Having followed the Sox from across the pond for just the last 4 years (Hi All!) and having read the forum for a while thought I would finally contribute for what it's worth. It's interesting to see how the hiring procedure works over there. My first sport is football (soccer) and over here everything is kept very quiet until someone is actually hired, although of course rumours will appear in the press as to who's in the picture along the way. So I find it strange to see press conferences introducing potential candidates and what they have to say. That said, it seems that a complete mess has been made of this whole process and that BC has gone down the path of speaking to 5 potential managers, none of whom from the start were ownership ever going to want to hire, effectively wasting 7 weeks. If the remit was to hire someone with more experience why wasn't BC told that from the start?
