Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[ManchesterMagpie]

The issue is that you might argue the squad is getting weaker not stronger though and thats a worry.

My opinion is that it will be Williams, he hasn?t been touted for any other jobs. Maybe it was agreed weeks ago and we are trying to recruit his ?coaching team? before any announcement ?

This is what I think as well. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they tapped Luke up as soon as he became available in February and it's been their plan all along to bring him back, regardless of whether Maynard had taken us up. It might also explain why the Saunders brothers weren't replaced when they left (also in February) and they may have decided around that time that a new approach to the 'football department' was needed in order to take the club to the next level. Richard Montague, who had been heavily involved at that time also left the club in February. The timing of all of these events just seems more than a coincidence and may have prompted a decision that it was time for a great 'reset' at the end of the season. For all we know Luke may already have been actively involved in recruiting his new 'dream team' on the coaching staff and the club has just been waiting for them all to return from holiday. He has previously spoken highly of Joao Alves for example.

Pure speculation of course but that's my two penneth...
