[Archived] Search For A New Coach

[Hughesy]

Coach vacancy advertised

I know there are on or two coaches on here, so why not apply to work at Rovers?

UEFA A licence is a minimum..................

Does this signal an end to our chase for Sbragia or is it just to recruit correctly?!

[brfcshabba]

Just so long as it's not Nigel Winterburn...

No chance for Incey then...

[John]

Looks like it is not just the striking position(s) we are finding it hard to recruit for.

[RoversFanUSA]

Just call him Nige, makes him sound stupider.

Shoot I'd sign him if he agreed to go by nige.

Also available are...

Match Day Concourse - Kiosk Staff

Match Day Concourse - Kiosk Supervisors

Match Day Concourse - Section Managers

Match Day Concourse - Cooks

Blues Bar - Bar Staff

Blues Bar - Food Service Staff

Programme Sellers

So it looks like there maybe a shortage of people to dole out the pies and pints again come August.

But this one "Match Day Concourse - Cooks"-Are we to expect an open kitchen on the bottom of the Riverside? An 18 inch wok with a Thai stir fry and Sticky Rice being prepared at half time?

Or is cook a pseudonym for microwave switcher-on-and-offer?

[bubblerrovers]

Surely a joke we have to advertise for a coach, a premiership team having to advertise on own webite for a coach i don't know if i should laugh or cry.

What happened to Allardyce's vast range of contacts in the game?

[T4E]

No chance for Incey then...

Ince would be lucky to get the Matchday Lottery seller position.

Probably something to do with conforming to IIP.

[LeftWinger]

I might apply. If Ince can get the managers job......

[T4E]

Sbragia has been appointed.

As Sunderlands chief scout.

[john-rover]

pretty sure that the law is if the job is longer then a 3 month period it must be advertised

[John]

Are we not after a chief scout too?

[Atty]

What is going on at rovers regarding the recruitment of SAMS backroom staff ?

He was known to have plenty of coaches at Bolton but now is he struggling to employ anyone at rovers because the season is now fast approaching and sam needs to get his backroom staff sorted out. This can just be as important as the players.

We are probably making staff cuts due to the credit crunch or keeping our powder dry.

He needs to get this sorted surely Sam has got contacts in the game

[Mc Love]

Todays the last day: Closing date for applications is Wednesday 22nd July 2009

If this had been happening under Ince, this thread would be 80 pages long already.

Personally, I think it is unbelievable that a manager with Sam's experience in the top flight has to put an ad in the job centre for a 1st team coach. Why don't any of his past coaches want to come here? Why isn't he plucking a bright young coach from somewhere?

[Kelbo]

Maybe thats the way the club have to do it to get the man they want???

It will be advertised in many other publications and coaching circles and could be the club cant for some reason contact the man they want!!

I know of lots of A license coaches but they need Football League or Prem experience unless they have other bits to their bow!!

And it appears as though a pro license is required preferably, so the standard of coach would be quite high!!

Minimum level is A license!

[Billy Castell]

Maybe the people Sam knows are tied up, but there is a range of storming coaches who would not otherwise be aware that the role is up for grabs? After all who had heard of Arsene Wenger or even Carlos Quiroz before they were hired by Arsenal and Man Utd respectively?

What's so wrong with an open advert for a position?

[philipl]

Either the guy who is coming needs to respond to a publicly placed ad to help his escape from club X, or

Rovers are genuinely interested to see whether some good candidates appear from out of the blue, quite possibly from overseas.

Highly unlikely the club/Sam doesn't know who would be available and could do the job.

[Lathund]

I would think the answer is, as suggested, legal. I don't know UK employment law and there seems to be some disagreement, but it would make sense. The part about not being able to contact who we want and needing them to contact us is another.

But I also don't see what we have to lose by doing it. Maybe it gets us some extra applicants we wouldn't otherwise get. If not, then we haven't lost anything. Only downside to this is forum clowns overreacting, but they'll always find a reason to do so anyway.
