Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[SwalePie]

Very small, those odds changed in the 3 mins between our posts.

Alves went from 4/7 to 3/1 in about 15 mins.

Quite entertaining tbh. I wonder who'll be next to pop up as a new favourite? I notice Oddschecker didn't even have time to look up the correct spelling of Jack's surname

Jose Mourinho?

[marky]

Wilshere left Norwich because they've rejected him and they're getting Liam Martin form Bristol City instead.

Jose Mourinho?

Well Solskjaer is on the list and he's managing Besiktas so with Jose at Fenerbahce you never know

Loved him as a player but struggling to imagine him as a manager

I was thinking the same. He wasn't the type of player you'd imagine would turn into a top manager, but who knows.

Edit: Just watched this interview he did recently at Norwich. To be fair, he comes across really well. Not sure why I had this assumption that he was a bit of a "lad". Seems like a smart, well-grounded guy.

This is a good interview with Wilshire and touches on a few points I would have been concerned about such as his passion, his ability to understand what league 2 players can do and also too tippy tappy

The only problem with employing those ex high profile players is that they tend to use the club as a stepping stone. I would prefer someone who would give us a little more long term stability..

[Could'vebeenacontender]

I suspect we may look for a recently retired player who is coaching at another club - similar to what Portsmouth did last season with John Mousinho from Oxford
Didzy will possibly go down that route eventually but he may want to carry on playing for another year

Wilshere now in to 11/8

Wilshere now in to 11/8

His interview is in The Nest (although not ours).

Obviously a hidden message there!

Unfortunately, we're at a point where any coach or manager is likely to see us as a stepping stone. If someone takes the job and manages to get us up and then into the promotion mix in League One, it's almost certain that bigger clubs will come calling. Realistically, I doubt we can match the kind of salary or opportunities needed to keep them here long-term.

We're a League Two club, not Real Madrid. *Any* manager will see us a stepping stone.

Chris Millington (no, me neither) has left Halifax , and BetVictor have immediately dropped him into the running at a tempting 10/1......

Strangely, Halifax fans are clamouring for Maynard as his replacement.
