Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

Hinshelwood odds starting to drift Alaves shortening again

The fact that the two of them have pulled so far ahead in the betting makes me think manager and assistant.

Why would Hinshelwood want to work with Alaves? The person we bring in should be allowed to pick his own staff.

Dunno. Probably nothing in it, but Ive no idea why people would be sticking money on Alves otherwise.

I think most managers would want their own pick of backroom staff if given the choice, although it depends how keen they are to come.

Hinshelwood hadn't been on my radar until I saw him shooting up the odds, but looking at the largely unremarkable squad he had at York, he must have been getting something approaching the maximum out of them to finish where they did, even though they fell short in the playoffs.

We could contrast Hinshelwood's relative over-achievement with Stuart Maynard, whose biggest failing was that he didn't appear to get the best out of a Notts squad containing considerable talent. The club statement said as much.

Personally both wouldn't impress me, I think the owners need to make an appointment that shows they mean the business this coming season

Me neither. The concensus on t'board seemed to be that we needed a manager with EFL experience, possibly one with some sort of promotion on their CV. They deffo ain't that.

Assistants like Alves are always high up in the odds for jobs though. Let's face it, if the season started tomorrow he'd get the nod as caretaker. Thankfully it doesn't.

King Luke or Des Buckingham for me.

There's so many non-descript managers who fit the Brothers' MO - in fact most of them are in the betting odds.

I really hope it isn't Hinshelwood, Alves or Williams.

[SwalePie]

Hinshelwood and Alves both in to evens now.

I see Plymouth are looking for a new manager ( didn'tknow he had gone) so we could be facing competition from them for our potentials
