Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[tommopie8]

Yep the one who would most likely have left us in four month's time in League One, which would have been well worth the lost 400K in my humble opinion

It's a disconnect that's often ignored. With Doncaster, Bradford, Mansfield as well as Lincoln and a few other sizeable clubs at an average of £20 per ticket would've meant we'd have needed an extra 20000 home/away fans through the gates next year to cover the cost. Easily done.

Like he's going to down tools for 4 months when he's playing for a contract elsewhere and he'd have made more personally as the club wouldn't have had to pay a fee.

Well it can happen looking for the remote at the back of the settee I found a ?20 pound note which I put on myself for the next Notts county manager got great odds will soon be the favourite for the job. I have no experience but over 65 years of watching football I have seen a lot of crap matches in the lower leagues and hundreds crap players and I am an expert at spotting crap players. When I become the manager my policy would be only to buy young grap players on crap wages. If by some good luck one of them turns out to a good player I will sell at the first decent offer cannot this player showing up the rest of crap players it's unfair on them

💯 spot on. Didn't look at the bigger picture

[Boomerangpie]

Most likely is optimistic in my opinion. More accurately more likely.

I think the brothers can definitely see the wider picture more than most

Longer this goes on the more I?m absolutely convinced it?s Hojer coming in, surely LW or any other person not attached to a club would be done and dusted now regardless of holidays/ negotiations. When you consider we?ve bought in a medical director and 4 players already and arguably the HC appointment is probably top of the list of things to do.

We'll announce it then? All it's doing is causing harm to anyone on the fence about a season ticket, especially as our 4 signings so far have been underwhelming to be polite

He?s mid tournament though isn?t he so I understand why they haven?t if it is him.

Why keep quiet? The Danish FA will know what he is doing, as will the players so, what harm is it going to do? It's well documented that his contract expires at the end of the tournament.

Exactly, his replacement has already been announced by the Danish FA, just say that he's taking over after the completion of his duties. If a player is distracted in a major tournament by a press release about a manager who is already known to be leaving, they aren't going to go far in the game

The silence is deafening and a little unthoughful by the Bros. They could put something out, the review that was promised (that can't be a difficult one considering SM was sacked on the back of it) or a simple statement along the lines of "A statement will be made on ...." or "we have a shortlist etc". As mentioned elsewhere if we haven't got a name in the frame by now we could well be in the sticky brown stuff.

Is that official from their FA? I saw one report from Denmark speculating on it but didn?t see anything official, if it is maybe I?m on the wrong lines, wouldn?t be the first time 😂

Yeah just looked, I think it?s still plausible with the timelines of Maynard going and sorting this that I honestly think most FAs wouldn?t want their coaches being announced mid tournament, 2 or 3 weeks before maybe yes, but not right at the start or midway, I imagine that?s hardly ever happened before regardless to whether their contracts up.

Agree with that, and that seems the only hopeful thing we might have to cling to.

Why can't he announce he's going to a club but, the Danish FA can announce his replacement?. If the players know he is going before the tournament starts, can't see how it will make any difference to when he announces his depature
