The impression given when Mike Jackson was appointed was that another candidate had been spoken to. Surprised to hear this clarification from Mark that Jacko was the only person interviewed.

Mcgreal & Anthony Barry were interviewed, it came down to Jacko or Barry & we know the outcome.

That doesn't seem to tally with what Mark has said in the interview though?

They were 100% interviewed regardless of what he is saying.
Were you on the panel:)?

I don't know what the reality of the situation was, it probably doesn't make a great deal of difference in the grand scheme of things, but can't think of a reason why Mark would suggest only Mike Jackson was interviewed, if others were too.

The discrepancy may be down to the definition of "interview" as opposed to "talks", initial chats, as well as who they were with. Probably semantics.

Indeed. I was told that we spoke to Tim Cahill as well.
