Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[slack_pie]

I don't think going "back" is always wrong.

Scott Lindsay is back at Crawley.
Paul Cook returned to Chesterfield.
Eddie Howe returned to Bournemouth.
Martin Allen managed Barnet on a number of occasions.
Jimmy Sirrel had multiple spells at Notts.

I'm sure there are more examples. The question is whether he's the right man for the job or not. I think he'd help unite the club once again. The players and fans would get behind him. My only issue is the style of play. I know it was successful in the NL, but I was starting to wonder about it int he months leading up to his departure. Harrogate away was one of the worst performances I've seen from any Notts side. Totally devoid of ideas, with both sets of fans doing ironic cheers each time we passed it back to the keeper. I feel like we need to move away from that style rather than further towards it.

That said, it's Luke Williams, and I still love him. I'd be cautiously optimistic and hopeful that he's learned along the way.

100% this. This *never go back* stuff is nonsense. Id love him to come back, I think he would be far less likely to be off next time around and he probably wouldn?t get the offers anyway. If he fancies it, it?s a no brainer for me. What a welcome he?d get first day of the season.
