interviewing managers


Recommended Posts

As we are yet to go through the process and trauma of selecting a new manager, I thought I would offer some advice incase this was the weak link in the process.

 

Questions to ask.

  • What formation would you base your squad around?
  • Do you have a regular supply from a scouting network?
  • Are you attack or defensive ?

 

Questions not to ask:

 

  • Who do you think will win the F.A cup ?
  • Do you think David Beckham looks good for his age?
  • How many keepie uppies can you do?

 

Anybody else got any suggestions to help the case?

Are you willing to pay?

 

If yes: "The candidate impressed in the interview. He was my No. 1 choice from the beginning." Something leaks out about a masterful powerpoint shindig.

 

If no: "He's an old school manager whose time has passed." Something leaks out about excessive demands and a superior attitude.

Are you Paul Scholes?

Are you sure you aren't Paul Scholes?

Are you a millionaire?

Do you know any millionaires?

Do you have a criminal record?

 

If you answered 'NO' to all of the above then with regret we will be unable to proceed with your application at this time.

Are you on Twitter?

 

Do you have any rallying cries you would like to give to fans that start with a hashtag?

 

Do you like to slag off individual players in the media then after getting threatened with a smack in the chops decide the best course of action is to when getting mullered say that the players gave their all?

Would you rather have legs for arms or arms for legs?

Would you rather have a duck the size of an elephant or a hundred elephants the size of ducks? (Asda genuinely ask this at interviews. The correct answer is a hundred elephants the size of ducks.)

Not always, what if you needed an elephant sized duck? What if you needed to create a thai duck red curry to feed a large number of people?
