Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[ManchesterMagpie]

The issue is that you might argue the squad is getting weaker not stronger though and thats a worry.

My opinion is that it will be Williams, he hasn?t been touted for any other jobs. Maybe it was agreed weeks ago and we are trying to recruit his ?coaching team? before any announcement ?

This is what I think as well. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they tapped Luke up as soon as he became available in February and it's been their plan all along to bring him back, regardless of whether Maynard had taken us up. It might also explain why the Saunders brothers weren't replaced when they left (also in February) and they may have decided around that time that a new approach to the 'football department' was needed in order to take the club to the next level. Richard Montague, who had been heavily involved at that time also left the club in February. The timing of all of these events just seems more than a coincidence and may have prompted a decision that it was time for a great 'reset' at the end of the season. For all we know Luke may already have been actively involved in recruiting his new 'dream team' on the coaching staff and the club has just been waiting for them all to return from holiday. He has previously spoken highly of Joao Alves for example.

Pure speculation of course but that's my two penneth...

It can be argued that the squads are getting weaker not stronger, and although it is impossible and totally unrealistic for the squad to get stronger year on year, for me that is not the case so no issue. Recruitment at Notts County has improved notably under the current owners.

Talking of owners I read our former owner Alan Hardy mentioned earlier and although on some metrics, just a few mind, he can measured against the current owners favourably or at least equally. However on the vast majority thankfully he can?t. Worlds apart

Held various roles at Viborg from 2008-2019 before Denmark U21s, so with links to the owners' nationality as well as the other club they own, it's surprising his name hasn't entered the fray before now.

This chap was suggested on the new Mad board yesterday. It's a good call I reckon, and would explain the delay, and the lack of updates from the club. His contract with the U21s ends this summer too.

As long as its not Williams..

Coaching interview with Steffen Hojer for anyone interested. Sounds pretty Burchnall/Williams-esque so a good fit for Notts?

Did the bros have a stake in Viborg when he was there? Thought they got involved after buying Notts

Yes, they own a majority stake in the club.

It was 2021 when the got involved with Viborg so the answer is no
