Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

Gerrard currently 10/11 to be rangers manager.

As an asside Southgate is 33/1 to be our manager.. Better to put the footballs coming home (fcuked it up) song to bed

Re: New Manager recruitment process in place

They were actually worse under Schumacher.

I wonder if the negative reviews from Bolton fans is a case of familiarity breeding contempt, because the stats suggest scoring goals has never been a problem with his sides - even last year (when they scored 39 goals in his 26 games).

I think you may be right about Evatt "losing" the Bolton supporters because he'd been there so long - I'd also say that expectations had become very high at that club because of the job Evatt had done there.

I wasn't that enthusiastic about Evatt when I first heard about him being a possibility, but I'm still thinking in Championship terms - Evatt wouldn't be a bad appointment for a League One club.

A bit like Dave Jones?

I used to get hammered for supporting Dave Jones now a lot people talk about it like the good old days

According to WOL Tan "has now steered away from a desire to appoint young, and proven managers... It seems there is now a necessary criteria of previous managerial experience, preferably in English football, and ideally a promotion on the CV."

They reckon there are about 10 names on the shortlist now.

Quite a long shortlist.

but a short long-list

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

Given where we are he wouldn't be a bad appointment. If we'd stayed up then I wouldn't be as happy.
I thought the committee/agency etc were deciding a short-list of 6 not 10 to be interviewed. 10's too many.

From reading WALES online today, I have written to Ken Choo and told him that I reckon Dave Jones as DOF and Ian Evatt as team manager would be an excellent choice for our club in League 1.

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

so in terms of contract length for our new manager/Head Coach to be

1- 12 months with an option of another 12 months depending on performance a bit like Buluts deal ?
2- a straight 2 year deal
3- a straight 3 year deal

Think in this present climate option 1 for me

what's yours ?
