STM Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 12 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: A weird stance if true considering he’s had multiple interviews whilst the season was ongoing. I think what is meant is that he probably didn't want to leave until the season is over. Even to a DoF it might feel like leaving before the job is done. Also Palace have had an upsurge, so you can understand if he'd like to see the season out. He's interested in the job because he's interviewed for it numerous times. Of course he's also well within his rights to change his mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I’ve got a feeling based on nowt that he’ll turn us down, was reading how he regretted leaving Palace when manager, depends ultimately how ambitious he is as Palace will always be a selling club, but he might have a lot of power at Palace that he won’t get here which might impact job satisfaction.

I would understand that if he was somehow coerced into applying, but having willing gone through what would appear to be a fairly arduous process to receive an offer - it would be odd for him to turn it down late stage. Not likely to be leveraging it for greater control / remuneration at Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagMal Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 If Freeman wants to stay at Palace then so be it, it is his decision could be family, could be lack of confidence etc, whatever it is his call, but for me without been all billy big balls club about it, it shows a lack of ambition and therefore would he be the right person for the job?.

Dr Jinx Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 He won’t have applied for a job, approached by a broker or intermediary. A call arranged, which he’d do out of courtesy. Maybe they’ve had 2/3 conversations and he’s said he’d be looking for some assurances from his current employer before deciding anything. Impossible to know as the club do things professionally now. Howe was asked about it in an interview recently and said if they had to wait 12-18 months for the right person that’s what they would do.. that in itself was quite telling. They’re in no rush and the plans for the summer will be pretty much all but set in stone before Ashworth quit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 At this level you'd expect the interview to be two-way i.e. the candidate would be scrutinising his potential employer, so while I don't think this is the case, it's conceivable he impressed us but we didn't impress him. As has been discussed, the structure of modern football clubs is quite nebulous e.g. two people can have the same job title and have very different areas or grades of responsibility. It might just be he was hoping for one type of position and we're offering something different. Or it could be Twitter rubbish! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) Odgers are running the recruitment process on behalf of NUFC Candidates will be assessing if they fancy working for the club as much as we're assessing whether the candidates could deliver the vision for NUFC It's a two way process, with Odgers in the middle co-ordinating it This isn't like Fat Mike down the Dog & Duck offering jobs to the boys because he's 7 pints deep and trying to impress a barmaid who keeps glancing at his wide legged denim pantaloons Edited May 20 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
