Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[SwalePie]

Serious question considering he has promotion on his CV to champ what would be seen as non underwhelming?

Buckingham the same to the champ, Evatt to L2 and to L1, LW to L2, are they seen as better options? Or do people want someone else who has done more?

His record appears to be basically one good season but I guess we could say that for many candidates tbh.

Evatt - A winner and he would clearly be a poular experienced appointment.
Buckingham - Would be great but I doubt we'll get him
Hinshelwood - I fear he's a one season wonder, I can actually see him being sacked at York early next season if he doesn't hit the ground running.
Williams - Been here before, popular, knows a fair few of the players
Priske - Would certainly be interesting if nothing else.
Wilshere - Don't really want to be known as "Jack Wilshere's Notts County".
Williamson - Wanted him here a couple of years ago but not convinced now, think he's gone backwards.
Alves - May as well have just stuck with Maynard if he's in serious contention.

Richardson - Not totally convinced but he did fairly well at Wigan and it was really harsh on him when he was sacked there.
At Rotherham he took over when they were already adrift but he had no real impact and their squad was woefully inept at Championship level.
I thought he managed Accrington at some point as well.

True. If he's the one let's get behind him and see what he can do.

Bit of an article on the man here and his time at Wigan:

Apart from Rotherham, his record doesn't seem too bad. Still has a 35% win rate even after a poor spell there.

That was my point really, I don?t think we?ll go for him anyway if he?s overly direct, I think Priske is never going to happen, LW in my opinion would be done by now if he was so keen to come back and we wanted him.

If we?re going for the likes of Buckingham and Evatt and maybe still LW their probably still weighing up their options which is understandable with it still being early doors, plus I guess it?s the 2 weeks when everyone is away for managers who have been in work.

Why does it take 3 weeks to get him in,if out of a job & they had started to look before the end of the season? Couldn't have been that many to interview

[keldsyke]

If true, will be happy with this at last someone in charge with some experience rather than the Brothers ?Lucky Dip? approach with transfers and appointments.

Could have other options, took Rangers a long while and Martin wasn?t their first choice.

The gers had way more candidates to look at & from different Countries

To have 3 EFL promotions on your CV is exactly what you want, as we know that this trick is repeatable.

The manner of the last two dismissals, however, should give pause for thought. Those stats are alarming, although it can happen when you're not good enough for the Championship as a smaller club. Even so, it suggests that when things are good he can keep them rolling. When they're not, he can't stop them spiralling down

[pjace]

Richardson has drifted out to 2/1 jt fav with Alves

Why would Rangers have more candidates than Notts?

[SmiffyPie]

Why would Rangers have more candidates than Notts?

Is that a serious question?

[matt_magpie]

Is that a serious question?

Very much so. I?m not doubting the calibre of the viable candidates is higher, what I?m disputing is the volume.

Russel Martin wouldn?t have applied for the Notts job and the York manger wouldn?t apply for the Rangers job but probably would the Notts job.

There?s no reason Rangers pool of candidates is higher than Notts just because it?s a better job. To go to extremes I?d say the pool and amount of viable candidates for the Real Madrid job is less than Notts as they can only look down and we for example can look up and down the leagues for candidates.

Tobais Solberg now in at 4/1 from nowhere.

Who? Is this the one we will have never heard of?
