Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

Christ, didn't realise what I'd started here! My first post since the OP...

Just wanna say...

It's a massive NO for the York manager for me.

I watched them get complete obliterated by Oldham, who look like more of a L2 team.

York played like us in the national league days pre-Luke. It would be a massive step back.

Oldham pressed and bullied them...York had no answers. They went out the playoffs with a complete whimper. There's no way that guy is doing well in L2.

No to Hazelwood/Hishelwood or whatever he's called.
Please No!!!

I think the betting market is a load of bull. There will be artificial activity to attract attention - and persuade fools to donate their money to the billionaires. The only way for them to offset the eventual ITK bets is generate enough interest to attract not-ITK donations

Surely the club knows that Alves has to take up another role. SM was ultimately responsible but Alves was there and associated - the squad has to have new faces and voices on the training ground and in the dug-out

As for Hinshelwood, the appointment would be too similar to the last one. You could even argue that SM's NL record was better than his as making Wealdstone competitive is on a par with nearly getting, but failing to get, a much bigger club promotion.

I'm sure the club don't want another divided fanbase, potentially underwhelmed senior players, a flat stadium, and to relive the same dynamic as the last 18months.

But to land a better candidate make take time, fans should allow for this and not do everyone's heads in complaining about it.

Bit harsh to judge the bloke on 1 game after a 96 point season!

I do like the NL playoff format, but York were at a distinct disadvantage this season going into that game having not played for 15 days, while Oldham had played the week before, got a decent win, and were match sharp. We all want someone with multiple EFL promotions but even so I think Hinshelwood would be a very good appointment.

That's what I thought, Notts nearly came a cropper at the semi-final stage too. The system is supposed to favour the highest placed teams, but really it doesn't, that gap without a game is a disadvantage. So Hinshelwood is pretty much in the same position as Williams at the same stage. I would rather a manager who does it over 46 games than a play-off specialist. We have 3 spaces to aim for, not one, like the NL.

Having said that, I'm not yet convinced the bros won't appoint Alves, or just as bad, insist he carries on as assistant coach. The alternative would be to demote him.
