A few good debates with some fellow coaches today about the various rumours circulating about the head coach role.
Based on all the rumours we've heard, this is our assumed summary of where we are.
We interviewed 3 coaches - 2 relatively inexperienced coaches and 1 more experienced coach.
Our preferred candidate has accepted the role will bring a core backroom team.
The only open point is the extended backroom team. Our preference is to recruit these directly in order to build our own internal team - the new head coach isn't adverse to this however has requested oversight of the process to ensure the quality of resource matches their expectations.
No one seems to have any concerns over the takeover, or the appointment of the coach.
This of course could be completely incorrect - but I'm pretty confident it's not.

Cheers for the info mate and maybe some will settle down especially after copland telling us the takeover happens next week.

Cheers EHL. So I assume your view that any of the media speculating about who's getting interviewed, or still under consideration is all nonsense as we've already got the new coach signed?

I think what's clear that there is a certain amount of misinformation going about that's creating a level of hysteria. I am not suggesting the misinformation is deliberate or even known to be misinformation but I think we need to trust the process. These guys don't seem to be the type to walk away and they are so far in already it would be incredible if they did given the presence they have had at nearly every game this year so far.

Is it a possibility the person who you believe has accepted the role is also on gardening leave until a certain date so can't officially sign a contract at the moment
I'm just thinking back to your comments a few months ago when you said the short list was 2 and then became 3 owing to circumstances which was at the same time Rose was let go from leipzig.
Also white horse asked the otherv day mentioned a German and asa has continually believed it to be a German.
If going by johns other post confirming terzic saying no that would make the shortlist of 3 terzic, rose and schmit.

Verdant, can't talk about any names, however I understand that a lot of the names that are being referenced as rejecting us were not interviewed - however we're ruled out relatively early in the process.

Scotty, I'm not in ITK. However, I have been following all the posts over the last couple of weeks very closely and especially of those that do have some inside info. I also follow Italian (Napoli) and Spanish football and the various media outlets from both countries. It's not hard to piece together what 49ers intentions are with regards to appointing the new 'Head Coach'. The flip side is nothing is ever guaranteed, but that's where I placed my bet at 6/ 1. ๐๐๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ฒ.

That was my thoughts Verdant, Rose may still well be employed within the Group so that could be the delay and could be a way to work around wages instead of pay offs if he takes another Job within the Teams they are involved with is just a thought.

Dont like being a party pooper but i get the queezy feeling there is a serious amount of guesswork on this site in the last few weeks, don't get me wrong here i am not judging anybody on here as i am not privy to any information from any sources, and on the manager subject can anyone enlighten me as to why the daily rebel is pumping out russel martins name incessintly every day.

Cheers EHL, I popped on the other day seemed like someone had chucked a grenade and everyone was panicking ๐ I read a few messages then thought naa I canny be dealing with this lol.
Given the the time we've had over the last 10 years or so I don't blame people for panicking tbh, I firmly believe the big wheel keeps on turning and we're on our way to the top again and hopefully lasts a good while, I'd love the team to be successful again especially for all the young team who haven't experienced a successful dominating Rangers.

If he has been appointed then why haven't we all been told? As it was meant to have been done a week or two ago? Or has it just beed accepted this week?

Ehl I have to ask, if you have heard a name does he excite you? I get the fact you can't actually name who it is but is going to be a good appointment?

23 May 2025 17:34:34
EHL, you're probably tired of this question bud but any clues on a timeframe? I don't have a source but I'm hopeful for next week, hoping that you share my optimism?

Putting 2+2 together with EHLs post and getting Ancelotti from that.
'it will make sense when it's announced'
Last game with Real Madrid tomorrow. Put a goodbye post on his Instagram, 'start of a new phase' is a quote from his post. I reckon this takes off Sunday/ Monday with an announcement midweek next week.
