Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[theadissey]

I honestly don't know why people have already decided that it's gonna be a name we're seeing pop up in the news and betting discourse. The owners are dilligent and have probs had their ears to the ground for months now, probably even as earliest as Jan/Feb. I have no doubt they'll always be on top of manager movements because all it takes is associated winning percentages and look of a manager and they're picked up by a team above us, like Burchnall and Williams. It'd be daft if they didn't have a roadmap on alternating paths/outcomes. I'd be suprised if it was someone like Buckingham, because he's already known to be a good coach, but again, likely to be snapped up if we start off really well which leaves us when Williams left for Swansea. I think it'll be someone we won't really have heard from, but fits the bill and hopefully in accordance to very recent events, they bring in a very experienced backroom staff (and one with depth for that matter).

That might be so but he is a walking disaster of a manager but it hasn’t stopped 3 championship clubs employing him basically on his name as he has achieved nothing as I said.

Neville didn’t have to take it but he thinks he is the oracle on everything from football, politics and business you only have to listen to him I mean even after his spell you’d think it would humble him abit but no he puts the boot in on people far better than he is.

Buckingham didn’t have to have over 100 games to his name before Oxford came in for him and he had earned his stripes out of the spotlight.

You are right it is about luck but at our club you have to also factor in you don’t get a full say on transfers too so if we sign cr*p the coach will take ALL the blame which imo is completely wrong.

Yes Evatt got a chance without anything but no disrespect we are a much bigger club than Barrow and our fanbase is far more demanding we should be going out for someone with a record if we can otherwise what is the point sacking Maynard ?

Evatt got Bolton up though out of this division which in recent history have certainly been a bigger club than us. No idea what a personality he is, heard a couple of interviews a while back and he sounded level headed and straight talking and probably be my No1 choice but I think we?d do really well to get him.

11/8, not 1/8? And Alves is still 13/8, so looks like nobody is any the wiser.

Damn, you?re right. A faux pas on my part. Late at night googling isn?t a good idea 🤣

It was a BT engineer last time. Have any bus drivers' names been mentioned?

Glen Riddersholm is in the betting at 33/1, could be him.

Let's throw Ronnie Pickering into the frame, he'd put some fight into the players

Brian Priske now 5/4 favourite. Would be mental.

2/5 now, I think that's the shortest odds I've seen of any candidate

Is everybody F5/refreshing this site for news? It's painfully slow and keeps crashing.
