Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[legs77]

There's hell of a lot on there i personally wouldn't even look at. A stab in the dark for me would be Tom Cleverly. Broke his back in at Watford. Saw bits of them last season & of what I saw i liked but there were times Notts passage of play was excellent like the goal at Donny, but was his team consistent? i don't know.

His name has been mentioned but I worry that the likes of him and Wilshere are not right for us they will play the good footy and have all the coaching badges etc but they?ve never worked with lower league players and it?s a different game down here.

I mean all managers are gambles nobody is a sure fire hit anywhere but as these lads were good premier league players would they expect L2 players to do things that is out of their skill set I wouldn?t have said this 5 years ago or so but now everyone is obsessed with the Pep guidebook.

I?d prefer someone who has operated at a lower level with a decent record and the best name I can think of is Evatt is he someone we can get though ?

Must be at least 10/15 years now since managers started saying that there's no leaders on the pitch anymore and that players aren't talking to one another, so it would stand to reason if there's now a scarcity of managers who have anything much about them in the 35-50 age bracket.

With so many foreign managers taking the jobs in the upper tiers, we ought to be seeing a big pool of stand out English managers lower down. That doesn't seem to be the case though.
