Whilst I tend to agree you have to also remember his contract is up in 6 months. I'm assuming that despite his exploits with them this season he's yet to be offered a new one. Now I know i'd be looking if I didn't have long left in my current job.
Don't think anyone disagrees with that, nor that he is likely to leave. It's just unlikely he'd have been applying for jobs and that we'd announce his appointment on Wednesday whilst they're still in the playoffs. Much as I'd like it to be Buckle, I think we'd have delayed the process if he was in the running. |

He wouldn't be the first though would he to be honest. Our very own Hoddle did it.

Why didn't I think of that?!
Ooops, that'll teach me to get to the bottom of the page before I post. |

Now I know i'd be looking if I didn't have long left in my current job. He may also be thinking he has taken them as far as he can espeically if players like Benyon are going to be sold off cheap. For him it might make sense to move to a bigger club where he can progress his career more. Staying at Torquay might damage his rep if they go up but come straight back down wherea getting us up and then taking us to the top end of L1 would see his rep rise more.
I'm afraid the fact that they've said they would be announcing the new manager next Wednesday just blows the Buckle theory apart for me. Shame, would have been good I think. |

Hasn't Peter Reid publicly stated several times that he wants to stay with Plymouth to get them back up? Ordinarily, I'd take the standard protestations of loyalty in football as utterly worthless (as they usually are), but in his case, his extraordinary actions this season (selling his FA cup medal to help pay staff wages, paying their leccy bill out of his own pocket etc) do give his words weight.

Sure but that was different - Hoddle was offered the Chelsea job on a plate, there wasn't any interview process to go through. If we wanted Buckle it would have been a few private phone calls and then no announcement till after the playoffs. |

If Burley has actually been interviewed, it'll be him - surely the best candidate for the job by far?

You'd hope so, but there may be sticking points we don't know about e.g. (and these are just random examples off the top of my head) his salary demands might be too high; he might want what the board regard as an unrealistic transfer budget; the rumours about Hoddle on the board are true and Burley sought assurances that couldn't be given about no DOF-style inteference; he turned up to the interview in his "Friends of Stalin" T-shirt |

I doubt it. If you're an experienced manager like Burley and you apply for a job with Swindon Town you've reached the point of desperation and all demands and expectations are out the window. Besides which, we've got to have one of the top 5 highest budgets in the lowest two divisions, so I'm sure we pay a decent wage to our managers. |
