I'm sure PH will tell him to go for it. (If offered the job of course). On the face of it, he seems ideal and has no baggage. He could leave Solihull today with him having no contract and it looks like it is his time to step up a notch. If he doesn't come here, i imagine he will be going somewhere else soon.

For me, and a few others, Bignot seems to be in the number one spot for the former, but I'm not sure who I'd earmark for the latter, just hoping a couple of names not mentioned may spring up.

The BBC interview indicates he doesn't do twitter or Facebook so is he tech-savvy enough for the job? Using computers is very important, I'm told.

Do we even know if he's applied/interested/shortlisted or has his name just been plucked from the ether? I'd be happy with him or Bignot as it goes.
