Yeovil Town owner Prabhu Srinivasan has told the club’s supporters not to expect an immediate appointment of a new manager following the sacking of Mark Cooper.
The club posted a video message from the Dubai-based businessman on Monday afternoon where he said that the club would be going through “a full thought through scientific process” as it looks to select its candidate.
He said: “I want you folks to know this is not a quick fix. This is not a send in your CV and get hired process, our global experience and our partners who have football experience and probably played in the football arena before and have been chairmen and directors, we have all come together to find the right manager .
“We are looking at the technical skills, background of the coach/manager, external validation, most importantly the way the person connects with the first team and how he communicates with the supporters and media.
“This is a full thought through, scientific process, it might take a little time but I ask all of you to support us, be with us through this journey. For us to build a sustainable club going forward, I have said this many times, this is not an ego buy, it is all of us coming together to do what is right for the club.”
The club has appointed coach Richard Dryden in chairman of first-team affairs whilst they seek a new manager. He took charge of Saturday’s 3-2 defeat at FC Halifax Town and will be in the dug-out when the Glovers travel to Solihull Moors on Tuesday night.
Very interesting to read the most important required qualities. All areas where MC was sadly lacking
Just bring us Steve Cotterill already
We surely don’t want yet another manager with a negative, boring playing style?
Like I’ve said in my opinion Copper should have gone before the end of last season to be honest being negative to press pri match was worse than after post match
Much appreciate the communication . Entirely agree.
Great communication from the club, something we’ve been lacking with previous owners. Taking their time hopefully rules out knee jerk apportionments like Darren way, Derek Adam’s etc. Seems sensible to get the next two games out of the way, and then make a start with a new manager the Monday after that!
It all sounds great doesn’t it? Fact is we are hardly going to get dozens of applications from proven
managers because anyone really decent will be employed already.We need someone like a Neil
Warnock who wouldn’t want a long contract, to sort out the dead wood from this squad (and there
is a lot) and then try and get some half decent people in. There is a REAL threat of relegation here
and the owners need to act quickly.
Bring in Phil Brown ex Kidderminster manager, should do us good..
