Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[Notts_fan_Ken]

I think he'd be a good fit for us.

I didn't say he wouldn't be, but he is already in a head coach job at a club two divisions above us. He isn't going to be the man.

[matt_magpie]

He is not likely to leave a job that he as just been appointed to.

A lot of Swansea fans didn?t even want him. Hopefully we?ll have someone in the next couple of weeks.

Yes Ken, l was agreeing with you 👍 It's just a left field idea.

Hope its sooner than that

Hope its sooner than that

Agreed. Tuesday would be ideal so we can get on with preparing the club and management structure for the new season ASAP.

Evatts odds dropping. Was he the Barrow manager in the Conference when we were there?

I could get behind that

[matt_magpie]

I could get behind that

I could, promotions at Barrow and Bolton and nearly got Bolton in the championship, I think we?d do very well to get him.

[marky]

I'd be very happy with Evatt or Buckingham and I certainly wouldn't complain if it was Luke Williams either.
Any of those would be a real statement from the brothers.

Yes, both would be fine candidates for the job

Yeah he was mate.

[Mud Pie]

Still think it's too early to take the odds seriously, but if Buckingham is a serious candidate, this interview is worth watching:

He describes the tactics he used to win the playoff final against Bolton. Sort of a 4141 but could also be described as a 433. Really interesting to see his approach. I think this formation would work great for us, with Jones and Jarvis in more attacking roles where they can do real damage.

really interesting, agree. He comes across as highly astute, and the fact he brought it all home speaks volumes for his coaching (and the players' ability) on top of the tactical smarts.

His international background fits the Bros model too - although previous form suggests they'll pick someone entirely off most fans' radar. I also wonder if DB isn't looking at bigger fish than Notts. He would almost certainly be a serious upgrade on SM.

[irishpete]

Yeah he was mate.

Thought he did. Thought he got slated on here for his tactics

If he (or anyone else of that standing) is in the running it'll be up to the Bros to sell next season to him. They didn't have to say much when SM got the job other than "Do you want it?".

Alves now 2/5 odds on.
For the love of god surely they wouldn?t appoint him
