist? Warburton? Caixinha?
Not quite that straight forward is it?
Pedro got the job based on Greame Park's friendship with Pedro Mendes, who is Pedro's agent. Plus.... He interviewd well and had good references. But his record wasn't of the standard needed. You can blame Greame Park for letting Pedro Mendes talk him into hiring Pedro as manager.
Not really. But okay.Bullshit.
Anyway, Caixinha’s family moved here so that blows this thread out the water.
Of course there is, but similarly if you go with a guy who has a decent CV without a proper interview you could end up with a lunatic like a billy Davies, Pardew or Nigel Pearson. You need a decent CV and an interview to back it up in my opinion.Doing a great interview is how we ended up plucking an obscure manager from mid table Qatari football. There's a lot more to it than that.
Not moving their family shows a lack of commitment imho.
Of the 4 you mentioned, only Le Guen had a decent pedigree as a manager before taking our job.
Does this always happen with managers jobs in football? I'd always assumed clubs headhunted managers ratger than it being an interview process like the 'real' world.

Really? Why ???
Exactly - rangers should be making the shortlist based on the criteria they want. Honestly,we need a Scottish manager who knows the league and club inside out and can get us winning consistently in SPL again and have us challenging the dhims. Not hard to narrow that down and go get who is top of a very small list I imagine.

Who hires a manager of anything without speaking to them first?!
Mccoist is available ....
I can't fathom out why that is so important . Really if that's the criteria for Rangers manager then we really limit who we can get .
Interview and speaking to them are 2 different things imo

We will know one way or another then if McInnes is in for it as we'll need to agree compo with Dolly to talk.
Would be concerned if it wasn't either him, Moyes or Pardew who get it. Quite clearly the standouts of those mentioned.
Most successful managers in our history have had these qualities.
Maybe there is a select few who really have the capability of managing this club and the expectations and pressure.
Mendes talked Pedro up. It's why Pedro got the interview.Only Mendes isn't his agent...
i heard on clyde last night Guidi said mciness should be interviewing us to find out if we are good enough for him, a caller then asked him about it and he tried to squirm out of it.
we had more away fans than aberdeens whoke stadium had on saturday.
I admire your positivity; this seems a worryingly weak shortlist - Moyes and Pardew have very little credibility these days.
Our DOF hasn't moved his family up eitherIts been reported that again, we are having interviews in London

If interviews were conducted up here the press would be all over it. Locals would tip them off.
London offers a degree of anonomity
Fine until shit hit the fan with murray and craig whyte.Maybe unrelated but Walter Smith was on a flight last night from Heathrow back up here.
Would he be involved in the process in some way?
Everyone knows how his last recommendation worked out.
Can interview there in peace as it’s a big place with little media intrusion I’d suggest.Its been reported that again, we are having interviews in London
