Genuine common sense tells you that Devaney isn't getting the job as if he was getting the biggest managerial job of his career he would have been with the players on day 1 of pre season and would have been appointed by now.

But he was granted an extra few days holiday for him and his family, so not in anyway. Remember, these first few days are about fitness levels and stats - so coaching is minimal.
On the last day of his holiday. According to his twatter account . Suspect he'll not be back while friday at the earliest.
