Who will be the 3 candidates?

Caley Thistle have not approached anyone regarding the position and will draw up a list of the three most favourable candidates after today's meeting (22-Jan-09) at Caledonian Stadium.

Inverness director of football Graeme Bennett claims the Highland club will consider all applicants regardless of nationality or experience.

He said: ?The process for the replacement of the manager has started and that will be ongoing.

?There has already been a fair bit of interest in the position and we are not ruling anybody in or out.

?We have an open book, there is no set criteria, we are just seeing who is available and we will take it from there.

?We are going to sit down and decide who we would like to speak to.

?We have not spoken to anyone about the job yet ? it is up to the board to do that.

?We have gathered some information over the last 24 hours on prospective candidates and the sooner we can arrange interviews the better.?

So if today's board meeting is going to result in three names being put forward then I think they may be:

1) J Robertson

2) A Knox

3) A N Other

I don't think we will see Terry Butcher or Ossie Ardiles on that short-list of candidates being invited for an interview at the club....

Interestingly these are the latest odds and the bookies don't often get it wrong (but where do they get some of these names):

John Robertson 2

Terry Butcher 10/3

Barry Wilson 5

Archie Knox 6

Ossie Ardilles 9

Gordon Chisholm 9

Willie Donnachie 10

Kevin MacDonald 11

Derek McInnes 12

Steven Pressley 14

Eric Black 14

Neale Cooper 16

Colin Calderwood 16

Bruce Rioch 16

Chris Sutton 16

Charlie Christie 16

Stevie Frail 18

Maurice Malpas 20

Colin Hendry 20

Alex Rae 20

Jim Duffy 22

Derek Adams 25

Duncan Shearer 33

Craig Brown 33

Steve Paterson 33

Bobby Williamson 33

Probably need God to save us now. If these candidates are so good why are they out of work?

think robbo,s out the running,as he hasnt been interviewed by the club

It's official. Robbo is not getting the job

He has left his last 4 teams under a cloud and it is felt that it is better to look forward rather than back. "he will not be interviewed for the post".

Interesting - then so who is?

Obviously the bar in the Gorgie Suite is the place to ask the right questions while the drink is flowing....loose lips and all that.... :rotflmao:

Chris Sutton was interviewed by Bennet / Fraser in Aberdeen on Thursday, Sutton lives in Norwich, Eastern Airways do Aberdeen / Norwich flight - this is why they met in Aberdeen

If the board aren't even giving Robbo an interview then that's a feckin joke. Archie Knox is a good assistant but............... :rotflmao:

I had a dream last night, Sutherland was standing on the centre spot the board were around him in a circle and the PA was playing Metallica's "Master of Puppets".

...but...could Robbo get along and co-operate with anyone aftyer having been top dog at Tulloch Stadium?

Maybe he would try hard since he needs work but in the long run does a leopard ever change his spots?--not when someone remarks..."ahem, your slip is showing.."

It's the old story also about "can you go back sucessfully?". You know that is a hard one but in general terms probably not IMHO.

iwould rather have knox over robbo anyday,think of the years of experience knox has even if he hasnt been a manager and he is brining in a scottish assistant,the board were never going to touch robbo as long as ds was there

Why do folk insist that Knox has never been a manager , he was at Aberdeen and Dundee I think .

Knox had a spell as Aberdeen manager in 1986 GUARANTEED

Knox had a spell as Aberdeen manager in 1986 GUARANTEED

In 1980, Knox became assistant to Alex Ferguson at Aberdeen, helping the team to two Scottish Cups, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and subsequent European Super Cup in his three years with the Dons. In 1983, Knox returned to management with Dundee, where he would spend two-and-a-half years. A short spell back at Aberdeen followed, before following Ferguson to Manchester United in 1986, where he stayed until April 1991.

Anyone know what his record was like at Dundee? Uninspiring IMHO.
