It is possible that Giggs is actually telling the truth.
Giggs....How much will I have to spend in the next transfer window Mr Jenkins ?
Huw....Half of what you'll get from selling players.
Giggs...How much will my contract be worth ?
Huw ....Half as much as any decent manager would ask.....that's why I'm considering you.
Giggs.... Where do you expect the club to be in 2 or 3 seasons.
Huw.... Still in the Premier League (I hope), but I'll be gone well before that, so it won't matter much to me one way or another.
Giggs..... There does seem be a distinct lack of enthusiasm in your voice Mr Jenkins.
Huw.....Enthusiasm f*cking Enthusiasm !!! haven't you watched "From a Jack to a King.
Giggs ... I'm sorry, but I haven't Mr Jenkins.
Huw....Now listen son.....do want this f*cking job or what? if not, don't slam the door on your way out. |  |

Look at it this way.
Your owners won't admit no interviews, only ever wanted Bradley. Bad for PR, especially if/when he fails. So allow a compliant media to name names... bolsters Bradley "hey look, he interviewed better than big names".
Clubs aren't beating down Giggs' door to offer him a job. Never in the running for you but named in the media... damage limitation - say he pulled out for valid "reasons". Hardly going to boost his career having to admit he was never approached, a journeyman at best manager the preferred option...
Making the best of a bad situation for both parties. [Post edited 8 Oct 2016 18:52]

So media used as mouthpieces for club PR on a regular basis. Media reports about managerial "interviews" must however be utterly kosher.
Just threw something out there. Can see how it's plausible. |  |

I'm not sure what the rules are in the UK regarding this, but in the United States it's almost illegal to hire someone for a job without first interviewing. Especially in professional sport.
I just have a hard time believing that two people who have to interview by law for jobs they offer, suddenly decide they are not going to interview for this one. | | | |

interesting everyone is attacking Giggs on this.
whatever his ambitions might be I see it as re-inforcing the feeling our board is in deep water and showing limited ambition and leadership. | | | |

We had to interview him to find out he was inexperienced?
Peter Crouch may as well save his bus fare and not bother with the jockey interview. |  | | |

We never interviewed when Guidolin's predecessor got the job. |  |

This is true. I'm just going from the perspective that you are dealing with two American Owners, who are used to following US Laws when it comes to hiring for a job.
It would seem odd to me that they would choose not to interview for this job, and then make it appear to the Press that they did. At some point, one would assume that if they didn't interview Gigs would be crying a lot more about not being considered than he would running his mouth about not having the same ambition. | | | |

Ah right.
Have you got a link to the interview in which Huw/Levien/Kaplan said that?? Not saying they didn't just wanted to read it that's all. Cheers. |  | | |

There's no actual link to them saying it mate but the papers have been reporting it.

Yeah, ignore bluey he's thick.
Semantics but what constitutes an interview is contentious. Huw has hit the mark in the past with unproven managers so Giggs would have ticked some boxes, a discreet phone would have been placed and whether they met or not is irrelevant but they definitely would have spoken - if they hadn't Giggs would have said so so as to save a bit more face. Huw will have decided after the aforementioned conversation that he's a bit of a prick and decided not to offer him the job he was going to pretend to offer him anyway. |  |

I thought he was applying to be the horse?
Anyway, the interesting quote is "mixed messages between the football side and the ownership side." I'm assuming Huw is the football side? |  |

Indeed that suggests he spoke with the majority owners or their representatives as well as the chairman.
Fits with the story that the chairman was keen on giggs but the majority owners insisted on speaking to somebody else.
As has been posted earlier the truth is out there; but this one is going to stay in the x-files marked unsolved. | | | |
