Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[kill_the_drum]

I love Nottingham.
I moved away for 8 years between 2006-14 and appreciated it so much more when I returned.
It has its run down areas, but so does every city.
I?ve had many nights out in Manchester and don?t see how it?s any better.
We have some great bars/restaurants, some lovely parks and countryside, great golf clubs, and obviously Meadow Lane.
I love travelling but always happy to be home.

Des Buckingham now clear favourite at 2/1. I'd be excited if it were him

Buckingham would be a fantastic appointment if he was realistic. Ticks all the boxes of being a modern coach who has worked on set-ups like ours while with the City group, plays the kind of football we want, and has a recent EFL promotion on his CV.

With the bookies to come back to Notts...
Thoughts?

Wild card manager? Alan Sheehan? Currently coaching at Swansea and use the stats/
database system for recruitment?

It's the absolute pits &, the suburbs. Was back home end of November for the 1st time in a few years & couldn't get over how run down & unmaintained things were. As Bulwell lad born n bred & lived there for 27 yrs, was adamant I would never leave but, I wouldn't move back now anywhere in the suburbs even if you paid me. Everywhere is going down hill, even over here in Ireland & the town i live in.
It's a fcuking **** hole.

Still think it's too early to take the odds seriously, but if Buckingham is a serious candidate, this interview is worth watching:

He describes the tactics he used to win the playoff final against Bolton. Sort of a 4141 but could also be described as a 433. Really interesting to see his approach. I think this formation would work great for us, with Jones and Jarvis in more attacking roles where they can do real damage.

really interesting, agree. He comes across as highly astute, and the fact he brought it all home speaks volumes for his coaching (and the players' ability) on top of the tactical smarts.

His international background fits the Bros model too - although previous form suggests they'll pick someone entirely off most fans' radar. I also wonder if DB isn't looking at bigger fish than Notts. He would almost certainly be a serious upgrade on SM.

If he (or anyone else of that standing) is in the running it'll be up to the Bros to sell next season to him. They didn't have to say much when SM got the job other than "Do you want it?".

Alves now 2/5 odds on.
For the love of god surely they wouldn?t appoint him

I'm not so sure, some nice buildings along the canal side, the area between the station going up the lace market broad marsh as some nice landscaping, I like the large square and looking up at impressive buildings, yes the begging seems to be out of control
