And then their were six.
Huddersfield Chairman Ken Davy and the board met yesterday to select their prime candidates to succeed Andy Ritchie from a total of 26 applications.
"We will be doing some additional research on the candidates we want to talk to and the calibre is very high.'
"While the candidates we have are good, we will not rule out anyone else from applying at this stage.
"Of those who are on our list, we will be in touch with them in the very near future."
Said the Chairman
Ken Davy, vice-chairman Andrew Watson and board members Roger Armitage, Ann Hough and Ralph Rimmer, the stadium managing director, put together the shortlist.
When I saw this, the question that sprang to my mind was,
Are these the right people to be doing the interviews ?
Do they know what it takes to be a football manager.
Whilst they know the club, and of course its goals, and culture, and as it is Ken Davys money he should be interviewing, but the others ? I am not convinced.
Whilst Vital Huddersfield welcomed the removal of Andy Ritchie we do also think other changes need to be made, and perhaps a more in depth football knowledge interviewing panel could be one of them.
Your views.
