Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[magicianpie]

I don't often agree with you Durham but on this occasion.....

Yep I don?t think it will be too long until an announcement is made. And agreeing with Durham. 🤣

Compared to the bohemian utopias that are Grimsby, Accrington, Barrow, Morecambe, Burslem, Chesterfield, Doncaster.....?

Nottingham has more than its share of deprived areas, but if you are a footballer who can afford to live in a relatively affluent area, then in terms of services, amenities, shopping, nightlife, the city knocks spots off most of League 1 and League 2 towns.

Yeah, I think you and KC said it well.
It says it all that once horrible exceptions like Luton, Stoke, Oldham have become the norm across England.
But Nottingham/Notts is big and interesting enough to live well, if you have a bit of money

I'd find it difficult to accept Williams back, he'd want to leave again at the wiff of the next opportunity, he's got a track record of that now.

Some of these posts read like jilted lovers.

I find it incredible.

Leaving aside the debate about whether Williams is the right man or not, we should seek to appoint the best candidate out there for the job. If they do well, whoever they are, there's a good chance they will get head-hunted by a bigger club and move on at some point. In the meantime we get the benefit of whatever progress they make.

I can't believe so many grown adults seem to expect professional football people to show undying loyalty to a club and turn down better opportunities. It's a business, not a love story. We've poached managers ourselves. The only thing that matters is will they improve us while they're here?

Exactly. Loyalty is a load of *******s.

Strong stuff KC, so do you think the city is working against us in recruiting and keeping players and managers?

Absolutely not, I?m totally biased but Nottinghams the best city in the world in my eyes 😂. Joking aside Nottingham is seen as a very decent place and people with good sporting heritage. Think you were questioning it too AC.

No joking at all, this city is where I started my life and I want to end it here. Despite my travels abroad, to me it is the best city in the world and nowhere else could offer me what I have here. Love visiting other countries, but always love coming home.

I thought this was a thread about possible new managers not the Merit of Nottingham as a city ??

Sunday Times recently listed Nottingham as the 9th worst place to live in England and it regularly appears on similar lists, at least since it became known as "Shottingham" 20 years or so ago. There's probably little difference though with most cities of a similar size in Western Europe. We must have the best bus service, there is that.

I wonder if Rob Edwards would be any good

[Bohinen]

I could list 20 worse places to live in about 30 seconds. My daughter is at UoN and has friends from all over England, and they all like it here. I'm not buying the fact that some ****hole towns in League 2 are in a better position to attract players.

No chance of Edwards dropping to league 2.

Jimmy sirrel came back twice from 1977-82 and 1985-87 having first managed between 1969-75

It will be a fairly (very?) small market, subject to change with the odd ?10/20 that gets thrown on, but I'm a little concerned that someone has specifically requested BetVictor that Joao Alves to be added to the list. Let's hope it's one of the Reedtz have done it to throw people off the scent, eh.

It looks like 'fake news', Alves has gone from 1/2 to 2/1 in a day.

I think if I put 50p on me to be next manager Elite_pie would make the list at 7/2!
