Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[tied_up_in_notts]

i don't want to start Rumours but i think Buckingham should stick to making music !! i think chasing the managers job at a football club is just a Mirage !!

Personally I think he'll end up at Palace

Surprised a name not on the list is the ex Derry City manager who was strongly linked previously.Rauri Higgins I think his name was.
Personally a big no from me.
Damien Duff has done well over here I think. Don't really follow it over here but is often mentioned

Didn't he openly reject us last time we were looking for a coach? Higgins, I mean.

But most of them you mention are towns not cities. Nottingham is a bit of a sh@t hole. My missus comes from Leeds which used to be the same but is far superior to Nottingham now, she hates the place.

Yup, Nottingham is indeed a ****hole. It's embarrassing comparing it to cities like Leeds and Manchester, both of which have had so much more investment pumped in in recent years.

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

That's B O L L O X

You all know where I live, I've lived and traveled abroad for the last 30 years and despair, each time I come back. Getting out permanently was the best thing we ever did but, it will always be home.

The market square that used to be gleaming, hardly seems to get cleaned these days and is covered in chewing gum. There are dozens of empty shops with drunks and junkies in the doorways and the all pervading smell of marijuana in the air.

I hate Nottingham city centre now, it's so run down and depressing. It's a disgrace.

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.

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.

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?
