At the end of the day the communty is so small, plans are hardly ever that secret anyway.
This is true, but I think the reason AGMs are allowed to interview is not based on the confidential knowledge they hold (or don't hold), but rather the convention is to not stand in the way of a promotion for those individuals.

AGMs seem to have the green light to interview for GM jobs, but I am not so sure that is the case for GMs interviewing for GM jobs.

No inside knowledge, just an observation I was going to make when this became a discussion point.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
