Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[matt_magpie]

It would be very strange indeed if the people aiming the abuse at Stuart Maynard, his wife and his kids weren?t Notts fans of some description.

Repeatedly calling him a BT engineer , a clown, a muppet, a moron etc online is embarrassing but to abuse his family is shameful and disgusting behaviour if true

I agree on the snipes about bt engineer etc, cheap digs and probably says more about the posters. I have admiration for hard working people trying to better themselves, was he a disaster? Absolutely not, did he overachieve? No, but not many in the squad did either or the recruitment.

As for the attacks on his family, it?s the lowest of the low.

Maynard and Wilshere are chalk n cheese? one played pub football whilst the other played for England. One captained BT Engineers FC, the other, one of the big 4.
Now don?t get me wrong I don?t know what I?d make of Wilshere the coach, after all he has little in the way of experience, but that fits with what the bros do.
Wilshere hasn?t jumped in to football management with a club but has been learning at academy and then a Championship club. Whilst I assume picking up his coaching badges.

Does playing experience necessarily equate to a more successful coaching career?

Players may well have heard of Wilshere over Maynard, but if someone of Wilsheres profile turns up and cannot communicate, delivers crap training and starts poorly, players will not care if he was Pele.

Also, on the premise of working in an academy, that is clearly an excellent grounding in coaching; but is there much real world football jeopardy in an elite academy environment? Or are they more geared toward development? Probably the latter.

That?s the point tho, isn?t it? Our model is about development, so having that background gives someone like Wilshere an advantage over an SM.
Folks, I?m not saying let?s get him in. But clearly he?s had a different footballing education from SM, that is a fact. Comparing him to the likes of Rooney is also a tad daft as Wilshere hasn?t got an ego to say ?I can go and piss head coaching?, he?s gone and done some low key coaching which may or may not stand him in good stead.
What if he turns out to be an exceptional coach? We don?t need a manager, the model sees to that.

Means absolutely nothing either way, ex pros have said that, carries them a few weeks and then if it isn?t working out, it means nothing.
Can?t remember LWs glittering career or glittering managerial record, same higher level, Wenger, Mourinho, it?s about the individuals coaching/management abilities.

Someone?s playing career is usually a poor indicator of whether theyll be any good as a coach or not and Wilshere is the same. The owners wont really know either and employing him will be a gamble like with anyone whose first head coaching job it would be.

Whoever it is I hope they have good tactical nous and an ability to change games that are going against us. It seems like a while since we had a coach or manager who could do that.

It does indeed and that?s because it isn?t too common

Into the unknown once more undoubtedly.

If it was Williams he'd have been announced already surely.

Not really. I'd say there would be some bargaining going on from both sides if they were in talks. Get out clauses & player signings for starters

My betting advice on this market is don't touch it with a bargepole. Unless you have very, very reliable inside info.

The odds being offered are beyond a joke. There are 49 options on BetVictor when I last counted, and four of them are 6/1 or less. Even worse when you consider the next head coach might not even be among the 49!

Good fun for rumours and conjecture, but nothing more.
