Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[Old_pie]

Why are people so hesitant to accept the way the Bros are running the club is here to stay? In 6 years we?ve had 5 play-off campaigns including a promotion. The squad has remained consistent with the type of players we?re signing, to play the way the club wants to going forward. Each year will be an evolution of the last, with a little more quality added each time, along with a HC who can implement that way of playing.

Yet all I keep seeing is ?need an experienced manager?, ?needs to control recruitment?. Didn?t that way lead us into the National League eventually, with bloated squads of 3 or 4 different managers players, that the next manager through the door didn?t want?

I get the new setup isn?t the old fashioned way everyone is used to, but it?s more than refreshing for me, to see that a plan is in place, the players and HC all follow a playing style, gates are considerably up, post the Hardy/Trew era and before. Moneys being invested in the club, players being bought in for a fee, players are leaving for a fee in excess of what we bought them for. Let?s keep the momentum going!

Because we get fed up of being beaten by most of the other top teams with more established managers. Beating low hanging fruit results in a good season, beating your peers results in a championship fight or at worse, winning play-offs.

In the last two seasons the top 3 teams had either recently spent time in league one or had a massively inflated budget for the level, theyve been promoted because of the quality of player not just the fact they had 'established' managers.

Infact we've routinely dispatched 'established' managers througout our time in this league: Artell, Hughes, Lindsay, Flynn, Alexander, Adkins, Adams. All experienced, most won promotion but all lost to Notts (some multiple times).

You are getting 'established' managers confused with 'strong squads'.
