who else applied

I do take the point on this, but all managers need to start somewhere.
If you can point to a good experienced manager that applied for the position I'll conceed the arguement.
Otherwise its all conjecture isn't it? Its ok saying "we should have appointed X" but if X didn't want it, its irrelevant.
