Of those who wanted the job

Dean Smith looks like being the best

Which does make me wonder why we bothered sacking Farke

      - Your bar of 'genuine claim' doesn't really mean anything does it? (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 11:47:39
        
        He may well be (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:49:42
        
        So you're suggesting there are only three who meet that criteria? (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 11:51:42
        
        But not ideal such a small pool (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 12:00:48
        
        You've defined 'the pool', no-one else. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:02:40
        
        Gold star for me then! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 12:08:15
        
        😂 (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:09:51

      - And people also advocated Emma Hayes! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:45:09
        
        Who had a genuine claim, then? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 13, 11:48:38
        
        No of course she didn’t lol, same with Robins (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:50:47
        
        Think you’ve misread my post! I’m asking who you think had a genuine claim? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 13, 11:51:38
        
        Of those who wanted the job (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:57:40
        
        Because it wasn't working and we are appointing a manager with more experience (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:01:57
        
        Who wasn't available when we sacked DF (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 13, 13:43:50
        
        We’d probably have ended up with Emma Hayes otherwise tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 13:58:21
        
        I did see a lot of Villa fans calling for Smith to go (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 13, 12:08:50
        
        Fair. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:10:13
        
        Hopefully works out (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 12:07:03
        
        Yep - certainly nothing is guaranteed. Fingers crossed really. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:08:19
        
        All valid points. The problem is that Farke was *so* popular (NCFC) - APB, Nov 13, 12:05:54
        
        Spot on. (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:09:26
        
        That's it.👌 (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 13, 13:44:46
  - We may well have interviewed other candidates who haven't been leaked. (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 13, 11:38:55
    - We were told the shortlist was 2 (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:42:00
      - That is an entirely different point. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 11:43:18
        
        Mashiter saying he was third choice (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 13, 11:47:47
        
        Would be odd if he was first choice (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:52:44
        
        But again, that matters not. (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 11:48:47
        
        He might well be (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:51:40
        
        And it might be bollocks anyway (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 13, 11:49:47
        
        We interviewed people not on the shortlist? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:47:10
  - Literally the only option? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 13, 11:37:46
    - 👌 (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:40:15
