Asked how many applications he had received for the post, Whelan said: "You won't believe, but it's over 50. "I had some absolutely excellent managers - young managers, experienced managers - so everybody that has applied, I say thank you very much. I can't get an interview with everyone but I've got 12, 14, maybe 16 interviews to carry out over the next week."
