It says 28 applications, not 28 they interviewed. As you sort of hint at, it's likely that they made a shortlist of 3 out of the 28.
Ronny Deila Named NYCFC Head Coach / Deila Joins Standard Liège
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I'm slightly excited about the idea I might have to Google for each of the 3. The assistant coach of BvB is a blogger with a MSc in Psychology.
The GVB case isn't making that much sense to me at this point. If we were waiting for Arteta it doesn't make sense that we're still waiting. If we were grooming GVB all that time it doesn't make a lot of sense if we had 28 applications and still have a shortlist of 3. It's plausible (e.g. he changed his mind, or CFG / NYCFC changed their mind and decided to widen the net) but feels like a reach.
If we are going with a Google-necessitating coach, maybe CFG / NYCFC has learnt the lesson of two premature rebuilds and is looking for someone to stick around and see things through.
That's absolutely not what that means. It means 28 people reached out, and they interviewed a certain amount of them. It does not mean that they offered the job to 28 people who all declined.
It’s 2020 and people are still listening to Araos and Sanchez...and some twitter handle names UKNYCFC
Well...kinda yeah.
He did also suggest that all games may be moved to Citi Field next year, which was just absurd
This could have just as easily been a retweet from the day after Dome quit. The guy tried to create some sort of buzz by teasing what turned out to be a complete nothingburger.
I think we hear something tomorrow. Apparently everyone has been on holiday and are back on the second. Would t be surprise if it’s all done and they’re just waiting till tomorrow to do all the posts.
It would be quite a feat if we had a whole dang coaching search without a single rumor coming from it. Easier to believe the whole FO is out there just whistling Dixie
EIther we hired someone days ago (or more) and held off on the announcement because people are on vacation and they managed to keep perfect secrecy because Lord knows you can't announce news without several subcommittee meetings and preclearing all the videos and press releases through multiple channels and Senior VPs, OR, tomorrow we will be 9 days away from opening camp and still won't get an announcement because they haven't hired anyone yet.
Both are an inconceivable joke.
For all the criticisms of this organization, we know how close to the vest things are kept. There have been leaks, just no new ones in the last couple months. But GVB was on the table for us before we knew Dome was unhappy and about to quit. There not being any other real rumors really shouldn't be a surprise. The sporting side of this organization has been run very well, and obviously while Claudio's departure delayed the search, it's hard to imagine that they're far away from naming a coach. Like others, I think we get an announcement before the end of this week. Early next week at the very latest.
Feeling decent about the choice. I still wish the club was better about communication around this.
If it makes everyone feel better, the club's started posting stuff again. Social Media seems active again.

Their communication is comically bad. No argument there. But that doesn't mean the sporting department is clueless, just that the business side can't get its collective head out of its collective arse.
Search for "van bronckhorst" on twitter right now and you'll find dozens of stories in Dutch saying he is reported to have accepted an offer to coach in China. I won't link them because they're all in Dutch and I have no idea which are the most reliable but it's all over the place, though most use the formula "is reported" which indicates no formal announcement, but this appears to be at least likely true at this point.
Firsthand report from the Netherlands' biggest paper here: https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/389065444/van-bronckhorst-onderweg-naar-china
Hey, at least it says we made a competitive offer.
interesting, wont this out him out of a possible consideration at being man city's next manager?
