The king is dead, long live the king

So, now that we’ve been put out of our misery comes the fun part: guessing who our next boss will be.

Thankfully the Reedtz got us off the managerial roundabout of appointing journeyman managers, so it’s nigh-on impossible to predict who the next head coach will be.

For no logical reason, I think we might go continental - maybe a Danish coach? Going to be a fun ride, and thankfully there’s no game tomorrow so we have a bit of time. Can’t imagine we’ll have someone in place by the Grimsby game, but maybe Stockport on the 20th?

If he signs a contract and sticks by it, he will get my vote.

I love it how you suddenly find a bit of morality in this case, but fully supported a Prime Minister who spent his whole career lying and cheating!

He's like a broken record except both sides are the same. Sure he'd never call for Notts to break a contract of a manager if they had lost 10 on the bounce...

I personally would like the brothers to shelf their long term vision plans until May - use the compensation to attract someone of established calibre that has a presence on a short term deal incentivised by promotion.

It's going to be a whole lot easier this season than without Langstaff and McGoldrick another year older.

Who that is? I'm sure I don't know. I certainly won't qualm if it's an U23 coach making a step up or someone from lower down the pyramid. Just think there's still half a season and about 17 other teams would swap places with us in the league. Momentum is everything and if someone comes in and doesn't impress the players I can see this season fizzling out awfully quickly.

A good call. Won’t ever happen, but the thought did occur to me with the idea of a Martin Allen type manager on a short term, get us hard to beat and keep collecting points.

More likely to be a reserve coach who is promising etc…

Does it work both ways? So even if we have a manager who fails we should keep him for the entire duration of his contact?

I don't remember Soccerman complaining about not honouring contracts when we sacked Fullarton. Imagine having to put up with him for two years or whatever it was just because it was the decent thing to do!

And didn't Hardy say he wanted to sign Harry Kewell on a five year deal?

Well cheers for those reminders Elite. The cat's crying now.

Don't think there is any point guessing. No one got the last 2. Hope Durham keeps quiet this time😂
