Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

No from me. That was a magical season which bar Wrexham we stormed but with the likes of Ruben and Macca. ok the defence was not the best but any decent manager should have got that side up, and even then we only just did it with drama at the end of both play-offs. Then he chose to leave, wife has a job/business in Swansea, daughter there too at school? He could have stuck it out with us and benefited from a better defence. There's hardly a rush to employ him, despite his 'non-league' success here.

I think the Bros will think they can do better. They nearly got it right with Maynard. Maybe a lot hangs on Roberto Gagliardi (Staff directory doesn't list him, thought he started 1st May).

The betting means absolutely nothing at this stage, it's just the usual list of familiar names at ridiculously skinny odds. Many on the list will also be quoted for other vacancies. If someone suddenly goes to 1/10 it's quite likely, if they go to 1/25 it's usually a done deal. It's a market I wouldn't touch with a bargepole especially with our owners.

Agree. Picking the next manager is like shooting fish in a barrel so money will stay in my pocket. Perhaps if Jacob Friis hadn?t taken the Finland job he may have been worth a punt but with the bros you just never know. As you say the odds mean nothing at this stage Elite, remember the guy from the Faroes
