Two weeks until a decision - Tony

30 March 2012 15:44
Tony Stewart says the calibre of applications, plus the fact two board members are out of the country, means a delay to the appointment of a new manager. Chairman Stewart spoke to Millersplayer and said that a number of factors meant a decision now won't be made before tomorrow's game with Hereford.   "I've two Board of Directors out of the country for two weeks which will give us time and we are going to take that time to interview the options that we've got. It's going to be at least two weeks before we appoint the manager", said TS.   "We thought we would have had a decision today (Friday) and originally I wanted a short list of five, but as we were putting together that short list more managers came in which is incredible. Over 60 have applied for the job and we think it's important to take our time. It's a serious thing and we don't want to just decide with a knee-jerk decision.   "We've had Championship managers applying for the job and even had a Premiership manager apply. The ones who have applied have been really high calibre."   Local overnight media sources had reported a two horse race between Lee Clark and Mark Robins, but this afternoons news means fans are back to playing the waiting game.
